Cohen: Trump Can’t Afford NYC Fraud Judgment — He’s in ‘Complete and Total Panic Mode’
Breitbart ^ | 02/16/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/16/2024 5:35:14 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Michael Cohen, a former personal attorney for Donald Trump, said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the former president can not afford the New York City civil fraud trial judgment against him.

Cohen said, “Where does he come up with $355 million? That’s exclusive of the $86 million or $88.6 million that he owes to E. Jean Carroll in that civil case. This is a staggering amount of money for virtually anybody, maybe there’s a handful of people in the entire country who can afford to write a check for half a billion dollars, Donald is not one of them. Right now the pressing issue if he’s going to appeal, how does he appeal? Does he put up a cash bond? Where is he getting the cash bond from? He’s not going to find somebody to bond it for him. He couldn’t find somebody to bond $5.3 million in the E. Jean Carroll case.”

"Cohen STILL hasn’t accepted that his “15 minutes” never was."

So far, Michael is still a convicted felon. Trump isn't.

>>Appeal(s) are coming and NYS will never see that $300M+ penalty.<<

Exactly. That charlatan knows it and is just trying to curry favor with MSNBC.

Trump isn’t going to pay a penny of this settlement. By the time the appeals have been exhausted, he’ll be 108 years old.

This bum was saying these things on MSNBC. He knows it will make they women wet and the men wishing they could get hard. They love the idea of an “enemy” suffering greatly. There are tens of millions of them. Their sadists who would be thrilled to watch any one of us tortured to death. Does anyone here really want to share the nation with these animals?

Trump could easily take out a loan against Mara-Lago since it is valued at over a billion dollars.

A billion? I was going to try to pick it up for $18 million.

Appeal(s) are coming and NYS will never see that $300M+ penalty.

But New York can collect the penalty while the appeal is pending, unless Trump posts a bond for 120% of the verdict.

Get the appeal in a venue outside of NYS on grounds of prosecution persecution and judicial bias and misconduct.

There is no mechanism, under state or federal law, to move the venue of an appeal.

Plus someone just posted an article where he stands to make $4 billion. Maybe the domestic enemies can fine him $4 billion for jay walking

Using Cohen as an attorney was not smart.

“Where does he come up with $355 million?”


That’s actually a consideration. The judge made the penalty so absurdly large that it is a serious impediment to appealing in the state, even for someone as wealthy as Trump.
