It is doubtful that Trump is worth bilions.

Why are you so obsessed by what Trump has or doesn't have? Are you that jealous? Wow.

Hunter Biden 'received compensation' from Romanian businessman aiming to influence U.S. policy, special counsel in tax case says

Prosecutors urged the court to deny Biden's request to omit some evidence.

“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.

Who cares. Lock him up.

Show me the jury

I thought you had to have a jury of your peers... I can't see that Trump is getting that type of jury? My guess is its more like a lynch mob!

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!

It's a tax case.

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

Reports of its demise definitely have been greatly exaggerated

The more money someone has, then the more people will dislike them.
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 wheels of justice move slowly. Finally, unless there are further appeals:

New York Appeals Court Throws Out Trump's $364 Million Fraud Penalty

An appeals court has thrown out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump, a huge win for Trump over the lawfare waged against him in the run-up to his 2024 election victory. | Politics

www.breitbart.com

An appellate court has thrown out the $500 million civil fraud penalty against former President Donald Trump in the high-profile case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

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.

NY AG Letitia James subpoenaed by Justice Department over $454M civil fraud case against Trump

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?

If the democrats were smart they would stop with the frivolous lawfare and get back to winning, but that's a mighty big if.

A Fact. At the begining of this trial the crack Trump leagle team turned down a jury trial.

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.

Judge in Trump's New York fraud trial explains why there's no jury

Even if Trump had asked for a jury, the answer would have been "no," the judge said Wednesday.

Now we're waiting for the conviction to be overturned. Then we get to the prosecution of the Judge and the Prosecutor.
