Below is my column in Fox.com on the New York opinion tossing out the grotesque half-billion-dollar fine imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron. Despite the support of many lawyers and pundits, Engoron could not get a single judge to agree with him on the fine.
Here is the column:
In New York, a court revealed that a leading citizen had cooked the books by inflating questionable figures without any support in reality. Moreover, his wild overvaluation was widely viewed as motivated by his self-aggrandizement. The final reported figures are so absurdly inflated that they were rejected in their entirety. In the end, he was off by over half a billion dollars.
That man is Judge Arthur Engoron.
After a New York appellate court unanimously threw out Engoron’s absurd half-a-billion-dollar judgment and interest against President Donald Trump, the irony was crushing. It was Engoron who seemed, as he characterized Trump witnesses, as having “simply denied reality.” It made his notorious reliance on an assessment of Mar-a-Lago as worth between $18 million and $27.6 million seem like good accounting.
In the end, he could not get a single judge to preserve a single dollar of that fine.
For some of us who covered that trial, the most vivid image of Engoron came at the start. He indicated that he did not want cameras in the courtroom, but when the networks showed up, Engoron took off his glasses and seemed to pose for the cameras.
It was a “Sunset Boulevard” moment. We only need Gloria Swanson looking into the camera to speak to “those wonderful people out there in the dark!” and announcing “all right, [Ms. James], I’m ready for my close-up.”
The close-up was not a good idea, and, on appeal, it was perfectly disastrous. The court found little legal or factual basis for his fine. The purported witnesses not only did not lose a dime, but they testified that they made money on the loans and wanted new loans with the Trump administration. That did not move Engoron. From the start, he was speaking to those “wonderful people out there.”
You did not have to go far. In both the civil and criminal trials of Trump in New York, there was a carnival atmosphere in the street outside the courthouse. It was really not derangement as much as delirium. Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James had injected lawfare directly into the veins of New Yorkers. Pledging in her campaign to bag Trump (without bothering to name any crime or violation), James was elected based on her recreational rather than legal appeal.
Yet, James could not have succeeded if she had not had a judge willing to ignore reality and cook the books on the fines. She needed a partner in lawfare. She needed Engoron.
Even for some anti-Trump commentators, the judgment was impossible to defend and some acknowledged that they had never seen any case like this one brought in New York.
Judge David Friedman gave Engoron a close-up that would have made Swanson wince. He detailed how the underlying law “has never been used in the way it is being used in this case – namely, to attack successful, private, commercial transactions, negotiated at arm’s length between highly sophisticated parties fully capable of monitoring and defending their own interests.”
He accused Engoron of participating in an effort clearly directed by James as “ending with the derailment of President Trump’s political career and the destruction of his real estate business.”
Other judges said that Engoron’s fine was so off base and engorged that it was an unconstitutional order under the Eighth Amendment, protecting citizens from “cruel and unusual” punishments. So, Engoron not only inflated the figures but shredded the Constitution in his effort to deliver a blow against Trump.
Trump can now appeal the residual parts of the Engoron decision imposing limits on the Trump family doing business in New York. Some of those limits could be moot by the time of any final judgment. Ironically, if Engoron had shown a modicum of restraint, he might have secured a victory. During the trial in New York, I said that he would have been smart to impose a dollar fine and limited injunctive relief. That, however, required a modicum of judicial restraint and judgment.
Instead, Engoron chose to walk down the stairway into infamy. He was off by half a billion dollars, which could put him in the Bernie Madoff class of judges.
In other words, if he wanted to be remembered on that first day, Arthur Engoron succeeded.
I’m starting to think that all of our trolls here might be just a tad unstable psychologically.
In what experts are calling one of the most remarkable comebacks for a convicted sex offender in recent memory, on Friday Donald J. Trump announced that he was replacing Attorney General Pam Bondi with Ghislaine Maxwell.
