Hahahahahaaaa.....Who wants their President to be stuck in court all day defending themselves against FRAUD?


Trial in New York Real Estate School Suit

• Attorney General Schneiderman says Trump has no right to jury
• Trump seeking permission to take case to highest state court

Donald Trump asked that a jury of residents, from the only New York county that he didn’t win in last week’s Republican primary, decide whether he defrauded students of his namesake real-estate school.

An attorney for Trump, Jeffrey Goldman, told a state court judge during a hearing Tuesday that he intends to seek a jury trial of the lawsuit, in which New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman alleges that Trump University swindled students out of $40 million.

“We think we’ll get a fair trial before a jury,” Goldman said. “We also think we’ll get a fair trial before a judge. They don’t want to go to trial.”

If Trump wins his fight for a jury trial, the panel would come from Manhattan, or New York County -- the only county in the state he lost in the primary, according to the state’s Board of Elections.

The suit is one of at least three legal battles over the school, which has become fodder for Trump’s opponents as he fights for the nomination. Former students filed two class-action lawsuits in California.

A New York appeals court last month reinstated a fraud claim against Trump University, allowing Schneiderman to seek monetary penalties if he wins the case, including restitution for the alleged victims and disgorgement of profits.

Trump is seeking permission to challenge that decision before the state’s highest court in Albany.

Oh, this is WONDERFUL!!! YAY! Mr. Trump will be called as a witness!

Consumer Bureau

"Jane Azia, the head of Schneiderman’s Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau, said she doesn’t believe Trump has a right to a jury trial under state law. She didn’t say whether Schneiderman’s office would oppose one. The attorney general said in a statement he intends to call Trump and the school’s former president, Michael Sexton, as witnesses at trial."

Two candidates with more legal problems than they should have, fire them both, delay the election and start over...

I heard that if one was innocent a bench trial was best but if one was guilty a jury trial was best. I'd say Hair Drumpf has heard the same thing...

Hilary doesnt even have any legal problems. She is accused of having legal problems from the repubs but they still havent found any

If Trump were elected president (lol) he'd settle these in a heartbeat.

Did you have any flood damage? I read on another thread not too long ago you wrote you were in that vicinity and were asking for prayer from us.

True. Judges render their decisions on the law and those decisions must be able to stand review. Juries can be swayed by emotion and their decisions are too often based on how they feel about the case or the defendant, not the letter and intent of the law.

Trump may want to have the opportunity to snow a jury the same way he's snowed some slower members of our community.

interesting that he's asking for a jury trial. i guess they're betting that the reality show host would do better in front of a bunch of star struck jurors.

and then his attorneys will systematically try to exclude anyone who voted for Clinton from the jury pool.

it's going to be a circus. I want the popcorn concession on Centre St.
