Imagine your complete personal financial destruction. All it takes is a deranged District Attorney and a deranged judge who hold a different political view, i.e. the democrat view.
We have that deranged DA in Letitia James, the DA of NY. She campaigned on getting Donald Trump, who she called “an illegitimate President”, and is making good on that.
She brought charges on a victimless civil violation solely aimed at Donald Trump. No one in history was ever found liable under the statute in question when no money was lost. No one complained. No one aside from Trump was charged- not the bankers, lawyers or realtors who were necessarily involved in the process. No one. Just Trump.
Then we have a deranged judge- Arthur Engoron, who openly hates Trump. He piled on a historically onerous fine and now they total nearly half a billion dollars with interest accruing at about $110,000 per day. Here’s the kicker- the person found liable by the deranged judge has to post bond before even beginning an appeal. For you that means that for some sniveling offense a DA can ask for an astronomical fine on you and a deranged judge can multiply that if you simply hates you. And the deranged DA can seize your assets.
And being in a hostile state doesn’t help:
A New York Appeals Court judge denied Trump’s request late last month to delay payment of the $464 million owed as a result of the lawsuit brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, but said he would temporarily allow the 2024 front-runner and his sons to continue running their business during the appeals process.
A New York Appeals Court judge previously ruled that the former president must post a bond for the full amount of the judgment and that an independent director of compliance will be appointed.
Constitution be damned.
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
This is obviously selective prosecution. Jonathan Turley
In New York, the legislature changed the statute of limitations to allow Trump to be sued while New York Attorney General Letitia James effectively ran on a pledge of selectively prosecuting him. She never specified any particular crime, just promising to bag Trump.
Ultimately, James used a law in an unprecedented way to secure an absurd penalty of roughly half a billion dollars, even though no one lost a dime because of the Trump loans.
Should this succeed, it will become that standard by which democrats eliminate first political rivals, and eventually supporters of opponents. Deranged left wing DA’s in a deranged venue will find some stupid infraction, have the law changed to make it work, and then find a person liable for fines which the deranged judge will then amplify to the point where the accused would have to sell one’s home and assets to post a bond in challenge. So you lose your home even if you ultimately prevail.
Then it will come for you.