Explaining his decision, Trump said, “Pam said there’s a client list, and Ghislaine said there isn’t. So I have decided Ghislaine would be better at this job than Pam.”
In another stunning reversal of fortune, Trump announced that Bondi would be taking Maxwell’s place in prison, adding, “I wish her well.”
He said he was confident that Maxwell would receive speedy confirmation by Senate Republicans, noting, “If they confirmed Hegseth they’ll confirm anyone.”
Matt Gaetz is hopping mad–his resume is a match for Ghislaine’s!
Gigi, what about you not sharing your “gems” anymore? We were so excited that you might have decided to spaz out somewhere else every freaking day.
Gigi, didn’t you get the memo? Epstein is over, nobody cares anymore. Trump’s numbers are fine. You failed again. You can move on to the next talking point now.
Hey Gigi, how do you feel about seeing Big Tish’s stupid case fall apart at the first appeals court that it ran into? Hey, even you can pay the fine now!
This is a legal blog – not a political fantasy and creative writing blog.
John Say the Stupid
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Everything you post here is incoherent, babbling, nonsensical fantasy.
John Say the Stupid
BTW, as a libertarian who believes that the government is incapable of doing anything good for business or the people, how do you feel about the government taking 10% ownership of Intel.
Sounds an awful lot like socialism to me.
I guess we can look forward to the eventual collapse of Intel, since the government ruins everything it touches.
I eagerly await your twisted, irrational, incoherent, rambling explanation of why this is a very good thing.
I know you won’t disappoint me.
Please cite the Constitution for any power to regulate Intel or otherwise participate in its, or any other, free enterprise and free market activities, which Karl Marx described pejoratively as “capitalism.”
Ah, you cannot, you say.
Precisely.
I will keep my pearls to myself, for my own benefit, rather than cast them to the ungrateful swine that inhabit this blog.
I agree.
The MAGA morons that infest this godforsaken hell- site are not worth engaging in any any way, shape or form.
We should just abstain from posting here.
Thank you.
You won’t be missed.
Aww, Gigi is just all butt hurt because Big Tish’s stupid case fell to pieces at the first appeals court.
“The MAGA morons that infest this godforsaken hell- site are not worth engaging in any any way, shape or form.”
And yet, you persist.
“I will keep my pearls to myself, for my own benefit, rather than cast them to the ungrateful swine that inhabit this blog.”
¡Hasta luego!
Thank You, Prof. Turley for an Outstanding Review…. Judge Enmoron’s complicity in the Abuse of the Justice System was so screaming-from-the-rooftops Obvious.. yet Thank God for some Honest Appellate Judges………………
I hope for the sake of our red anonymous here that she gets some help before she strokes out on her Trump hatred.
Never forget that in Article 0.1, Section 0.1, Clause 0.1, the American Revolutionaries, Founders, and Framers mandated that any and all actual Americans, immediately and with extreme prejudice, gift, transfer, devise, bequeath, and give their country, in its entirety, away to any and all antithetical, anti-Constitutional, anti-American communists, and various and sundry unpatriotic and unassimilable non-American foreigners.
Alternatively, they wrote, evidently and unequivocally, in the Preamble to their Constitution:
“We the People of the United States…secure the Blessings of Liberty TO OURSELVES and OUR POSTERITY…”
with the full hope and expectation that THEY and THEIR POSTERITY would strictly adhere to and defend the “manifest tenor” of THEIR Constitution invariably and in perpetuity.
Little did they know that their posterity would turn out to be a bunch of selfish, inconsiderate, cruel, unfair, entitled douche bags.
“Little did they know that their posterity would turn out to be a bunch of selfish, inconsiderate, cruel, unfair, entitled douche bags.”
But enough about our leftists.
Wonderful.
And what then is the attraction for all the world’s parasites to come and claim their fair share of American “free stuff” and “free status” if not the prosperity engendered by themselves and their posterity?
