It is simply a fact that there are very, very few bond companies and insurance companies on the entire planet able to cover the cost of Donald Trump’s appeal in New York.
I would juxtapose this post with Erick's other one today (concerning Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate the House chair) in arguing that the actions of a few prosecutors no more constitute actions of the left than Greene's constitute acts of the right. Furthermore in regard to those individual prosecutorial decisions, in any case where they win, they would not have been doing their jobs had they not pursued prosecution.
The biggest safeguard that we have against politically motivated prosecutions are juries consisting of ordinary citizens. There having been none in Trump's NY fraud case, his appellate rights are the only check on the whims of just one judge. In sum, I have no problem with the case having been brought against him. (Indeed, I think it deliciously ironic that Trump is now asking people to accept properties as collateral that everyone now knows to be worth less than he says they are worth.). However, fundamental fairness (that is, that there be some safeguard against the whims of just one judge) requires that the bond posting somehow be waived if necessary for Trump to obtain appellate review.
I'm not an expert in the matter, and it's been a while since I was laboring on the lady's plantation, but it seems to me DJT should have a 42 USC sec. 1983 action against quite a number of folks.
This will never be used against the left because they control the media that would strike up the chorus either in favor of them or against a conservative target of theirs
And while the feds still have a good case in the classified-docs case (most notably the obstruction), Hur just torpedoed the optics of the case. It's going to be impossible for Joe Sixpack to understand why Biden got a pass and Trump didn't.
Now Trump is floating the idea of taking Truth Social public, and projected valuations have already reached stupid levels (talk about the ultimate meme stonk).
I doubt Trump could IPO it before the election, and there's a ginormous legal can of worms involved even if he were Mr. Clean, but this could be a source of cash and/or collateral.
You have to be a bit older to remember this ad but this may very well be the "Kodak Moment" that gets Trump re-elected. Like Trump or not, few Americans want to see our Justice system so twisted that they agree with this tactic. Time for someone in NY State to stand up to their AG and say "back off" before they put a permanent chill on doing business in NY State and prove Trump's assertion of a personal attack rather than enforcing the law.
I'm referring to the NY judgment. It might be good to spend a little more time looking into the investigation. It should scare the hell out of you. Regarding Washington, I agree with you. Atlanta is more than questionable, which I believe the state will lose in court. I do have a big problem coordinating with the White House counsel. And 'that' should scare the hell out of you. This is my last response. I appreciate the decorum and wish you and yours nothing but the best.
The left are not the high and mighty as they see themselves as. They are mean and petty just like everyone else. As for rules of law or rules of society Erick is correct, the left goes by Calvin ball, meaning there are ever changing rules which allow them to win. What is disgusting is the attitude they demonstrate. The attitude of "we the chosen can break the rules at are choosing to crush those we disagree with" and then to actually flaunt that idea while wearing a veneer of smugness.
Thank you again Erick for bring this up as we need to get people the information out there and get this info to a LOT of people that just are not getting it.
I think Jonathon Turley a couple of billionaire developers, even a wealthy Obama supporter have said the actions of both the prosecutor and the judge are far out of the realm of normal, reasonable and legal. Surely there is a court that can step in and stop this. There was no crime in the first place and the punishment is nothing but vengeance based on hate.
Watch this all blow up on the left. Not sure exactly how or when but no question it will be epic. Karma’s a bitch. As for New York, they lit the fuse of their guaranteed death as a world business center.
The corruption of left to get one man and to bring this country to its knees is just mind boggling. If the American people cannot see this then we are doomed.
"American people cannot see this then we are doomed"
You are so right on and that is the problem. There are NOT enough people that see this, or really understand and know anything about what is really going on with those that are in control. They want total control of this Nation and when Trump won the first time, that really set them back and they are making sure it will NOT happen this time.

The Prog Left is really, really overplaying its hand in NY and GA. They want to showboat for the crowd and could wind up losing the game.
Prog Left be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJSN4FgvoNg

It sounds like he's not going to IPO it but use a SPAC.
I wonder if Trump can't sell shares during a lockup period, if he could borrow against them...???

If it is a due process violation how can they let this go? What recourse is left?

Rules are for thee and not for me. The American left’s version of justice. Hopefully the man gets justice.

What would you do if you lived in the time of rising Fascism? You are living in it now.
So what can be done? As this is a clear violation of the 8th amendment? But I don’t expect Dems to follow constitutional law.
Can he sue? Can he get this before the scotus? I mean honestly what?
