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.

Embellish? Trump falsely claimed the ex-president’s Trump Tower triplex is 30,000 square feet, rather than its actual square footage of 10,996.

"felony mis-measuring".

Gosh, it's too bad that the lenders don't employ to people to actually look over a proposal, eh?

You're a clown, cucks.

He wasn’t convicted of a felony. But he is a fraud.

It’s well known that Lefties like you don’t have a sense of humor when it comes to The Trump revealing your small-minded authoritarianisms.

"There is no red state in the nation."
Florida is a haven thanks to our governor (who is frequently besmirched on FR) and present legislature; at least until we are taken over by Democrats fleeing from the North.

First rule of holes:

Stop digging. Agreeing with people like Hochul who use bills of attainder against their political enemies is a bad look, even for you.

“I think that this is really an extraordinary unusual circumstance [we're using it against ONE person, not anyone else] 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 [the "law" just applies to the person I named],” Hochul responded.

"This bill of attainder is TOTALLY not a bill of attainder," said Kathy the Authoritarian.

Joebucks is anti-Trump.

With never a bad word for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Fani Willis, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg or Kathy Hochul.

It's almost like he's a Democrat.

But he voted for Ronald Reagan many years ago...

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) ‘Nothing to worry about’ says the scorpion to the frog.

Remember she was part of the last administration of Andrew Cuomo that murdered at least 19,000 people by denying them treatment for the chinese virus.
Over 33,000+ died overall according to Cuomo that he says was from the covid-19.

I did go there. While a few newbies to me chimed in, it was mostly a redux of you.

Unfortunately millions of Americans will just see the headlines and think Trump was guilty of fraud. Most of them have not followed the case in detail. It’s the low-information voters that hold the balance of power in a close election.

Thanks for the informative post. It looks as if I had the
right mindset all along regarding New York, not that I can
brag from California.

Like you tagline too. Exactly right...

The rest just rolled their eyes at the idiot who believes in bills of attainder deployed by his Democrat heroes.

It’s funny. Trump isn’t fighting or even mentioning this as a bill of attainder.
