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.

Forgot Mittons. Remember, in 08!Limbaugh said he met the criteria of a conservative. Embodied all 3 legs of a conservstive stool. V
I think we begin to see your plan for 2024.
Stay on Free Republic throughout the 2024 election season, undermine and disparage President Trump at every turn, and then write yourself in once again this November.
We see you calling him a "fraud" on this thread, and cheering on the REAL frauds - people like Hochul and Letitia James, who spit on the Constitution every chance they get, contrary to their oaths of office.
You support their use of a "bill of attainder" against our once and future President.
You're a cryptoDemocrat plant on FR, cucks.
To ensure the separation of powers, the Constitution prohibits Congress from issuing Bills of Attainder. Only the court system is permitted to determine whether someone has violated a law and to issue punishment.
This is far from a bill of attainder. Which goes back to my point that you are a not interested in an outcome. Not the rule of law.
GFY Joesy.

“The New York State laws used to go after Trump have NEVER been used in this way…not a single bank claimed that it had been defrauded by Trump in the loans it had made to him. This is truly a victimless crime…James and Engeron have essentially turned a vaguely worded New York State law into a modern day Bill of Attainder targeted at Donald Trump both for political gain and because they despise his political views…” https://reason.com/volokh/2024/02/18/president-trumps-kafkaesque-civil-trial-in-new-york-state/
GFY. Chicken. Just come out and say it. Using the acronym is the same as saying it. And yes, he’s a fraud.
A bill of attainder is a congressional action without a trial. Congress didn’t make the law. And there was a trial. Thus not a bill of attainder. Frankly, you’re smart enough to know that. Why not take sometime reading Ergoron’s decision.
I said exactly what I wanted to say lefty. You understood it clearly. You're the only fraud here.
Say it. What a wimp. Traditional MAGA snowflake.
Nothing to worry about, if you are Democrat. Conservatives are not welcome in New York, even Andy Cuomo admitted that.
I said it and you understood it. Post your opus and be done with it.
The message is “If we can harm Trump, imagine how we can crush YOU!”
Proving that the whole business was the dirtiest of dirty politics.
But it has the same effect, as it was crafted to harm one individual.
Help me out. Just what does it mean. Get Free Yams? Go Free Yearly? Great frosty yogurt? Grandmas favorite youth?
As soon as someone in the leadership chain says “nothing to worry about”, you had better be prepared with your Plan B. ALL businesses should be looking to incorporate and move out of New York, because a storm is coming.
Read Ergonon’s ruling. You might learn something.
Admitted PUBLICLY by the oath-violating governor of New Jerk state, and her lawless prosecutor, Letitia James.
Of course, this doesn't bother the NeverTrump phony "conservatives" on FR.
No, they sally forth here with defenses of Hochul and James, straight from MSNBC.
Just LOOKIT that fraud defend his girls Kathy Hochul and Letitia James.
"We're gonna twist a 'law' a law into pretzels to get ONE person - but that's not a bill of attainder! Nosirree - who ya gonna believe - us, or your lying eyes?"
Read Ergonon’s ruling.
“When I use a word,” Democrat stooge-judge Engoron said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said real conservatives, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Engoron, “to twist the 'law' to make it say what I want - so me and my partisan Lefty buddies, like Kathy Hochul, Letitia James and joesbucks can get Trump — that's all.”
=================
And joesbucks' defense of the partisan Left on Free Republic goes on, and on, and on...
