Issue is appeal of outlandish $450 million fine in fraud case that had no victims
By Bob Unruh
New York Attorney General Letitia James
A court in New York, where multiple prosecutors and judges have coalesced in a series of cases in which they apparently are trying to destroy President Donald Trump and his business empire, now has refused his appeal bond in a fraud case.
That bond, of $175 million, was set by an appeals court after a lower court judge, who decided before trial that Trump was guilty of business fraud in a case where there were no losses and no victims, demanded a bond of some $450 million.
Attorney General Letitia James, who campaigned on a promise to “get” Trump without identifying anything he had done wrong, had brought the “fraud” claims to Judge Arthur Engeron, who attacked Trump several times during the testimony regarding damages after he convicted Trump before the trial.
The bond was demanded in order to allow Trump to appeal the $450 million judgment from Engoron. And that means, a lawyer explained, that James “will be able to begin enforcement proceedings on Donald Trump’s properties.”
