The Real timschochet 6,421 Posted October 2, 2023 12 minutes ago, shadrap said: that is fine. regardless of the obviously biased judge, prosecutor & I assume the subsequent guilty verdict this will get tossed on appeal. I'm not an attorney but have dealt with them, banks & real estate for many years. you know the old saying. I can prosecute a ham sandwich & this is exactly what is happening. I also assume that the prosecutor knows it won't survive an appeal, but she ran on getting Trump so you got that. I won't speak for the other prosecutions but this one does not pass the smell test & will be a legal massive fail. I don’t know why it would get tossed on appeal.

Engorgeous George 2,131 Posted October 2, 2023 1 minute ago, The Real timschochet said: I don’t know why it would get tossed on appeal. I will watch this with mild interest. If Trump did what is commercially customary in valuation of assets for commercial real estate loans, even if it involved substantial puffery which is a legal concept, I don't see where the fraud occured. If the claim against him is for misvaluing assets for tax purposes and thus not paying sufficient tax I see a victim and a case, but puffery in commercial settings between parties with an expectation that would occur and with the resources to make their own evaluations as to whether they have adequate security for a loan, I don't know. Right now I am unclear as to what would be the appealable issue, the errors alleged. If I do end up following this maybe I will learn a little something about commeercial lending. Then again, maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,097 Posted October 3, 2023 Quote Former President Donald Trump said he will testify at his civil trial, while speaking just outside the court room during a break in proceedings. “Yes, I will. At the appropriate time I will be” testifying, Trump responded when asked. Trump is expected to testify later in the trial, and he is on the witness list for both the state and his own legal team. Trump’s lawyer has previously said he is eager to testify in his own defense. I can't believe this isn't going to be televised! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,097 Posted October 3, 2023 How awful must it be to have Trump as a client(that's not including that he stiffs a fair percentage of his lawyers). Quote Judge issues gag order and rebukes Trump after social media post attacking his clerk Judge Arthur Engoron rebuked Donald Trump after the former president attacked his clerk in a social media post on Tuesday and forbade the parties from making any future comments about his staff. “This morning one of the defendants posted on (a) social media account a disparaging untrue and personally identifying post about a member of my staff. Although I have since ordered the post deleted and apparently it was, it was also emailed out to millions of other recipients,” the judge said in court. “Personal attacks of any member of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them,” the judge said. Trump looked straight ahead at the judge as he issued the order. The judge then said all parties must not speak publicly about any members of the court staff. “Consider this statement an order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any members of my staff,” Engoron said. “Failure to abide by this … will result in serious sanctions.” Trump posted on Truth Social Tuesday attacking Engoron’s clerk, claiming she was a “girlfriend” to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, and showing a picture of the two of them together. “How disgraceful!” Trump wrote. “This case should be dismissed immediately.” It was not immediately clear there was a connection between Engoron’s clerk and Schumer beyond taking a photo. Monday, Trump also went after the clerk in his comments outside the courtroom, though he didn’t mention her by name. “And this rogue judge, a Trump hater. The only one that hates Trump more is his associate up there,” Trump said. “The person that works with him. She’s screaming into his ear almost every time we ask a question. A disgrace. It’s a disgrace.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I DO blame him because this clerk is an an innocent girl; she had nothing to do with this prosecution and it amazes me that you’re okay with it. Trump is a POS.

KSB2424 3,148 Posted October 4, 2023 All the time, money, and energy focused on a “supposed” crime, that has no victim and doesn’t make common sense. The lenders, did their due diligence and were paid back WITH interest and are happy. Meanwhile in D.C. violent crime is up 38%. NYC, crime is up as well, but the District Attorney is bringing up CIVIL CASES on the behalf of…… Trump, Biden, but this is complete nonsense. 100% politically motivated and any person with an ounce of American integrity should call it out for what it is.
