Not Just a Bond Reduction

The order also reinstates his ability to do business in NY until the appeal is completed. Also allows his son's to keep doing business.

Basically it suspended everything but the special controller to babysit the organization, until the appeal process is concluded. Which I imagine Trump can drag out the appeal for months or even years I would bet.

Is ANYONE going to hold this guy legally accountable for anything?!?

1. They are going to reverse the whole thing

on appeal and he'll get off without any penalty.

The US has no justice system, it has a system of punishment for the peons (most of us) and no penalties for the big cats.

2. In our system you are innocent

until proven…….

broke.

[Bettie]

6. Yep

and if you aren't proven broke, you get away with everything.

The only real "crime" if you are rich is screwing over other rich people.

3. Certainly not the

courts🥲

4. I'm getting an uncomfortable flashback

to the Mueller Report. That old feeling has resurfaced again.

5. That was Bill Barr's doing IMO.

Paid flunky number one.

[PatSeg]

7. Oh yes, it was all Bill Barr

Expectations were so high and the disappointment and outrage were off the chart. In the real world, corruption often is overlooked or rewarded many times before accountability happens.

8. I have a different perspective...

Trump's entire persona is wrapped up in his projected wealth and that of a successful real estate mogul...when, in fact, he had to steal, cheat the IRS, inflate the values of his properties to "afford" a slot on Forbes Magazine's list of Richest Americans..

consider this...he is unable to pay a half a billion dollar bond, considers $175 million a win, he's an adjudicated fraud (and rapist), his brand is worthless, Wall Street and the elite club of the super rich regard him as trash with no cash ...and the most insulting (delicious!) of all, he has a take-no-shit business monitor overseeing his every burp and fart...

and that is why Trump is descending into the black hole of madness, and why we have to redefine our definition of revenge and accountability when it comes to Trump because this is it...for now...
