“The evidence will not include evidence that the defendant performed lobbying activity in exchange for this compensation,” Weiss’ team wrote.
“Rather the evidence will show the defendant performed almost no work in exchange for the millions of dollars he received from these entities,” the filing added.
The same is true for Elon Musk!
Some folks just see Elon Musk as a rich guy and will do anything to tear him down—lying, cheating, exaggerating. They're terrible judges of character and probably haven't done a real day's work in their lives, at least not what I'd call work. Take Twitter before Elon Musk took over; there were so many slackers that he fired 80% of them, and the company still runs like clockwork!
that's exactly it - in this country, and probably like most countries, ideologically similar pockets of people sometimes densely populate certain areas. for a republican or conservative, especially a well known one, to have a jury of their peers in manhattan is like fishing for saltwater fish in a freshwater pond

All those guys who say they don't like someone. If you ask if they have plenty of money, their reply is invariably yes.
Everyone cheers on the underdog.
Then when they are successful the same people want them bringing back down to earth.
Avarice is a small word that causes huge problems to so many people.
Who cares? Wherever you are in the scheme of things. There will always be some with more and those with less.

The New York Appellate Division overturned the penalty, ruling the disgorgement was an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment.
Now will either James or Engoron face criminal or ethics charges based on their abuse of power to "cancel" Trump?
One commentator noted that Biden ran on a platform of "restoring the soul of America" and being ethical, yet Democrats deploy illegal means to kneecap their political opponents as demonstrated by this example of lawfare. Democrats are clearly the threat to democracy.
James was hit with subpoenas as part of a grand jury probe by the Albany US Attorney’s Office into her office’s $454 million civil fraud case against President Trump.

James has infamously stated that "one one is above the law". Based on her abuse of the law and apparent falsification of mortgage document, will she finally be charged for her criminal behavior?
According to CBS, that is incorrect. They did not turn down a jury trial. They were not given the option. The judge told them he would turn down the request.
