Donald Trump still hasn’t posted bond in his New York civil fraud trial, but his lawyer Alina Habba wants you to know that it’s definitely not because they’re having trouble getting the massive amount together.
The former president was fined $354 million for committing real estate–related fraud in New York. In order to appeal the decision, Trump must post a bond of the full amount plus interest—which has already reached nearly $467 million, with interest adding $112,000 per day.
When asked Wednesday if Trump was any closer to posting bond, Habba had a very clear answer that raised no red flags.
“Yeah, no, unfortunately I can’t speak to that. That’s privileged, and I am the attorney, one of the attorneys on that case,” Habba told Fox News, stating the obvious.
She quickly pivoted to attacking the case altogether, calling the judgment “absurd” and expressing hope that an appeals court would overturn it.
I’ll believe he’s suffered consequences when I see his kids stuffing him down an open grave.
If he dies before facing consequences, the world will still be a worse place, because he’ll have shown all the other sociopaths how to get away with it.
Would the world really be a worse place if sociopaths started dying so they could escape consequences?
He’s showing all the other assholes how to avoid getting in any meaningful trouble is bad for all of us, yes, even after the scumbag is gone. That’s why he needs to be held accountable for the insurrection and vote manipulation. So the next asshole doesn’t try it
In this case, yes. These cases have the potential to set precedents that would pave the way for future charges if someone else decides to copy him. This is what should have happened with Nixon.
Everyone knows already how to get away with it.
Be rich…
As opposed to continuing to live with no consequences other than forced to attend the occasional courtroom hearing? You or I would have been jailed instantly and forever for leading an insurrection against the United States. Everyone can see there are zero consequences.
Yeah that was my point. Him dying doesn’t have anything to do with consequences (other than having a shitty lifestyle, and forgetting to take his statins).
