Former RNC chair: Trump bond decision ‘makes absolutely no sense’
The Hill ^ | 03/25/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 03/25/2024 10:41:38 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele criticized the New York appeals court’s decision to pause enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment against former President Trump and his company over deceitful business practices.

In a terse order on Monday, a five-judge state appeals court panel said it would delay the enforcement of the $464 million judgment against Trump, the Trump Organization and top executives, plus interest, if they post bond within 10 days. The bond amount was also slashed by more than half.

“Yet again, @realDonaldTrump gets special treatment with his own private system of justice,” Steele, a regular critic of Trump’s, said in a post on social media.

“The NY Appeals Court has decided to give Trump more time to pay less money by reducing his bond from $454M to $175 and giving him 10 days to get the money,” he continued. “This makes absolutely no sense.”

The pause comes after Trump’s lawyers said last week that, despite “diligent efforts,” it would be “impossible” for the former president to secure the full appeals bond because of a lack of cash on hand.

“Special treatment,” all right. A@@-hole RINO.

Steele you have shown what an idiot you are and why the Republican have struggled. Utter incompetence.

No there is nothing astounding about lowering an outrageous bond to be able to file an appeal (still outrageous, now, but less so) nor is their anything outrageous about staying enforcement of a judgement during an appeal.

Amazing the level of stupidity within the establishment Republican Party.

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair

AND UTTERLY WORTHLESS POS and SHAMELESS WHORE

Michael Steele criticized the New York appeals court’s decision to pause enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment against former President Trump and his company over deceitful business practices.

Mike is the LUBE man for the nonstop circle circle jerk the RINO’s at MSNBC have every day.

Bernie Madoff only had to put up 10m and he defrauded so many people and businesses. But Steele feels Trump got special treatment when no crime was committed and no one was hurt.

Steel has gone round the bend.

Why can’t these people see that this case is a sham of
justice?

I once thought highly of this guy. Now I pity him he’s
so out of touch with reality.
