George Washington University law professor Dr. Jonathan Turley called the demands by New York Attorney General Letitia James “breathtaking” in the civil case against Donald Trump, his family, and his organization.
Larry Kudlow spoke with Professor Turley on Fox Business. Turley told the host that, despite Deutsche Bank supporting Donald Trump’s case, James wants to fine him hundreds of millions of dollars.
“You’ve got this New York law that allows James to proceed against Trump even though no one lost any money, even though banks didn’t complain, and on that basis, she’s asking for a nuclear option,” Turley told Kudlow. “She is basically trying to end the role of the corporation of New York, taking away certificates and imposing a quarter of a billion dollars in damages for money that was not lost.”
AG James uses financial reports submitted by the Trump real estate empire to Deutsche Bank before securing loan terms. Supreme Court 1st District Judge Arthur Engoron previously denied an attempt by President Trump to read disclaimers from those reports. They stated that analysts must reach their own conclusions about the value of the assets. They are exculpatory.
“So these guys get on the stand, and they said, look, you know, estimates differ. You don’t rely on those estimates,” Turley continued. “You rely on your own estimates, but they also said we made money here, and then we tried to get more loans with the Trumps. They described Trump as being a whale client, someone you really want, and the disconnect of that testimony with what James is seeking is really breathtaking.”

Everyone needs to stop and think about this. NY is losing money like the water over niagria falls so this is just government theif in the face of the public. Where will the money fined go, to the state.
Hopefully Karma’s plan is for James to lose her license to practice law for gross prosecutorial misconduct.
Week plan. Maybe Karma can step it up a bit. Have James trip walking across a street, get back up only to be run over by a truck hauling manure.
The judge refused to admit exculpatory evidence in that case and in the case of Derek Chauvin same thing, a judge refused to admit exculpatory evidence.
there are dozens if not thousands of cases like that where leftist judges refuse to allow exculpatory evidence to be shown.
That is not justice, that is cheating.
Cheating is the only way leftists win, be it elections or court cases or anything in between.
Truly disgusting type of people they are those leftists.
Same for J6 defendants…..patterns abound.
The criminal is L. James.
The old chant against Hilary of “Lock her up” applies well here.
I prefer the chant, “get a rope”.
