• NY appeals court slaps Judge Engoron hard

    "In New York, a court revealed that a leading citizen had cooked the
    books by inflating questionable figures without any support in
    reality. Moreover, his wild overvaluation was widely viewed as
    motivated by his self-aggrandizement. The final reported figures are
    so absurdly inflated that they were rejected in their entirety. In the
    end, he was off by over half a billion dollars.

    That man is Judge Arthur Engoron.

    After a New York appellate court unanimously threw out Engoron's
    absurd half-a-billion-dollar judgment and interest against President
    Donald Trump, the irony was crushing. It was Engoron who seemed, as he characterized Trump witnesses, as having "simply denied reality." It
    made his notorious reliance on an assessment of Mar-a-Lago as worth
    between $18 million and $27.6 million seem like good accounting.

    In the end, he could not get a single judge to preserve a single
    dollar of that fine.

    ....


    Other judges said that Engoron's fine was so off-base and engorged
    that it was an unconstitutional order under the Eighth Amendment,
    protecting citizens from "cruel and unusual" punishments. So, Engoron
    not only inflated the figures but shredded the Constitution in his
    effort to deliver a blow against Trump.

    Trump can now appeal the residual parts of the Engoron decision
    imposing limits on the Trump family doing business in New York. Some
    of those limits could be moot by the time of any final judgment.
    Ironically, if Engoron had shown a modicum of restraint, he might have
    secured a victory. During the trial in New York, I said that he would
    have been smart to impose a dollar fine and limited injunctive relief.
    That, however, required a modicum of judicial restraint and judgment.

    Lawfair at its ugliest soundly defeated.

    Not as hard as Trump will be bitch slapped once he's out.

    Do you foolishly believe that what Trump's doing now will not go unpunished?

    He's going to regret the day his whore of a mother dumped him out of her
    cunt. He hasn't stopped crying.


    You will be silenced as well, along with all who are of your disgusting kind.

    Didn't expect that they would because it's New York. That will get
    addressed in future appeals.

    No contradiction at all. The award was SO outrageous that even a
    liberal New York appeals court couldn't not toss it. The verdict
    itself falls within their level of "acceptable" corruption. Look for
    that to be overturned in another court at some point.

    The banks who lent him money at rates that they might not have if they'd

    And before you go on and on about how they weren't injured in the end,
    let me ask you:

    If I take your car while you're asleep, use it for my purposes, and
    return it with a full tank of gas...

    ...is that alright with you?

    And I was using "charged" in the generic sense. I know it was a civil
    trial, doofus.

    Which YOU said was the reason the verdict wasn't overturned...

    ...so why the contradiction?

    No contradiction at all. The award was SO outrageous that even a

    Riiiiiiiiight.

    How about, Trump did the things with which he was charged, which was
    proven beyond a reasonable doubt?

    Tell us who the victim was. Oh, and it was a civil trial not a
    criminal trial where the standard is much lower. If you can't get the
    basics correct, how am I supposed to take anything you write

    The banks made money and did not and have not complained.

    What's you're next guess?


    And before you go on and on about how they weren't injured in the end,
    let me ask you:

    If I take your car while you're asleep, use it for my purposes, and
    return it with a full tank of gas...

    ...is that alright with you?

    Your comparison is bizarre and invalid. To correct it, if you did
    that and the state asked me if I wanted to complain and said no, then
    it must have been ok with you. Of course you wouldn't have filled it
    up and blamed me because the gas is low...



    And I was using "charged" in the generic sense. I know it was a civil >>trial, doofus.

    And Alan is silent

    The banks who lent him money at rates that they might not have if
    they'd known the true value of his assets.

    Incorrect. The banks involved were not harmed and were satisfied
    with their business dealings. Specifically, they made significant
    profits from their transactions with Trump, and there were no
    defaults, breaches, or complaints from the lenders. The banks
    conducted their own due diligence and would have qualified him for
    loans regardless of the financial statements provided and the terms
    or pricing of the loans would not have differed. The judge
    acknowledged all that and his reasoning went more to the harm that
    might come to future borrowers.

    They were harmed because they offered terms they wouldn't have
    offered if they thought the risk was greater.


    And before you go on and on about how they weren't injured in the
    end, let me ask you:

    If I take your car while you're asleep, use it for my purposes, and
    return it with a full tank of gas...

    Faulty premise that has no bearing, or similarity, to the Trump case.

    How so? How were you "harmed"?

    ...is that alright with you?

    And I was using "charged" in the generic sense. I know it was a
    civil trial, doofus.



    The banks did their own due diligence and were fine with what they
    found. It changed nothing.

    You've avoided the question.

    Yes, I did avoid it. Because it's a nonsensical stupid irrelevant
    hypothetical.
    How are you harmed if I take your car (let's say I've cloned access via
    the car's app) and drive it and return it undamaged and with the same
    amount of gas in the tank.

    What's changed?
