Hochul tells NY businesses not to fear about Trump verdict: ‘Nothing to worry about’
TheHill ^ | 02/18/2024

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and the inability to conduct business in New York for three years.

Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”

“I think that this is really an extraordinary unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.

A New York judge on Friday ordered Trump to pay the massive sum in penalties in a civil fraud case. The decision came just weeks after closing arguments wrapped up a months-long trial after New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) sued Trump for alleging he falsely altered his net worth to receive tax and insurance benefits.

NYC is a obviously place where any wise business person should NOT to do business. There are plenty of business-friendly cities and states where the Liberal mafia doesn’t exist.

Is she admitting that the whole ridiculous affair was targeted specifically against Trump? Sure sounds like it.

“nothing to worry about”

...if you’ve done nothing “wrong”.

In other words: Run. Now.

One wonders if Donald Trump did business as a private individual or as a corporation. If business was done as a corporation, how can Trump the individual be fined?

Or was in fact a corporation with some ownership tried and found guilty and fined.?

If corporate, how can Trump be prevented from doing business for three years?

Do they have trees for lynching Black law weaponizers in NYC?

Yes, and this needs to be entered as a material fact in Trump’s appeal.

Sure, because you could charge ANYBODY with this "crime", when they might overvalue their properties while trying to get a loan.

The old pulp novel ‘The Spider vs. the Empire State’ called this back in 1938...eerie, to say the least.

It’s usually referred to as a bill of attainder…specifically an attack on one President Donald Trump and it’s illegal, in a just society.

You speak of a just society. The whole point of the weaponization of the kaw is to achieve Black equality. Justice is not an issue
