Lol there’s 70 million wise and observant voters who see this filthy librul witch hunt for what it really is!
Sure are, haha. At some point with a democracy it comes down to the voters though.
Our in our case the EC.
Trump has yet to win a majority of American voters and probably will come up short again.
They're being given the opportunity to refile with the corrections. I don't think this is going to turn into anything big.Looks like the $175M bond was rejected because the paperwork was not completed properly.
There is a vast difference between not having the money and not having the assets.I don't think there should be a legal prohibition from holding office but I think a rational voter would see someone that deeply in debt and decide that someone that compromised shouldn't hold high office.
Trump clearly doesn't have the money to cover these judgments, he said as much to the court, that means these guys have tremendous leverage over him.
I think that there's an absolute argument to be made that if you are standing for high public offices then a really good look through your finances are in order. I'm not talking specifically about Trump but if you are indebted then that needs to be public just to avoid any conflicts of interest.There is a vast difference between not having the money and not having the assets.
I don't know how billionaire's operate as I'm not quite there yet (just nine hundred ninety nine million and change to go), but it seems unlikely they would have 400 million in their checking account. They'd be losing twelve million a year to inflation.
The whole deal with a debt cap on presidents would require an in depth financial analyses to determine where they stand. It's not as simple as producing credit card and bank statements.
Yes, real estate developers are famously illiquid but also he had tons of time to prepare. If he had the assets he could have sold them in advance to prepare for a judgment that he knew was going against him (because he is guilty to a level that’s almost comical)There is a vast difference between not having the money and not having the assets.

Yup saw this earlier. Htf is she not off the case now? The whole thing is ridiculous favoritism to trumpI cant find the other thread...
Anyway, the deep state strikes again to protect The Orange Menace.
Apparently, one of the things he has to provide is a full financial statement and power of attorney. I can't imagine him wanting to do either...but I don't see the court giving him a pass on either...nor looking the other way if he lies in his financial statements.They're being given the opportunity to refile with the corrections. I don't think this is going to turn into anything big.
he New York County Supreme Court document he shared read:
"The court has returned the documents listed below for the following reasons: Please include a current financial statement and Power of Attorney. Additionally, please list the name of the Attorney-in-Fact under the signature line on the Undertaking. Please use the 'Refile Document' link for Doc. No. 1707 to resubmit the corrected filing. Thank you and have a great day."
That's actually a really good point, they'll reach an impasse if he's unwilling to provide his financial data which I suspect he will since it'll likely reveal yet more financial criming. Nice hat trick from the judge.Apparently, one of the things he has to provide is a full financial statement and power of attorney.

Delay what though? The actual case is unaffected by this. Is the idea that Trump's plan is to not post the bond and then... what? It doesn't even matter if Trump becomes president again as NYS will just seize his property anyway.Why would this not be just another ploy to delay things?
"The financial statement that is missing does not seem to be Trump's. Rather, the court appears to be demanding these documents from Knight Specialty Insurance Co. to ensure that the company is sufficiently capitalized and authorized to post the bond," Rubin wrote on Wednesday.

Odds of any organization willing to bond Trump being financially squared away?It's sounding like the paperwork they want is from the bonding agency, not from King Donnie.
Donald Trump's $175m bond rejection raises questions
Everybody is dying to know what the former President's fraud monitor Barbara Jones knows about the flawed paperworkwww.newsweek.com
I mean I wouldn't put it past him to try some shenanigans but if his appeal fails there really isn't much he can do unless he's president and has like the Army invade New York or something. (not entirely implausible)I'm not sure what the what? is, but the article I read said that Trump had not actually given the bonding company ANY of the $175 million, but had put it in an account "pledged" to them. I don't know the technical conditions of an account "pledge", but I sure could envision Trump losing the appeal and the money somehow managing to magically disappear from the account.
Is Trump's $175 million civil fraud bond valid in New York?
Attorney General Letitia James gave Knight Specialty Insurance Company or former President Donald Trump 10 days to "justify the surety" of the bond.www.cbsnews.com

If the money did disappear from the account then NYS would move to enforce the judgment through property seizures and he can't transfer property out of state without the approval of the court appointed monitor.