Here’s a real good example of MAGA media spin. The headline for this piece claims that Turley said John Bolton “is in real trouble” and could face decades in prison. Here’s what Turley actually said:
“FOX NEWS HOST: He’s been accused of using classified information in his book he wrote in 2020. Do you know what was in the book, what classified information he wasn’t supposed to share?
JONATHAN TURLEY: These are longstanding allegations that the book indicated or referenced classified material he may have acquired when he was in the administration. We are not clear what it is, but it could be national defense information.
That is important because that creates a heightened potential penalty. You can have penalties that range from 5-20 years. 20 years is the consensus for concealing information, obstructing justice. Simply having classified information can weigh in at about 10 years, and there are often multiple counts because each of those documents can be charged separately.
There is a strange history here. You had allegations coming out as early as the first Trump administration and then there was an allegationthat the Biden administration scuttled further look at this case, and now we have this new development.
We really don’t know if there is something that has occurred most recently, whether they uncovered something they believe is sort of evergreen — that this is a viable criminal case.”
Let’s parce the actual language used in the piece–shall we?:
Bolton “has been accused”
“these are longstanding allegations”
“he MAY HAVE acquired” classified information
“we are not clear what it is”
“it could be national defense information”
“you had allegations coming out as early as the first Trump adminsistration and then there was an allegation that the Biden administration scuttled further look”
“we really don’t know if there is something that has occurred most recently, whether they uncovered something they believe is sort of evergreen–that this is a viable criminal case”
Now WHERE in any of this exchange is there anything resembling a factual basis for a headline that declaress that John Bolton “IS IN REAL TROUBLE”? This is the kind of MAGA media fodder that is shameful. A real journalist would NOT claim that Bolton is in real trouble based on accusations, allegations, “may haves”, or “could bes”–and Turley didn’t actually say that, either. But, the purpose of MAGA media is proselytization–not factually-accurate reporting. The real story here is that Trump is making good on his threat to get retribution against people who say things he doesn’t like, using our DOJ and FBI–AND that’s wrong. The other aspect of this story is that Trump is creating a diversion away from the Epstein Scandal and his failures at negotiation between Ukraine and Russia.
MAGA MAGA MAGA all over again. Seriously, and I mean this most sincerely, have you contacted a psychiatrist yet? You desperately need psychiatric help, even if you don’t realize it yet.
..yet another paid ‘anonymous’ terrosist trolling this privately offered site for worthwhile debate… more moronic cooties from their Trump Derangement Syndrome (‘TDS’).. Disgusting and Pathetic..
Maybe some insiders ‘know’ that Bolton is, in fact, in real trouble?
Don’t bother trying to reason with the obviously insane. Treat this person like the crazy homeless guy who lives in the park and rants about the lizard people taking over the planet.
Is Turley one of those “insiders”? If so, why didn’t he say something like “well, I have insider information, and Bolton better pack his toothbrush because he’s going to jail for a long time.” Or, did they take Turley’s carefully-worded hedge wording and imply that it is factual? I say it’s the latter.
Have you contacted psychiatric help yet? Honestly, you need to. What you do here is not sane or normal, and you’re hurting yourself mentally.
“Everybody just ought to calm down, whether you’re pro-Trump or anti-Trump, and let the process work its way through,”
~John Bolton, on the Mar-a-Lago FBI raid, August 2022.
..this moronic terrorist troll must get paid by the word for their TDS germs… deep state deep pockets……….
The feds could have come pre-dawn, and dragged Bolton out in front of his house to stand there in his boxer shorts.
But they didn’t.
The feds showed up after 7am and spared Bolton that embarrassment.
Bolton was not even home at time of raid.
If you think Bolton and his lawyers did not know this was coming, then you”re a fool.
What is your definition of Real Trouble ?
i think it is highly likely Bolton will be prosecuted.
I think there will be a deal and he will get a slap on the wrist.
Look at the past history of similar classified information cases at Bolton’s level.
No you do not need “insider” information – A judge already warned Bolton that he could publish without a NS review by the govenrment, but that if he did he would likely be prosecuted.
