New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.
It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.
(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about”

Many electorate sheep, Baa Baa, thought she would be "better" than the Nursing Home Murderer/Sexual Harasser/Liar that left office in a complete disgrace. She's just as bad, maybe even worse.

I thought justice was supposed to be blind. The corrupt Governor of New York now reveals that justice will be applied unequally based on if you are viewed as a political enemy of the ruling party. Are there any judges in New York that are willing to speak out against this, or are they too afraid that they will be taken down by the same tyrants ?

Many Dims don't care about this or fixed elections as long as their candidate wins. This sums up what is wrong with the country.

isn't that attainder? Creating a law to target a person?

Heck, NY State actually passed a law which allowed E. Jean Crackpot to file a sexual harrassment/rape/whatever-she-claimed/hurt-feelings lawsuit against Trump. And the idjit jury awarded her $83 million and change.
I'd like to think that some court, somewhere, will say, we've had enough of this. But I'm not sure that court exists in this country (including CJ Roberts' SCOTUS). We may win a couple battles, but the other side keeps changing the rules of the war.
And yes, a bill of attainder (directed at a specific person) is unconstitutional. See note above about the possibility of any "remedy."
A good lawyer friend of mine (sadly, a liberal Democrat, although he's my friend) complains that many of the judges that he runs across are basically lawyers who couldn't cut it in private practice but had the political inclinations to get appointed or elected to the bench. In his area of practice, judges ask him for the interpretation of the law. He complains that it used to be that you worked as a lawyer in private practice for a number of years and then, perhaps near retirement time, took that wisdom and became a judge.
Those days are over.

That's admitting they broke the law. The principle of equal justice was not adhered to. This is a tyrannical overreach and abuse of power.
Trump can Roast them slowly, now.

To whom is the money paid since there are no victims? Who was aggrieved? No One! Does New York City or State get the money? If that's the case, it is then confiscation of a private party's money. It's called robbery. It's galling that this stupid woman who pretends to be the governor of a fifth rate state admits to this thievery. I call her stupid, not ignorant. And when a PMSNBC anchor asks if this is fair, then you know this is robbery of the highest order. We are just going to wait and see how this plays out.

Governor, your state has set precedent. Now it can be used against other citizens you deem corrupt

Bills of attainder are unconstitutional, illegal, and possibly, actionable. It would be condign punishment for these kangaroo court prosecutors and judges to see all of their carefully planned kangaroo convictions to be thrown out on appeal, and then for them to face retaliatory lawsuits and the forced payment of all Trump's (and his associates') legal fees, plus treble damages, out of the coffers of various cities' AGs. When city taxpayers have to pay huge bucks for local Democrats' nefarious legal actions against Trump and friends, Soros, et al., can be Orkined away.

She misses what is perhaps the scariest parts of the Rulings for other business's...
They include barring ALL New York financial institutions from working with Trump, loaning him ANY money, even on NY Real estate/assets, while at the same time slapping him with an additional 9% interest rate on the fines, when even an ordinary 30yr/fixed jumbo loan is around 7.5%(nearly 300% of what the rate was when Trump was in office), mandating that ANY interest he will have to pay is over 15%,
Plus...having a court allowed to determine ANY decision on market/sales valuations...Take cars for instance, a Ferarri and a Fiat are both cars, made of the same materials, approx the same internal volume, have four wheels, start, stop, both will operate at the very same speeds in NYC Traffic, are even made by the same corporation. Under this court ruling they BOTH should be sold for the same price, The "Name Value" of the Ferarri Badge is a blatant over valuation. The same rules could(and if the ruling is valid, should) apply to perfume, make up, shoes, purses, clothing, booze, foodstuffs, restaurants, hotels, phones, computers. Toro Tuna, starkissed, and Lil' Friskies must be sold for the same$.

Well, no kidding governor Hokey Hochul you doofus. Meanwhile truckers have said that no goods will be delivered to NYC because of your legal harassment of a former and hopefully soon to be POTUS. Just like Chuck Schumer aka Mister Burns said of two Conservative Supreme Court Justices NY will reap the whirlwind and pay the price bigly.

It is not only about Donald Trump. The precedent has been set. There is nothing stopping Leticia James, as Attorney General, from going full bore after any business developer who happens to be in political opposition to the New York Democrat establishment.
All she has to do is get the right judge to agree that the value of assets were misrepresented in order to secure a loan regardless of the figure agreed upon by the borrower and lender.

Gutfeld said--I'm paraphrasing--that Gov. Eyebrows is in office because she's the only one that ex-Gov. Andrew "Virgil Sollozzo" Cuomo didn't try to mate with. At some level that's bound to be a sore subject with her. She's not a beauty. Those eyebrows don't need Ralph Kramden to send them to the moon. They'll get there on their own, as responsible business people abandon the Empire State, which is, officially, a banana state now, especially Gotham itself. I pray that all the upcoming Trump convictions get punted on appeal as bills of attainder, and that Trump and his put upon friends should be able to sue these crooked (Soros funded, mainly) prosecutors for all their legal fees, trebled, before the uncorrupted part of the legal system--if any such still exists--go after all jusges and prosecutors who have filed meritless political charges against innocent people, strip them of their robes, and disbar them. Give THEM the professional death penalty they so richly deserve, their just desert, if you prefer. If they succeed in their lawfare against Trump, they'll go against all of their political adversaries.

Kathy, that's called "Malicious Prosecution" in legal terms. We fought a war against the British Crown over such actions of a government, and won.

I guess one could come to the conclusion that they need the money to pay for those cash welfare payments? What is so insane about all of this is Donald Trump had to pay taxes on the "over-valued" property they are claiming. If I am understanding everything correctly which means I would have to put myself in a liberal mindset, wouldn't he have overpaid in taxes?

In other words, as long as your last name isn’t Trump, you’re safe from Letitia James and the camera loving moron judge Engoron. When Letitia was seen in the courtroom gallery with shoes off, sipping on a Starbucks, I lost it. She’s as arrogant as Biden. I can’t believe these crooks can get away with this.

presently, the appeal situation in old pork city seems overly priced , overly toxic, overly compromised,
possibly criminal, and underly truthful. so let's switch the flip: pdt should stay home in fla, filing a chinese
balloon-full of his own fla. fed ct cases -in rico law, and any other counter claiming lawsuits on earth,
for every abuse of process suffered, by every lying lawyer and conniving judge --from nyc to slutlanta-
for illegal persecutions /election interference / outside of their legal or ethical authority.
sue for money damages, malicious prosecution damages, punitive damages, defamation damages,
all based upon their own damaging words and deeds and coverups --from every gov mansion down to
every sleazoid public and private lawyer, to every mindless geezer judge seeking money power and fame .
even with discovery, to drag out the lawfare rats who actually researched wrote and planned this
unconstitutional filth. pdt could still save a pretty penny , and clean out the prostitutes needing retirement.
