Democrats have resorted to astonishingly sleazy tricks to stop voters from backing Donald Trump, yet perhaps none as sleazy as their bid to have a court artificially bankrupt him — even before he has a chance to appeal.
Trump’s lawyers said Monday the ex-prez has been unable to get a bond to satisfy a $454 million judgment against him in state Attorney General Letitia James’ civil-fraud case.
Which was James’ real goal, in hopes that impoverishing him will make it hard, if not impossible, to run an effective campaign for president.
Unless Trump comes with a bond (or cash) by next week, James can start seizing his properties. His only way to avoid that: a fire sale of those same properties.
It’s outrageous. How would he get them back if his appeal succeeds?
Either way, his losses would be enormous.
I do believe there is something in the constitution about cruel and unusual punishment. Trump has an outstanding example of this. This must be fought with vigor.
Its the 8th Amendment they are violating for excessive bonds
Trump is simply being treated like any other person would. When you lose a civil case you have to pay, or you can appeal if you first post a bond to secure the amount of the judgement. Why is this even being discussed?
It’s being discussed because this is cruel and unusual punishment 8:55. It is definitely a violation of the eighth amendment. A 454 million dollar fine is unprecedented. He did nothing different than all the other realtors in NYC have done. His lawyers should be all
It’s being discussed because this is cruel and unusual punishment 8:55. It is definitely a violation of the eighth amendment. A 454 million dollar fine is unprecedented. He did nothing different than all the other realtors in NYC have done. His lawyers should be all over this violation of Trump’s civil rights. Next question ?
