So instead of focusing on, or even considering with any seriousness, Trump’s, clearly, illegal financial misrepresentations and inflation of his property values to secure loans, you’re choosing to myopically focus on the law allowing an extension of the statute of limitations rather that his wrong doing? And you’re also relying on a conspiracy theory, and no real facts, as to why this law was enacted. It clearly helped rape survivors prosecute their rapers in the Catholic Church, so maybe that’s part of why an extension was provided? It’s this crazy cult-like willingness you have that’s fascinating. Trump is a crook. He lied about his property values (Mar a largo at a billion lol) to illegally get loans and you casually brush all that away. He did illegal things. Why can’t you admit that. Even if he is your God king? He is clearly fallible and a bad person who worships money. Can you even admit that? Don’t you think he deserves the fines? Render unto Ceasar? |
Not a chance. And, he has no ability to raise the needed funds. Fact is, when he has to sit for the liquidation hearings, his whole house of cards is going to collapse. His finacial fraud will be fully exposed. "great business mind" indeed - he is a conman and has been since day 1. It is so ironic...he could have never run for President, and kept his head low and weathered this out. Instead, he got mad that the black guy embarrassed him and here we are. |
+1 Without your money he’ll have to declare bankruptcy (again) and look weak! Can’t have that. |
Actually, civil penalties cannot be discharged through bankruptcy. He's screwed. |
+1 He has become such an embarrassment. |
Totally, also, Jonathan Turley is basically the paid mouthpiece the right go to when they need to someone to corroborate anything “constitutional”. He was Trump’s speaker at the Ukraine dirt scandal. He’s a Fox News shill. Anyway, not that that will sway you in any way. I mean you feed from that news trough. |
When the liens start hitting Trump assets and he's forced to sit for debtor exams the truth will emerge that the NY case has exposed, not just the instances of fraud in the allegations raised therein, but that his entire "empire" is simply a grift. |
Anyone else ever notice the amount of cope in so many pro-Trump posts and on Fox News? Like he is getting demolished in every court case, but there is so much “Trump is flipping the script on x or y!!!!” When in reality he is just a conman being exposed and basically losing all his cases. |
Yep. |
They can't be discharged, but bankruptcy would still help him delay. When you file bankruptcy, there is an automatic stay of all litigation and collection efforts against you. This is what Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani are both doing. Jones was found liable over two years ago and hasn't paid a dime yet because of bankruptcy proceedings. |
Part of the filing is a statement of assets and liabilities. That's dicey when you've just testified under oath about how much your empire is worth and you have prosecutors who would love to charge you with perjury |
Oh I’m aware of that, although I missed it if this article mentions it. I think the idea is to delay the enforcement, and perhaps get him out of all of his other debts that ARE dischargeable in bankruptcy and then he’s have these funds? Not sure. Lots of magical thinking by Trump’s lawyers and sources close to him in here, typical Josh Dawsey. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/20/trump-bond-bankruptcy/ |
Trump we ill have the money on a Monday, March 25,.he's just trying to get away with putting up $100 million. His lawyers offered no proof they had been turned down by all these bonding companies. He will be able to pay even if he has to sell his evil soul to his equally evil daughter and SIL to borrow money from them. |
Chubb lent him $100M already. Now he needs $500M. |
Is he trying to get sympathy votes? Play the victim? |
