Trump Didn't Request—But Wouldn't Have Received—a Jury Trial in His Civil Fraud Trial, Judge Explains

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron explained that Trump didn't request a jury trial, but one wasn't available to him in the case.

"Donald Trump has attacked the New York State Supreme Court judge presiding over his $250 million civil fraud trial as a Democratic “politician” on a quest to financially ruin him. But the judge on Monday noted that it’s the former president's fault that the case is being tried without a jury. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron noted that “nobody asked for” a jury trial. Earlier this year, New York Attorney Letitia James filed a form with a checkmark next to the field: “Trial without a jury.” Trump’s legal team didn’t file a corresponding form, and the former president may have regretted his lawyer’s inaction ever since.

Trump lashed out against him extensively at a makeshift press conference outside the courtroom, calling for Engoron to be “investigated for what he's done is undervaluing these properties.” Trump habitually attacks the judges who rule against him, filing failed motions to recuse the judges presiding over his federal election-interference case and his hush-money prosecution in New York. Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman, now the host of the Talking Feds podcast, said that Trump’s legal team has only itself to blame for the bench trial."


If true, this may seem like a mistake by his lawyers, but since Trump has the most accomplished and expert legal team assembled in modern history, something tells me that something else is at play. First, why did the racist DA mark "trial without jury" -- what was she trying to do? why is she afraid to have this be a trial by jury?

Could this be a brilliant move by Trump's lawyers to expose the racist DA and radical leftist judge? By this being a trial by judge, this makes it easier for Trump to file an appeal based on the radical leftist agenda of the judge and a racist DA - both who are woking in a conspiracy against Trump - under the command of Soros and Biden...I mean, Trump would have claimed this whether it is a jury trial or not, but it sounds better to believe this was part of Trump's 4D chess strategy than to believe he hired incompetent attorneys. Since he only hires the best people, obviously.

This isn't a trial. This is a motion for summary judgment. No jury. That's not the red flag. The red flag is that the judge is making his own assessment of the value of the property without his being an expert in property valuation. Second red flag is that he refused to allow any appraisals or valuations into evidence.

Thank Odin that did not actually happen

The judge’s “valuation” of Mar a Lago, alone, shows that the judge isn’t up to the task.

The values expressed in the judgement are values valuated by Trump.

The Judge apparently made it up on his own. The DA didn't bother to have an appraiser report on the past value.

But according to our liberals, “there’s nothing to see here. Move along,”

Meaning nothing. There were appraisals made by the lenders. No financial institution is going to lend on seller's evaluation.

"Apparently" sounds like you need to show a link.

Horseshit. There is zero evidence that Trump valued Mar a Lago at $12.5 million.

The county assessor puts the lot value at 27 million. That's minus the structures. When Trump bought the property he also purchased a number of valuable antiques. No mention of these assets even though they would have been included for lending purposes.

No, the assessor (not the judge) valued it at bt 18 and 27 million. Mar a lago agreed with that evaluation for tax purposes.

That same year, trump himself valued it at 490 million on bank documents.

Lol, what high value antiques is the right wing media claiming came with mar a Lago?

Assessor valuations are of zero import for purposes of actual value.

There is no chance that the judge wasn’t aware of the fact that a county assessor “valuation” is not a valid basis for determining actual value. Tax assessment valuations are predicated on many factors; and are just for tax purposes.

But for the judge to claim that the big difference in valuations constitutes any evidence of fraud is absolutely ridiculous. It’s absurd. And it shows the judge’s bias.

I think it is far more likely that when you hire a lawyer based on the size of her boobs they will do stupid things like this.