“I think there will be a deal and he will get a slap on the wrist.”
Not this time. Bolton is going down.
Here’s a clue: Notice that today is probably the first and only time we have ever seen President Trump IN THE OVAL OFFICE without a tie. VP Vance had no tie. And the World Cup guy, Gianni had no tie either.
Trump is a stickler for these things. Always a suit and tie required to be worn the Oval for Trump and his people.
Why did none of them wear a tie today?
It’s a signal.
“Mike Davis, a Trump confidant very much in the know, reacts to the Bolton raid: “My prediction? Democrats, RINOS and reporters, who think this raid on John Bolton is about his book,” @mrddmia tells RCP, “will be very embarrassed when the search warrant becomes public.”
Oh come on, why would I listen to some named, reputable person when I could go with the rantings and ravings of an anonymous lunatic on the internet?
The raid is obviously not about the book.
The FBI had to persuade a judge that classified information was likely to be found in Bolton’s home.
They needed no warrant to prosecute for classified information in the book.
Wait. Allow me time to parse and assimilate this fodder.
hey man, I’m sorry that happened to you, or good for you things worked out, anyway, I’m not reading all that.
It should only be read by a licensed therapist.
..can’t get past the 1st 2 or 3 words of this paid ‘anonymous’ terrosist trolling this privately offered site for worthwhile debate… spewing their moronic cooties from their Trump Derangement Syndrome (‘TDS’).. Disgusting.
“Now WHERE in any of this exchange is there anything resembling a factual basis for a headline that declaress that John Bolton “IS IN REAL TROUBLE”? ”
Within all the things you listed.
You correctly note that these are ACCUSATIONS – not “proof”.
That said they are accusations with sufficient evidence to get a search warrant.
I have zero problems with prosecuting FBI agents who lie to get warrants – and subjecting them to more than the slap on the Wrists that Klinesmith got for a mess that tore the nation apart.
But there is a giant leap from – the FBI has on occasion lied to get a warrant – especially when those occasions are all political and all targeted the right not the left,
and the warrant to search Bolton was obtained through deceit.
Whether you like it or not – just as Bolton has a presumption of innocence – the FBI agents are also presumed to have told the truth in their warrant application – which si precisely why when they don’t they should get far more than the slap on the wrist klinesmith got.
I would further note that the Trump administration sued to prevent Bolton from publishing his book – because it could contain classified information, and because Bolton had refused to subject the book to the CIA clearance review that everyone who gets a security clearance agrees to.
The court CORRECTLY allowed Bolton to publish – prior retraint of free speech violates the first amendment in the US.
But the Judge warned Bolton that it appeared likely his book contained classified information and that allowing him to publish did NOT protect him from being prosecuted for publishing classified information.
I suspect that Bolton is in REAL TROUBLE. At the same time, I also suspect that while he will likely be charged, that a deal will be worked out, he will plead guilty and he will get a slap on the wrist.
That is nearly always what happens at Bolton’s level – see John Deutch, Sandy Berger, Gen. Petraus, Hillary Clinton.
Now if Bolton was an NCO in the navy and took a picture of the inside of his nuclear sub – he would spend years in Leavenworth for a much lessor offense.
I would also bet that the “Classified information” that Bolton published is inconsequential – likely something we all could have guessed or even knew from other sources.
The government classifies WAY too much – that was true in the clinton case, the Biden case, and the trump case.
It is highly unlikely that anything leaked in any of these cases no matter how highly classified did any actual harm to US national security.
Regardless, if prosecuted – Bolton will get the oportunity to present evidence that the classified information in his book was publicly available from other sources.
There is a line in a Clancy novel from decades ago that there is almost nothing classified at the intelligence community level that you can not find on CNN. The difference is that CNN is dealing with public rumor speculation and analysis to reach its conclusions. While we HOPE that when the CIA gathers information its sources are far less speculative.
