It really smells like “My cash flow is drying up and cannot fill all those obligations”. Well, he’s the one who was able to lose money with a casino, so that wouldn’t surprise me at all.
The meat:
“Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”
Only problem with that is that it’s not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.
I thought it was the state of New York, but whatever
The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.
Oh, shit! This article is about the cheap fine!?!?
Donny is in deep shit then.
(I don’t think this one is a “fine”, bit they other is and I don’t know the right words.)
The legal term for Engoron’s ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is “undertaking.” In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it’s “damages,” a large portion of which are punitive damages.
Thank you
You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even filled a boneless appeal in.
Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he’s too rich to have to secure his judgement, why’d he do that?
This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he’s a victim of it, yet he’s trying to create a tier just for himself.
He didn’t post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.
How do you hire a bounty hunter to drag someone into court who is protected by Secret Service agents?
Why are we in a reality where the above question even needs to be asked?
Not paying is very on brand for Trump.
This is deep post-truth territory.
I’m too rich to fly to the moon, so I won’t do it.
Donny doesn’t seem to understand that the opposite of ‘priceless’ isn’t ‘too rich’.
One of the few billionaires where I don’t actually believe “cmon baby I’m good for it”
According to several estimates, the guy is nowhere close to being a billionaire
I’m a Republican, I’m NOT Stupid, and I AGREE!
Your second statement is contradicted by both the first and third.
The first part sort of nullifies the second there, buddy.
