Judge Engoron May Have Destroyed New York With His Insane Ruling

Hochul lets the cat out of the bag about how politicized New York's prosecution of Trump was; Monica Showalter - American Thinker

. . ."They can fund their entire state budget shortfalls on just by confiscating huge businesses and their assets on technical legal grounds and prosecutorial favorites and whims.

"In the end, investors will see what's going on, decide to flee to states that still have actual rule of law, and their New York properties will be sold to the communist Chinese or other unsavory players the New York ruling elites won't want to mess with, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela when Hugo Chavez started expropriating properties. When I visited Venezuela in late 2005, desperate property owners told me they had no choice but to sell their properties to avoid getting them confiscated and the only buyers for them were FARC's Marxist narcoterrorists because they were Chavista allies. Look for that same dynamic to start happening in New York as a result of this judicial travesty." . . .

‘What Fraud?' Kevin O'Leary Destroys CNN Host Over Latest Trump Verdict

. . ."O'Leary reiterated that this isn't about Trump. "I don't care about Trump in this. I care about America, and I care about entrepreneurship, and I care about democracy and the fairness. The judicial system is now being criticized. People are asking themselves — the bar of New York — is this judge rational to charge $355 million in a case where no one lost any money? Is that good for the people of New York? Should the people of New York wake up to this and say 'What's happening to us? Why is this becoming so perverse? Why are we the focus of this injustice?' [It has] nothing to do with Trump. I'm not supporting Trump, I'm supporting American entrepreneurship, and New York is slowly becoming the number one loser state in America. I'm sorry. That's what's happening." . . . 

NY A.G. on Fear Trump Ruling Will Drive Away Business: Tourism, Wall Street Are Good -- Will Seize His Assets if Needed (breitbart.com)   "During a portion of an interview with ABC News Senior Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katersky aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) responded to concerns that the fraud verdict against 2024 Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump will force businesses out of the state by stating that “tourism is up and Wall Street is doing just fine.”

"After playing a clip of James saying that if Trump can’t pay the judgment, they’ll request the seizure of his assets, Katersky said, “Trump was held liable for exaggerating his wealth and inflating the value of his real estate so banks would give him low-interest loans. Trump insisted the banks liked doing business with him.”

"He then played a clip where he asked James, “They said no victim, no one got harmed, the banks got paid back. So, no harm, no foul. Why is that not the case in your view?”

"James responded, “So, financial frauds are not victimless crimes. He engaged in this massive amount of fraud. And it wasn’t just a simple mistake, a slight oversight, the variations were wildly exaggerated, and the extent of the fraud was staggering.”. . .
