There was no victim. No crime.
Is sanity to be found in this courtroom?
Has Tish been using this statute to nab other developers?
Lady Justice is no longer blind to party labels.
Considering this has never been used in the history of New York against anyone else you start to wonder if some of these judges aren’t thinking hey this is ridiculous you just went out to get his guy and took a one off appraisal as gospel.
Trump was always going to win this on appeal, and everyone involved knows it. But the point was to score political points with the verdict. They wont care later if it succeeds in Trump losing the election.
Exactly. Trump and his team applied further loans, the bank reviewed the loan applications, did their due diligence, found the terms proposed to be acceptable and gave the loan. Then, the loan was paid back on time in accordance with the terms, and everyone parted ways happy willing to do business again.
The other “crime“ is thinking that the Mar-a-Lago property was only worth $18 million when the landed is on is probably worth more than that.
The real problem is: All 5 Justices are Dems.
What, exactly, are the damages? Everyone was paid in full with interest.
To save the reputation of the NY justice system, It’s not enough to to toss out the case. James and her hunchbacked Igor must be disbarred. Further, the judges should order that NY pay Trump’s legal expenses. This case was a gross miscarriage of justice.
If this is upheld, why would anyone ever develop real estate in the state of NY again?
In a just world, Letitia and Ergeron would be disbarred, and Trump allowed to sue them for damages.
This basic rule of law was used to squash most election fraud lawsuits. It wasn’t that there wasn’t evidence of fraud, but the courts ruled that the complainants had no standing to bring the lawsuits
This lawsuit was even worse as there was no victims to sue for.
If the loser of the election had no standing, the other party could cheat and declare victory...oh wait, that’s what happened.
Surprising to hear that from a NY State court. One would only expect to hear something like that from a Federal court.
IIRC he can sue for damages...unjust prosecution.
Both Judge Merchan and “Tish” should be disbarred. Period.
Sorry, Judge Eggnog. My bad.
Banks aren’t in the habit of lending money without verifying collateral value. That’s what gets me. They found one appraiser valuing the property at $18 million, probably using a cost-replacement valuation and not a market valuation.
The fact that any judge allowed this thing to move beyond a hearing is insane.
