New York high court nixes Trump appeal, clearing way for testimony
CNBC ^ | June 14, 2022

Posted on 06/14/2022 4:19:15 PM PDT by lowbridge

New York’s highest court rejected former President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to avoid testifying in the state attorney general’s civil investigation into his business practices on Tuesday, clearing the way for his deposition next month.

The state’s Court of Appeals said there was no “substantial constitutional question” that would warrant its intervention in the matter following an intermediate appellate court’s ruling last month enforcing a subpoena for Trump’s testimony.

The court also dismissed a motion by Trump’s lawyers to stay the subpoenas, saying that doing so would be “academic,” since it wasn’t taking up the former president’s appeal in the first place.

Trump and his two eldest children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., agreed last week to answer questions under oath starting July 15 unless the Court of Appeals decided to step in.

The appellate division of the state’s trial court ruled May 26 that the Trumps had to undergo a deposition, upholding a lower court’s ruling that James’ office had “the clear right” to question Trump and certain other figures in his company, the Trump Organization.

James has said her three-year investigation has uncovered evidence that the Trump Organization exaggerated the value of assets including skyscrapers, golf courses and even his Manhattan penthouse to get loans, insurance and tax breaks for land donations.

Anyone else would pay a fine if anything. But this will be national headlines all over the world. They will try to jail him for this.

The never ending witch hunt hunt

They’ve gone over trump for nearly seven years now, and
haven’t found anything to charge him with, without cause
one.

Then we have Hillary who we know started a hoax that
seriously harmed Trump’s ability to lead our nation, in
certain important ways.

She hasn’t been investigated at all.

She brought the corruption of Arkansas with her, and
nationalized it.

Actually, that's quite an interesting blast from the past.

The Senate Democrats were soiling themselves over gasoline price increases just before Memorial Day 2018, sending a Shrieking Outrage Letter to President Trump about how an average American family was going to pay 167 dollars more that summer for gasoline because Orange Man Bad.

I paid an extra double sawbuck for a single tank of gas just last week.

But there was no Shrieking Outrage from any Democrat anywhere.

One might start thinking that Democrats are a bunch of lying, dogfeces-slurping HYPOCRITES about anything in the public sphere...

IF I am applying to any financial institution for a loan using real estate as collateral-—the BURDEN of appraising the real estate in question falls onto the LENDER-—NOT the Borrower.

If I own a building & I wish to have maximum insurance on it, that is between me & the insurance company.

IT IS NEVER the purview of the AG.

George W Moron’s favorite appointee, John Traitor Roberts, says there’s no such thing as an obama judge or a trump judge. They’re all just paragons of virtue who’s wisdom simply can not be questioned - and they’re all totally above the fray. Politics has nothing to do with their decisions.
