New York Governor Admits State Legal Targeting Was Only at Donald Trump

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.

It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.

(Via The Hill) – 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 a ban on conducting 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.

Of course this won't prevent a guilt verdict. And it won't cause the conviction to be overturned in state appeals courts. But it will...eventually,at least...result in it being overturned in Federal court.

However,that doesn't matter to Rat Party Headquarters.All they want are guilty verdicts before November.

Our system of justice today exists only for the purpose of giving Democrats a way to exact punishment on their political enemies. Can a free society survive such corruption of power?

“ New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.”

This kind of talk is insane. It’s true. It explains her position. But it’s insane

Trump haters have a trait in common. They believe most people either hate Trump or eventually will hate Trump and anyone else deserves to be rounded up and thrown into jail.

NYC seems to be the same den of thieves that is was during the American Revolution.

Bill of Attainer. Prohibited under the Constitution. Law specially crafted to get someone in particular. Ex Post Facto. Making a law up to make something a crime after the face. Prohibited. Jury trial for anything over 20$. I’d say over 350$ million dollars calls this into play. So much mockery of the Law here. There once was a time when Americans tarred and feathered public officials for things like this.

No doubt the financial assesssment books on thousands of real estate deals all over New York City are no different than Trump’s, which the New York Governor admits those other real estate interests don’t need to worry about.

This is how ‘the law’ works in totalitarian hellholes.

So for all you business owners out there, for people who borrowed money to buy a truck or a restaurant or a home YOU will be ruined if YOUR POLITICS differ from the thugs and goons in the democrat party.

Got it?

They’ll take you to court and destroy your life and your business if they don’t like you... and they can go back years to ‘discover’ your mistakes. That’s what the stupid bimbo New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul is saying. “Get out of line and your life is over.” Suggestion: don’t borrow from New York Banks... move your business to Florida.

Hey New York Business Ownwers and residents, you hear that, you got nothing to worry about....

When a Politician that is incapable of telling the Truth says you got nothing to worry about, It is time to CLOSE, SELL and RUN AWAY as quickly as you can.

Ok so it was directed against one specific individual only. The next question is why. Let’s hear it from her. Trump is a private citizen like any other.

NY is 100% communist now. I feel bad for the few good people living in that state but if they are smart, they will get the heck out ASAP. NY is like CA, OR, WA, IL, NM, and others that are fully Marxist totalitarian states.

The good states should secede. I see no other way to preserve freedom for real Americans. Obvious all the Marxists are Anti-American and worthless to the USA, or what’s left of it.

The implication is that as long as you do or say what they want you to do or say, you have nothing to worry about. Get out of line and you will regret it....................

‘ESSENTIAL’ FEDERAL SPENDING BILL

....

The Treasury shall withhold payment of all money under current federal law to the State of New York and its political subdivisions and legislated entities and pay it instead to Donald J. Trump upon his application at any IRS office in the State of Florida until he has received $500 million.

Any payment he shall so received shall be free of federal revenue imposition.

There shall be a 100% federal excise tax on all punitive damage award income in excess of the lesser of:
1. 10% of the federally taxable income of the defendant(s) in the last federal income tax year(s) for which a return was last due prior to the initial case filing date(s), in the jurisdictions which the injuries of the plaintiff(s) occurred,
2. the annual income of the plaintiff(s) in the last federal income tax year(s) for which a return was last due prior to the initial case filing date(s).

The plaintiff(s), their legal representative(s) and the court(s) awarding such punitive damages shall be jointly and severably liable to file such federal tax returns as the Secretary of the Treasury shall require and for payment of the tax itself.
