On 'Morning Joe' Chuck Rosenberg thinks Leticia James should wait on the appeal court before

[Siwsan]

starting to seize trump* properties. The court of appeals meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He thinks she should let the appeal play out.

I disagree. This just seems to be his modus operandi. Delay, delay, delay. First, could he have filed the appeal earlier? And tfg has been given FAR TOO MUCH latitude, all of his life, when it comes to accountability of any sort.

[Goodheart]

1. Go sit in a corner, Chuck

That would be special treatment not afforded to other defendants.

[Lovie777]

2. Delay......................................

[brush]

3. I disagree also with Rosenberg. He is a trump-favoring republican.

I hope AG Tish James carries out her plans to take possession of trump properties to satisfy what he owes without hesitation.

4. Middle ground is putting liens on all real estate

That way TFG cannot sell them but the state is not on the hook for running them until they sell.

But seize the cash... especially the cash hidden in those hundreds of LLC that the overseer has found.

9. Why does the stinky fuck get the middle ground?

[JT45242]

12. Less headache for the DA's office ...

According to a legal analyst and a business analyst I heard on MSNBC and either CNN or NPR, because so many of these properties have huge mortgages, it is likely better to force TFG to pay on the debts and wait to sell until the appeal is lost. This accomplished two things

1) The AG's office is not trying to run golf clubs, hotels, etc. rather than doing their regular jobs. (easier on them)

2) The lien means that TFG has to pay the bills and cannot sell the assets. So the AG;'s office is protected financially from bad deals. With the appointed overseer having complete control now, it will mean that whatever revenue comes in pays bills and gives TFG and the two idiot sons an allowance. The rest of the money will be used to pay the debts and eventually the settlements

[Happy Hoosier]

20. Nope.

James should initiate all necesary processes to collect the judgment as provided for in the law if TSF cannot meet the cash or bond requirements.

No one else would get special treatment. We either have "equal justice under the law" or not.

5. AG James

Knows her case better than he does.

6. Chuck Rosenberg; "prosecutors have discretion

there is no rush to keep Hitler in jail." "Let's see how this plays out".

[Happy Hoosier]

21. Yeah... that's nuts.

We KNOW how this will play out.... Trump will delay, and delay, and delay, and delay. And then he'll lose. It'll take a while to sell real property assets, so if the judgment is trimmed, he can have some stupid hunk of gold-painted property back.

Start the process of taking his shit NOW, presuming he doesn;t come up with a way to delay that (which I think he will). It's what he does.

[struggle4progress]

7. OK, then: let him post the effin bond

[Voltaire2]

8. Ah no. The rules are clear. Appeals require a bond.

[LiberalFighter]

10. He was given the courtesy of 30 additional days instead of providing the bond on day one.

So hell no.

[House of Roberts]

11. If he posts the bond,

Tish James can wait for the appeal to be decided. No bond. no wait. Send out the repo men!

[Emile]

13. At the very least seize his airplane.

[Captain Zero]

18. right. E Jean Carroll at least deserves some walking-around money

She needs some of it NOW.
That should be her response.

[ShazzieB]

22. E. Jean Carroll's money is already under bond, courtesy of Chubb.

That' was a completely separate case from the money he owes the state of New York. She'll get her money no matter what happens with the fraud case.

[PCIntern]

14. I cannot tolerate his mealy-mouthed delivery and "logic"

He always wants to mitigate everything.

“You won a 800 million dollar lottery? Be careful of being hit by lightning. In fact, if you don’t accept the prize you will probably survive the week.”

[Bettie]

16. Did he post his bond?

Because if he needs to post a bond to appeal and he hasn't done that, there's no appeal and thus no reason to wait.

He needs to stop being given special treatment.

[localroger]

19. The bond isn't so there can be an appeal, it's so the judgement won't be collected...

...until the appeal is completed. The bond is to assure that the judgement will be paid if the appeal fails.

[Happy Hoosier]

17. Why? That's NOT what the law says!

No one else would get special treatment.... why should Trump!?

Fuck that. Time for that man to FINALLY face some consequences. He MUST play by the same rules as everyone else.
