Trump and company’s NY Civil case penalty struck down

[Delldude]

But apparently the penalty for that is, well, nothing.

Indictments in process?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

What an epic waste of time and resources

 

[Independent thinker]

It was a disgusting case. It was a disgusting judge involved.

And now, a victory for Trump.

​

A New York appeals court has completely thrown out the outrageous $364 million civil fraud penalty imposed by partisan Judge Arthur Engoron against President Donald Trump.​

​

...​

​

In a decisive opinion, Judges Dianne T. Renwick and Peter H. Moulton declared the massive disgorgement order—essentially forcing Trump to cough up nearly half a billion dollars in "ill-gotten gains"—unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits excessive fines. While the court acknowledged that some injunctive measures to reform the Trump Organization's business practices were warranted, the financial hammer was way over the top.​

​

This reversal came after oral arguments nearly 11 months ago, an unusually long wait that underscores the complexity and the stakes involved.

Massive Victory for President Trump: New York Appeals Court Tosses Out Bogus $364 Million Fraud Verdict

This isn't shocking because the original verdict was outrageous prima facie.

It should have never been decided that way in the first place but anything can happen in New York. Even the appeals court realized it was all nonsense and weaponization. The judge should be impeached.

He broke no laws as anyone with a basic understanding of what CIVIL FRAUD means knew all along. This was a monumental waste of time and taxpayer money and a total abuse of power by a State Attorney General.

This Moonglow dude is a total partisan hack and a MORON.

Republicans with Trump are learning the progressive game. There may be still time for the Progressives to take a step ack and stop this craziness before the Republicans join in and act like you do. You prove yourselves winning a lot due to subterfuge. And that is just the start.

Reading comprehension not your forte I see.

Since there's no indictment, there isn't one in process.

This Fox article shares one of the presiding judge's opinion (vote was 5-0) and each of you should read it before spewing shit from your mouths. There may be a fine, but not anywhere near the original amount.

Since there's no indictment, there isn't one in process.

A senior law enforcement official said a grand jury seated in the Eastern District of Virginia will investigate the James mortgage fraud allegations and a grand jury in Maryland will investigate the allegations against Schiff.

Martin met Friday morning with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who sent a criminal referral for the California senator to the Justice Department in May, the administration officials said. Pulte sent a referral for James in April, prompting the Justice Department to open an investigation into allegations that she made false statements on mortgage loan applications.

It just shows you how bad the entire case was when even a NY court of raging progs couldn't justify it without looking like total idiots.

The Appellate court upheld the decision. They just reversed the $$$.

Sure. But apparently the penalty for that is, well, nothing.

We'll have to let the judge decide, but I think a fine of about $432,000,000 seems fair.

So you said indictment but you actually meant grand jury.

Did you get it wrong because of dementia or did you lie?

 

[WorldWatcher]

The NY appeals court is the highest court in NY. try understanding things before you post them.

The NY Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is not the Highest Court in New York, that is the NY Appeals Court.

This was the intermediary appeals court, not the highest.
