New York Attorney General Letitia James, who ran for office vowing to take down former President Donald Trump, has been gloating on X about the $354.8 million fine imposed on him since she won against him in a county court two weeks ago.
Trump is planning to appeal the judgment in the civil fraud case, which accused him of inflating his net worth to get favorable bank loans, which he paid back.
However, Trump must first pay the $354.8 million fine ordered by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron before he can appeal. He is also being charged interest that is expected to reach $100 million. James has been posting

Seems if we actually had a fair justice system in New York (and other blue run-into-the-ground states and cities), Ms. James' boasts would constitute prima facia evidence of (1) the selective political prosecution of this victim-less case and (2) violation of the 8th amendment protections.
But I doubt it.
If Ms. James "repossesses" Trump Tower and other NY-based property, I expect they would be returned to Mr. Trump much like a stolen automobile might be returned to its legal owner -- often stripped and in poor condition.

Heretofore I have experienced chest pains when reading about China Joe or his myriad puppeteers.
However, Ms James has given me a whole new level of ….. (fill in the blank.). I would love to see her face-planted on her hubris, but I’m not holding my breath.

The largest portion of the "Disgorgement" fine she/they imposed was not on any NY deal...it is over the DC Post office/hotel that they already basically forced him to sell. It was/is a US Govt owned historic building that was a tax sinkhole for decades, $10's of $millions a year, he won a lease on it, dumped several hundred $million into it and made it a YUUUUGE success, not only for his Business, but also for the taxpayers who MAKE tons of money from it rather than spending tons on it. Under constant pressure from Dems and prosecutors over "Emoluments" and Profits from foreigners that stayed there(he donated all proceeds from foreign visitors to the Govt. instead of fighting , still they fought) he sold his interests to Waldorf Astoria...and Dems cheered that they had driven him totally out of DC. Now Tish and Engogon have seized the entire "Profit" he made based upon the loans he took out to restore/create the place, since NY properties(and her personal guarantee) were the basis of those loans, loans he paid back in full, with interest, to banks and lenders that say they would be happy to do it again....they claim THEY are entitled to every dime he made from them.
But in todays News....Waldorf Astoria/Hilton just defaulted on the loans they took out to buy his interests. $285 Million.
Will Tish and Engorgon now Go after them? If they cannot cover that note they MUST have lied in some of the paperwork filings...somewhere.
They MUST have used some of their other Hotels "Valuations" as collateral, Hilton has 65 in NYC alone, plus the "Closed for renovations" Waldorf on Park Ave. Is Tish- Engorgon gonna seize them ALL?
Waldorf also holds and runs 13 USA "Resorts"(much as Trump holds a similar number of Golf Courses/Resorts)

It’s always been personal with this law-witch. She has been focused on Trump in a manner that screams mental disorder, but what democrat is not so impaired? Nothing new here. It’s just that she is particularly ridden with an obsession much like Wiley Coyote who pursues The Road Runner. May she have the same success. We look forward to the day when a huge retribution anvil will fall directly upon her over inflated ego.

I am beginning to wonder if Letitia hates him because he is Trump, because he is white, or because he is rich. She doesn't seem to be able to focus on the issues.

I wonder how many times Letitia James has met with the President of the USA?

James is just another fat, big-mouthed, low IQ Harpy who has been given some DEI power and is abusing it just like most of them do. See Fani Willis, Tiffany Henyard, Sheila Jackson Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Karen Bass, Muriel Bowser, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Reid, Claudine Gay, etc. etc. The position or the profession does not matter, they all conduct themselves in the same obnoxious manner. They don't work to improve life for all, they work to promote their own agenda, which is ridding the world of toxic white men.

She should be disbarred. She evidently wants to take the country toward political prosecutions. She evidently thinks she has discovered a new idea there, and has not seen any downside.

This is what happens when a Communist is placed in a position of power. If she can do this to President Trump, she can do it to other rich conservatives. Buyer beware!!!

I DO hope that ALL developers in NY are looking at this. All you need is ONE DEI politician to set their sights on you and you are toast.
WHY take the risk? Liquidate and move on. It's the only way you can survive.

she WILL, in the future, regret having done this to our President and
= I hope the consequences of her actions will be as painful as what Sisyphus was sentenced to in Dante's Inferno
