New York State Targets U.S. Citizen Donald Trump with Unprecedented Lawfare Maneuver, Effectively to Place Him Under a Personal Consent Decree

The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, but also mentions “excessive fines” and bail. The “excessive fines” clause surfaces (among other places) in cases of civil and criminal forfeiture.

In New York state, Attorney General Letitia James, in coordination with New York Judge Arthur Engoron, are seeking to continue the targeting of President Donald Trump with a series of financial judgements, penalties and control mechanisms intended to isolate the leading 2024 Republican presidential candidate from his wealth.

As if something akin to the John Galt character in Atlas Shrugged was coming to life, no American individual has ever faced this level of intentional weaponization of power. If the state appellate court does not intervene, I predict a federal judge will have to get involved. The reason is simple; the State of New York is clearly violating the 8th Amendment, and despite the compromised judiciary, the scale of overreach is even beyond the ability of the pretending judicial system to overlook it.

😌 A lot of words to uncover a nugget - the sad truth.

D.C.s connection with its people has deteriorated into plunder and autocratic rule.

New Speaker Mike Johnson is presented to us as saint and savior - in reality he turns out to be status quo.😕

Now the House will be surrendered to aggressive tyrants before the 2024 election and our Constitutional Republic may fade into the history books.

Donald Trump and the state of New York have become emblematic of the overall collapse. 😬