Regardless the information is not different. What is HOPEFULLY different is the quality of the SOURCE.
If you wish to claim – we shoudl classify FAR LESS information – I would completely agree.
it is far too easy to weaponize the classification process against political enemies and very very little that is classifed is actually unknown to the public and consequential.
We have been trying to fix over classification for 40+ years.
But that is a tangent with respect to Bolton.
These are not “may haves” or “could bes”.
The standard for a warrant is probable cause – that is MORE than May have or could be.
The “Epstein Scandal” is that Trump promised to make the Epstein files public – something that is beyond the power of even the president, and several democratic judges have properly thwarted that.
If you wish to make this political – it is democratic judges that are preventing the epstein information from being made public.
It IS however being provided to congress – and representatives and staff from both parties have access to it.
We would all like to know what is in the epstein files.
That does not change the FACT that grand jury information AND the records of an investigation that does not lead to prosecution are confidential and can not be made public. Government may not investigate people – violate their 5th amendment rights, choose not to prosecute and dump everthing on the public.
Government must speak through prosecutions in the court.
I know in this era of constant left wing nut leaks and false claims that is hard for you to grasp but it is true.
What guardrails, precedents, and protocols were plowed under?
Why don’t you read anything about the decision before you pop off? Does everyone always have to do your work for you?
apparently, Art. VII, Section 2 of the Constitution which clearly states that “no arrest warrant shall be issued, nor shall any search be conducted, on any citizen whose sole source of relevance is attacking Orange Presidents.”
I am not sure it is possible but I do believe that Trump could bring a civil rights law suit against James and if possible I think Engoron should also be a defendant as he so far exceeded his judicial mandate as to be a co-consirator in the civil rights violation. Judges are supposed to protect defendants from the overreach of the governmment. He did not and at minimum should be removed from the bench!!!
Rabble:
And they have plenty of ammunition for that.
I really want to see the insufferable “CNN contributor” Andrew McCabe get prosecuted and actually get sent to prison for all of his lying, leaking, falsifying, and weaponizing….alongside his well known partners in crime. LOCK THEM ALL UP ALREADY and start with Letitia James.
Subversion of, conspiracy against, levying “war” against, adhering to the enemies of, subversion of, conspiracy against, et al., the duly elected president and government of the United States; I’m thinking that “high treason,” as described in English history, entertains the severest of penalties, that is Drawing and Quartering.
I always wondered about these “favorable terms” Trump got on his loan. Maybe it’s lost on me, but during the era of cheap money, what could that mean. Did he get 2% instead of 2.25% APR? Did he get TWO free toasters for signing up for the loan?
Being a white male, Trump is expected to pay higher than the going rates to atone for the evil of his race and sex. Duh.
I beleive he got a 3% loan – not that much better than the rest of us, at that time. Further he was required to provide a persona guarantee – not just colateral. Contra representations Duetche Bank did their due dilligence.
Wow! How amazing is the MAGA media spin machine–everyone other than Trump just HAS to be wrong. Just a few days ago, Turley tried to argue that Trump wasn’t in the wrong for lying on his loan application because the bank didn’t actually lose any money and would do business with him again, and for these reasons, Judge Engoron’s judgment should be tossed. Turley also attacked the NY State appellate court for taking so long to rule on the appeal. Turley’s arguments did NOT fly with the NY Appellate Courts, however–all they did was REVERSE the fine–they did NOT overturn the ruling that Trump engaged in fraud or the other penalties. Trump was absolutely NOT vindicated. Per KONSYSE:
“Although the monetary judgment was overturned, the appeals court upheld significant restrictions on the business activities of Trump in New York. The ruling preserved a 3-year ban preventing Trump from serving as an officer or director of any corporation in the state. Similar restrictions of two years were maintained against Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
The court also preserved financial restrictions. Trump and his corporate entities remain barred for 3 years from getting loans from New York chartered financial institutions. The Trump Organization will continue operating under the oversight of an independent monitor and must appoint an independent director of compliance, ensuring stricter corporate governance.
