Alan Dershowitz just said the other day that the verdict will be overturned in the Federal courts.

Now They are saying that Trump has to pay &5000 down just to Appeal. This is so clearly election manipulation. The Supreme court should be involved. How can a state nullify a candidate like this. They should at least have a stay until the Appeals court can rule.

I do not recognize the validity of a law that allows a person to
be prosecuted if there was no harmed party.

This is soviet show trial territory. Whether you like Trump or not, no person should have to endure the level of vindictive persecution that Trump has to endure.
Especially if it’s being perpetrated by the federal government. Even being a case in NY, this is coming straight from the top.

What's worse is that who gets the penalty, the state of New York?

Normally, victims get restitution for damages they suffered. Who was damaged? Who gets paid?

This was just a money-grab by New York state, and they should be punished for it.

It's the New York legal system that are the racketeers in this mess.

I understand your reasoning, and on the face of it can’t
argue against your point.

Now it may be that certain loans were carried out with
a percentage rate the court thinks should have been higher,
and perhaps they are awarding funds to restore their claimed
loss (claimed by the court). I just don’t know.

A lender and a client came to an agreement. Business was
conducted under free will. Both parties were satisfied
with the transaction. I have no idea how a court can
just jump in and toss all that out, to take a person they
loathe down.

Absolutely disgusting of James and that nasty judge. We all knew what was going to happen because neither of the two held back their opinions on the Trumps. Especially President Trump. They had decided the verdict before the trial!

“In electing openly partisan prosecutors such as James and District Attorney Alvin Bragg, voters have shown a preference for political prosecutions and investigations.”

Right there is the crux of the whole issue. As long as the vote counters keep putting these a$$clowns into office, there will be these despicable outcomes.

The prosecution was obscene to begin with. The verdict moreso. The award incomprehensible.

I'm going to keep a running tally of personal and business expenses that I will NOT be incurring in New York.

I already have my first line items:

ITEM: Client meeting (I was looking forward to this trip, but I informed the client today that I'll be signing in online instead)
2/20/24 -- $151 ... hotel for one-night stay (taxes included)
2/20/24 -- $10 toll
2/21/24 -- $12 (estimated lunch expense)
2/21/24 -- $10 toll (return trip)
---------------------------------------
TOTAL -- $183

New York is one of our oldest and most distinguished bars. It has long resisted those who sought to use the law to pursue political opponents and unpopular figures. It will now be tested to see if those values transcend even Trump.

Turley reveals himself as a naif.

Is there a name given to a situation where the judge can use his position and his hate, to do a personal hit on someone.

Is someone on this as I speak?

Dear Alberta’s Child, 10$ tolls?, $12 lunch? I take it that you haven’t been to NYC in a while.

Who said my trip was to NYC? It's not.

I've taken this same trip about a dozen times in the last two years. The only thing that varies (seasonally) is the price of the hotel room.

The trial was one long legal
obscenity as well.

About the only thing missing in this NY trial judgement is a firm date in the Lubyanka cellar with Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin.

That train left the station long ago, Mr. Turley.
