Former RNC chair: Trump bond decision ‘makes absolutely no sense’
The Hill ^ | 03/25/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 03/25/2024 10:41:38 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele criticized the New York appeals court’s decision to pause enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment against former President Trump and his company over deceitful business practices.

In a terse order on Monday, a five-judge state appeals court panel said it would delay the enforcement of the $464 million judgment against Trump, the Trump Organization and top executives, plus interest, if they post bond within 10 days. The bond amount was also slashed by more than half.

“Yet again, @realDonaldTrump gets special treatment with his own private system of justice,” Steele, a regular critic of Trump’s, said in a post on social media.

“The NY Appeals Court has decided to give Trump more time to pay less money by reducing his bond from $454M to $175 and giving him 10 days to get the money,” he continued. “This makes absolutely no sense.”

The pause comes after Trump’s lawyers said last week that, despite “diligent efforts,” it would be “impossible” for the former president to secure the full appeals bond because of a lack of cash on hand.

Michael Steele, the phony POS, played the race card to get to be the Chair of the RNC, while being a RAT operative all along.

Is this guy for real? This case shouldnt exist. Its never had precedent and now NYC needs to do damage control. Get Trump isnt working because there is law….Not his special treatment.

On what planet (other than DNC headquarters) does anyone think DJ Trump is getting “special treatment” by the courts or the DOJ or any other legal entity? The only special treatment I see is to be especially hounded and harassed in ways never seen before in this country.

I’m going to agree with Steele on this one. Trump is getting ‘special treatment with his own private system of justice’. It’s special that he is being prosecuted for a felony phone call in Atlanta, felony bookkeeping in NY, felony documents keeping in Florida, and $450,000,000 damages from a loan granted and paid. Did I miss one or two ‘special’ cases?

Or is that not the kind of ‘special’ Steele hand in mind.

I know that I’m preaching to the choir, but it bears repeating.

Can you believe that this POS was foisted on us as the RNC Chair by GOP elites?

Would the Democrats ever place such a similarly contemptable person at the head of the DNC?

The players always identify their real team affiliations with incautious words. You just have to pay attention.

But fining Trump a half billion dollars for no crime made sense to him.

“...his own private system of justice.”

WTH? The “prosecution” has cooked up their own brand of jurisprudence, most of which does not conform to the US Constitution or any precedent in case law.

At what point does “prosecution” become persecution and essentially a bill of attainder against political rivals?

Talk about a magic negro.
No skills
No intelligence
Nothing to recommend him at all.

Yet somehow the rnc saw fit to hire him for that high paying position.

Big news! I just added topic "breaking news" so users can see it at the top of the sidebar.

Pleasantly surprised. I was afraid NY appeals court would be worse than Engoron.

Michael Steele is proof that the Republican Party was practicing DEI before it was cool.

The new figure is still outrageous. It should be reduced by $174,999,998.00. Then we can all tell Donald, "Just pay the two dollars." Like Roger Thornhill's mother is North by Northwest.