A divided five-judge panel issued the ruling via a more-than-300-page set of opinions. Presiding Justice Dianne Renwick and Justice Troy Webber Moulton affirmed liability for persistent fraud under New York Executive Law Section 63(12) but held the monetary penalty unconstitutional. Other justices expressed differing views regarding retrials or outright dismissal.”
It’s truly disappointing that Turley criticizes Judge Engoron when the facts of his ruling were affirmed–the Court said there was not enough evidence to justify the penalty–that’s all. Overall, it’s a loss for Trump.
Hahahaha, back for more, eh? You made such a fool out of yourself yesterday, it was a sight to behold. Thanks for the entertainment!
Rant rant rant. MAGA MAGA MAGA. Have you tried talking to a psychiatrist yet? This comment section isn’t a substitute for the mental health help that you so obviously and desperately need.
I don’t get it, the maga spin machine is … talking about the thing that happened? TL;DR because lunatics who start their diatribes that way kind of poison the well but also basically self-identify their scribblings that aren’t meant to be read or taken seriously.
You heard what Justice Ketanji Jackson wrote about Trump’s team in her usual snide tone: They ‘always win’ in court.
Why do they win on the merits, Ketanji?
Because they are following the law and they are on the ‘right’ side of every issue. That’s why.
Trump did not “lie” on his loan application, in the large body of paperwork he provided seeking a loan he provided an estimate of the the value of his properties – one that included a disclaimer requiring the Bank to do their own appraisal which banks ALWAYS do – and in NYS are likely required by law.
If you have ever applied for a loan you were REQUIRED to do the same thing.
Trumps estimates of value – contra James and enmoron were fairly accurate.
MAL was valued at 50M in 1980 long BEFORE Trump bought it. Enmorons 18-27M estimate was idiotically stupid.
If you wish to call Trumps estimates of values lies for which he can be punished – can we also punish James and enmoron for ludicrously stupid value estimates ?
Regardless it is litterally impossible to lie when estimating the value of ANYTHING.
Value is subjective – that is a fundimental LAW of economics.
The only correct price for anything is the price that a buyer and sellor agree to and that is only correct at the moment of sale.
You are litterally arguing that everyone who posts something on facebook marketplace that lists a price you think is too high is a liar and a criminal.
You can not EVER lie about the price of anything, What you can do as price something such that no one will buy it.
Before you make idiotic moral (and legal) claims do a bit of critical thinking.
The apellate court HAD to kill this decision – letting it stand would create a disasterous precident that would make business impossible in NYS.
Next – Had Trump ACTUALLY lied – that is NOT a crime, it is NOT a tort, it is not even the foundation for a lawsuit.
We have a long long long list of people who lied about the Collusion delusion.
It is unlikely any are going to jail, Most will not face any consequences at all.
Lying is not a crime and it is not illegal. One of the many reasons for that is because what constitutes a lie is highly subjective.
Can you read? Turley criticized Engoron for being off by a half a billion dollars.
The rest of the case will be dismissed on further appeal.
No Gigi – the rest of the judgement has NOT been preserved.
The court ruled 5-0 that the financial judgement was unconstitutional.
But they ruled 3-2 that Judge Enmoron made numberous judicial errors that require a new trial.
Further they continued the injunction preventing the enforcement of the other provisions of Enmoron’s judgement for the pendancy of appeals.
If the NY top court affirms this judgement – this case is over. But both James and Trump are likely to appeal.
Trump correctly wants the whole thing tossed. James wants the financial judgement reinstated.
The likelyhood is that Trump will do much better than James with NYS top court.
This case and the Merchan case are total complete disasters for the State of NY. They have already lost Billions in tax revenue.
No ALL Businesses and wealthy people will not flee NYS. But some have and more will.
DE the state where more than half of businesses in the country incorporate has seen Trillions of dollars in buisnesses leave DE for other states over the idiotic anti-Musk faux shareholders lawsuit.
