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.

“Pay no attention NY businesses....everything is just fine. 🙄”
The intent was to get Trump only so nothing to worry about...Go about business as usual, guys.
So everyone here believes all NY based businesses embellIsh their numbers?
Apparently, joesbucks believes that all y'all are wrong about this, and Trump is just a crook and a fraud.
He wasn't targeted at all, says joesbucks.

Parts were so obvious that a trial wasn’t necessary. Summary judgement. Others were tried. In any event, his crap caught up with him. He is a fraud.

Hochul: “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.
joesbucks Leftsplains to all of us: "She [Hochul] says the law abiding businesses have nothing to fear. Is your supposition that there are no law abiding businesses in NY state so they better buckle up?"

just be sure you’ve a check for 10% to the Big Guy...and you’ll have nothing to worry about whatsoever!!!
Who knew Hochul was part of the Cosa Nostra...
They apparently advocate the "Rule Of Democrat Lawfare", and openly applaud it in the face of reasonable people.
Never debate an idiot.
One appointed by the legislature and the other 2 by a popular vote...that way states rights can be at least partially restored. We need to double the size of the congress...harder for the Dems to Jerry mander and more representation in congress.
Agree with your sensible view!
“selective bargaining” replaces “equal application”
Ha! Leftsplains.
JoeS is a Hochul and Judge Engoron apologist.
Persecution of businessmen is not a new thing in NY. Recall that Client 9 terrorized Wall St to become governor. Hochul is going to suffer the economic backlash against NY. The fat racist black communist James is waiting in the wings.
so let me get this straight, they say his NYC property was “overvalued”, BUT, dint he pay TAXES ON THAT “INFLATED” RATE?
don’t they owe him some money for over taxation???
Yes. Trump is a fraud.
Nah. They can defend themselves.
YOU'RE a fraud. You're no conservative - you're a follower of people like Kathy Hochul and Fani Willis.
When they’re right, they’re right. When they’re wrong they are wrong. Simply because they have a D next to their name doesn’t automatically make them wrong or evil. And the same for conservatives.
Quote: “So everyone here believes all NY based businesses embellIsh their numbers?”
So define “embellish.” Who decides? What is the objective standard? The answer is that there is no objective standard. It is highly subjective and a Judge will decide. It’s New York State, so that will likely be a very very leftwing Judge.
Let’s say you own rental properties in an LLC. Ok, you go to refinance those properties. Or, you want to buy more properties and you list them as assets. The loan application asks you to assign a value. You do. It is irrelevant that the bank does its own underwriting.
Years later, you are at a school board meeting objecting to the porn they want to teach your kids. Well, look here. You are already labelled by the feds as a terrorist. Now, they can have NYS look into your business and go after you for having embellished your assets on your loan application.
Your defenses will be meaningless. Bring in an appraiser to say your are correct. The Judge won’t care. He won’t, especially a liberal judge. You are a white supremacist terrorizing school board meetings. Everyone knows those people lie and need to be punished.
Quote: “Nah. They can defend themselves.”
You are just being silly now. What defense? They don’t like your politics, they say you overstated the value of your assets. A Judge will decide.
You offer an appraiser or real estate expert and, hey, isn’t that cute. But a Judge is going to be presented with two valuations. Your fate is now in the hands of a left wing Judge.
Game over.
That isn’t really fair.
But then again, you did defraud someone and the victims need justice. Of course, we have to search for victims. Still looking. No luck so far.
Oh wait, I found them. They are all the people who have to listen to your hate speech. You know, things you as a conservative say that they hate.

And when its bedtime you sleep and when it’s not you don’t. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Did the owl know how many licks to get to the center of that tootsie pop or did he overstate it? Couldn’t he have gotten there in one? What did Tootsie roll know and when did they know it.
That's where you're wrong, kiddo.
We need to have joesbucks show us on the doll where President Trump touched him.
