A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.
If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.
Delay. Delay. Delay.
He has to pay $175M in 10 days. For now. That could get extended. Or reduced. Or both. No reason to assume he’ll be held to that now. All evidence points to it being reduced or extended again.
What evidence? The judges on the NY State Court of Appeals are all appointed by Democrats. More than that, he personally insults judges, making him not a sympathetic defendant to them.
They are tolerating him so that he has no avenues for appeal to the NY State Supreme Court. That’s exactly what Judge Engoron did in this case. Stop being a doomer and take the win.
The fact that they already gave him an extension and a reduction once, just now. How can you be in this thread, yet not paying attention? They are literally at this moment giving him exactly the special treatment you claim there’s “no evidence” for!
Are you not paying attention? I just said they are tolerating him so he has no legal avenues for the judgment to be reduced or appealed. Like it or not, this is what you have to do with clients who have lots of money for lawyers.
He’s not getting away with anything. These judges are making sure he’s 100% fucked. If you don’t understand this principle, just say so. Have you ever followed a court case with a wealthy defendant?
you just plain do not understand what is happening. They are helping him to appeal, the bond amount is part of the appealing process, its collateral put away until the appeal is over and the judgment enforced. This was an appeals court.
Of course! If the judges reduce it now then Trump can’t get it reduced later! Just keep reducing it down and there will be nothing for Trump to appeal, brilliant!
The fact that is was cut 60% just because Donald said he wasn’t going to pay
This is literally the opposite… they are bending over backwards to give him a better chance to appeal
Where is the win?
The judgement was not reduced. The amount of the bond he has to post ahead of time is reduced, and it’s still $175 million!
Better chance to appeal? He can appeal whether or not he posts the bond. Read about the case more.
I never said it was the judgement, I knew it was the bond but the point remains… Why does he get a break?
Also, he needs to post the bond to appeal, that’s the whole issue here… They are giving him a 60% discount to make it easier for him to appeal… Maybe take your own advice and read about the case more
How about this. The fact the appeals court didn’t even give a reason for the decision. So can the next person that wants to appeal cite this? Not really because there’s no reason to cite. The piss judges couldn’t even be bothered to release their rationale.