Businesses and the wealthy can move easily. And they do.
Enmoron’s other judgements against Trump are meaningless. The Trump family will move their businesses out of NYS. Just as Mar-A-Lago is currently under NYS jurisdiction because Trump enterprises are based in NYS,
Trump’s properites in NYS will be REMOVED from NYS jurisdiction if Trump Enterprises reincorporates outside of NYS. Do you really think that if Tesla can not move a 1T business from Delaware elsewhere that Trump can not move a 20B enterprise somewhere less hostile.
And do you think that – whether they are lefties or righties that the uber wealthy in NY are not watching and that their lawyers are not telling them – GET OUT OF NYS ?
” affirmed liability for persistent fraud under New York Executive Law Section 63(12) but held the monetary penalty unconstitutional”
Trump’s “crime” was nothing more than putting a payment in the wrong column of his private books. For that, New York dusted off Executive Law §63(12), a statute so nebulous it can brand almost any slip as “fraud.” Even then, the penalty was struck down as unconstitutional. If anything, the fine should have been $1, just to show how silly the law was and show Gigi for what she is.
Decades ago, I was stopped for jaywalking (with dozens of others) where signs clearly said No Jaywalking. Silly, yes, but at least the rule was posted. With Trump, there was no sign, no victim, just a bookkeeping entry turned into a felony.
Friedman also made interesting points about the nature of evidence, particularly that Trump’s underlying valuation of his assets never dipped below $2Bn during the loan process, and that number was more than enough to satisfy the particulars of the loans in question. That means, regardless of whether any particular property was over-valued, the basis for the loans was never in question.
Also, interesting to learn that the throw away line about Mar-a-Lago having restrictive covenants on it would have no diminishment of its value as any owner could still live there.
Friedman also seems to understand it that maybe the decision says the opposite of what it stands for, most of the judges did find the liability determination wrong. That it’s still on the books as being upheld (who knows) is a legal blackmark against NY just like that silly judge in Delaware cost her state its reputation as a corporate registration center, all to get Elon.
What a disgrace to the judiciary is Engoron! So afflicted with TDS, he willingly participated in the scheme engineered by NY’s disgraceful “attorney” general … and, so, goes DOWN in history as a highly politicized trial judge. He not only failed to do his job of running an impartial courtroom and rendering impartial decisions, he is a lesson in how to achieve a result that reflects a judge’s personal views. So say 5 members of the NY appellate court!!
And so far they have gotten away with it.
Slammer for Da Judge, his daughter and Latisha, and her dog.
well, yeah, think about it. Ideally, for them, Trump would be poor and in jail right now, looking at hundreds of years of consecutive sentences from DC, GA, to NY.
And the only reason this isn’t so is because the left can’t govern or meme. If Biden didn’t let Afghanistan turn into a worldwide televised clusterfffk and if they kept their hands out of the cookie jar and didn’t double the cost of bacon, then maybe Biden gets a second term. Maybe the GOP nominates the softest squish possible in 2024.
But they’re crazy and incompetent as well as evil.
It would prove interesting if it was found that the judge had intimate contacts with the Autopen White House.
I don’t know, but nothing, however outrageous, would surprise me about these people.
We, or more accurately Trump, has endured a sort of judicial Pearl Harbor followed by a Phillipine Death March. But he is strong enough to survive and bring justice to his corrupt enemies.
Do you really not understand that given your profound retardation you are the very last person who should be attacking anybody regarding their intelligence? Oh wait, now it makes sense.
Then use your real name, Einstine.
Gloria kinda looks like creepy Judge E!

I see that some of the trolls here have moved on to the bargaining stage of their grief over the death of this stupid case. Maybe they’ll hit the depression stage by the end of the day.
“After a New York appellate court unanimously threw out Engoron’s absurd half-a-billion-dollar judgment and interest against President Donald Trump, the irony was crushing.”
