Complaint Calls for Trump New York Trial Judge’s Clerk to Be Disbarred for Excessive Political Donations
Breitbart ^ | 11/2/23 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 11/03/2023 3:58:28 AM PDT by CFW

The top clerk for New York Justice Arthur Engoron, Allison Greenfield, appears to have violated judicial rules preventing officers of the court from making excessive political donations, Breitbart News has learned.

What’s more, it appears Engoron was advised of Greenfield’s violations in a 72-page complaint addressed to his court via email that was also filed with the New York State Bar Association the same day he decided to issue a gag order against former President Donald Trump in his case currently playing out in Engoron’s Manhattan courtroom. Engoron has subsequently fined Trump a total of $15,000 for two alleged violations of that gag order preventing the former president from criticizing his principal law clerk.

This year and last year, Greenfield apparently exceeded that $500 threshold. Greenfield began as Justice Engoron’s principal law clerk in 2019—so she has been in this position for several years and in the two most recent years, 2022 and 2023, she violated the ethics rules for judicial staff.

In 2022 alone, Greenfield gave thousands of dollars in donations. The donations, which can be found in New York’s elections database, total several thousand dollars. She gave $200 to the Four Freedoms Democratic Club in New York on May 2, 2022. She gave $175 to the Chelsea Reform Democratic Club in New York on April 5, 2022—and gave that group another $210 on July 25, 2022. She gave $350 to the West Side Democrats, Inc. in New York on June 15, 2022. She gave $50 more to New Yorkers For Alex Bores on Sept. 8, 2022. On Oct. 26, 2022, she gave another $50 to the Four Freedoms Democratic Club. On Sept. 12, 2022, Greenfield gave $100 to the Grand Street Democrats. On Dec. 2, 2022, Greenfield gave another $100 to Hell’s Kitchen Democrats. .....

That's a lot of donations by a judge's clerk. And she exceeds the allowed limit by quite a bit.

A Democrat giving one’s own money away is an improvement in my book.

Other than the District of Columbia itself is there a political/administrative jurisdiction in this country as corrupt as the State of New York?

The money went to Democrats, so there’s probably nothing wrong here.

That’s taxpayer money paying her salary, so it’s not her money.

There is absolutely no way the judge “didn’t know” about this...

Yes. Erdo gagged Trump to suppress news about his corrupt clerk. Illegal donations to Democrats highlights the biased, two tiered justice system in NY. Erdo could face ethics charges as well.

The real underlying issue is that Engoron needs to be immediately removed and the kangaroo court case against the Trumps dismissed. But how

The clerk knew the way to grease the skids for constant promotions. Make large contributions to the party in power and you get to ride the escalator up the administrative ladder.

If it wasn’t as corrupt as the judge you could report it to the Bar, but we all know how useless that would be.

“Yes. Erdo gagged Trump to suppress news about his corrupt clerk. Illegal donations to Democrats highlights the biased, two tiered justice system in NY. Erdo could face ethics charges as well.”

You know... It could be that these were actually “straw donations” to these entities from the judge through the clerk as a proxy.

I have said it again and again, These judge’s “personal” finances need to be investigated with a fine tooth come.

Bet there are matching amounts on the same approximate dates from the judge to the clerk, and from the clerk to the political entities.

This judge Engoron is running a total kangaroo court.

I have been meaning to say this earlier, but getting a judge like this is probably that very good thing for Trump as we knew earlier about this person’s ACLU and other left leaning biases and now we get to learn about the clerk’s not particularly scrupulous dealings. Whatever Trump is found to be guilty of by this judge is probably easy to be challenged upon appeal that good deal because of the judge and his clerk likely acting in that very improper manner due to these biases and other related activities.
