So my understanding is that if Trump wants to appeal it, he has to either put up the $83.3 million into a court administered escrow, or get a bond for that amount. How much would such a bond cost, and at this point, who would give Trump a bond for $83m?
Particularly when Trump might also have to disgorge $300m+ more with the Manhattan fraud trial decision that will be coming soon? |
Even if the appeal is based upon the Judge's alleged relationship with the Plaintiffs' counsel? |
Do you think this letter is pure optics? |
No, it's pure theater. Its only intent is to delay. |
But it doesn't delay anything. The verdict is in and the judgment entered. The appeal clock is running. This is just an incompetent lawyer being incompetent. |
That's not quite right. If Trump wants to appeal, he doesn't have to post bond. It's only if Trump wants to stay collection proceedings while the appeal is pending that he has to post a bond. If I'm a financial institution, I'm not providing this bond at any price that's much different than face value. Nothing is certain, but there is a fantastic chance the appeal will not go his way and the judgment will remain owing. This isn't a bond guarding against a remote, contingent possibility. It's a very probable, if not quite certain, liability. |
This. Everything Trump does is based on what the public reaction will be and how it could be of benefit to him. |
E Jean Carroll is a fraud. There is zero evidence of her claims and she has been caught multiple times spreading her lies. |
