“Where is the injury?” |
2-28-24, CANADA FREE PRESS -- judgment was for $355 million in penalties against Donald J. Trump for alleged fraud (disgorgement/ill-gotten gains) that, after all of the dust settles is actually around the tune of more than $464 million. The lawsuit was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James on behalf of the State of New York. New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron presided over the case, not allowing a jury, and ruling that all defendants were guilty and liable on all seven claims. The argument was that Trump claimed the financial condition of the Trump Empire was better than it was; a summarization that calculated the net worth of President Trump was routinely inflated which was then used to allegedly defraud banks and insurers causing them to take undue risks. The bank or lending institution will perform their own due-diligenceIn the legal world there are hurdles that must be cleared before any lawsuit can see the light of day. Standing is one of those hurdles. Standing is a three-legged stool that requires injury to be established, and:
Back during Obama’s reign lenders were considered to be “Predatory Lenders,” but now it's claimed the predators are the victims with Trump in the room. It's not the responsibility of the borrower to establish the value, it is up to the lender. It's common practice for the borrower to hire a company to perform assessment on their real estate to show the highest value, but typically the bank will do their own assessments. In the end, the bank is not required to lend to a borrower who they believe inflated their worth - the bank can say “no.” | Trying to convince them that one’s value is higher than it might be is not fraud, it’s a part of the process that, in the end, if the bank or lending institution is a good one, is fully under the control of the lending party, anyway. As for the loans, and the work connected to the loans, the work was completed, the loans were paid back, the interest was paid as expected, and the lenders stated they liked doing business with Mr. Trump and would do business with him again. We must ask, once more, “Where is the injury?” If there is no injury, there is no standing. After Justice Engoron ignored the fact that there was no standing, he not only allowed the case to proceed but he then decided there would be no jury. When later asked about the lack of a jury, the answer was that the Trump team didn’t ask for one. A jury is a natural rightIn America, that is not how it works. Only in cases under a certain dollar amount, we call those “small claims,” or in cases in which the defendant waives the right to a jury by signing a document saying so, shall there be no jury. Otherwise, a jury is a natural right not only discussed and enumerated as a right in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, but also is plainly laid out in the New York State Constitution. Article I, Section 2 of the New York State Constitution reads as follows:
The Democrats, and Letitia James, have engaged in lawfare against President TrumpNo waiver? Then the right to a jury remains. |
Therefore, contrary to Justice Engoron’s opinion, Trump did not need to ask for a jury, he has/had a right to a jury and it could only be taken away if he asked for it to be taken away. The Democrats, and Letitia James, have engaged in lawfare against President Trump, and are even willing to violate the law to achieve their political goal of destroying the man and keeping him out of the White House. After the case, New York Attorney General Letitia James even appeared to taunt Trump about the interest he may also have to pay, posting on Twitter (a.k.a. X) her glee that the post-judgment interest is accruing at nearly $112,000 per day. She wrote on the day of the judgment: “In a massive victory, we won our case against Donald Trump for engaging in years of incredible financial fraud to enrich himself. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and his former executives must pay over $450 million in disgorgement and interest.” Sounds like a pro-commie, anti-bourgeoisie/anti-free market attitude to me. But, I digress… On Feb. 23, James, who has denied having a “personal vendetta” against Trump despite remarks suggesting otherwise, posted flatly, “$464,576,230.62.” “+$114,553.04,” she added in another post the next day, referring to the potential added interest Trump may be on the hook for. | New York and Letitia James is in the face of New York corporate law: Donald Trump has appealed the ruling, filing in the New York State of Appeals. The verdict, which also violates the “excessive fines” natural right as enumerated in the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and Article I, Section 5 of the New York State Constitution…
“New York and Letitia James is in the face of New York corporate law,” claims Legal Scholar Jonathan Turley. Now we find out if all of the justices in New York are criminals seeking to side with the Democrats, or if the rule of law still has some sort of meaning in the State and the illegal verdict established by Engoron will be overturned. If not, I am guessing the appeals will keep on going, and in the end it will all be overturned, or at worst become a federal case that Trump can pardon once he is in the White House again, should that become a reality. https://canadafreepress.com/article/trump-the-civil-fraud-case-standing-and-juries |
