HILARIOUIS: Letitia Takes Another ‘L’ As Important Ruling Against Trump Is Overturned

There’s a biblical proverb about setting a trap for someone else and falling into it herself. Letitia James is a perfect example of that principle in acton. She thought she had Trump cold. She couldn’t be more wrong.

Trump lives rent-free in Letitia James’s head. So much so that she held out ‘getting Trump’ as a center piece of her political campaign to be AG. Once sworn in, she made good on that promise, setting up a very public trial invoking some very unorthodox fraud allegations against him, in which there was no actual injured party.

After getting a 9-figure judgement against him, she insisted Trump pay insanely high fine immediately, licking her chops at the opportunity to seize assets to cover it. She even had a particular building in mind — Trump 40 Wall Street. Trump had to secure a bond that cost him millions every month just to appeal the case.

The case advanced to the court of appeals, where the half-billion dollar judgment was brought before a five-judge panel, where there has since been a 5-0 ruling.

That ruling was in Trump’s favor.

A federal appeals court has thrown out the nearly half a billion dollar civil judgement against Donald Trump.

The case was brought by NY AG Letitia James.

The civil fraud penalty has been thrown out as a violation of the 8th Amendment.

Her office has replied that the case itself will not be dropped, despite the ruling. But seeing how flimsy the case relying on novel readings of the law has been, there is a real chance of it being overturned completely.

Trump’s took to Truth Social, as you would expect, and his response to this ruling held nothing back.

TOTAL VICTORY in the FAKE New York State Attorney General Letitia James Case! I greatly respect the fact that the Court had the Courage to throw out this unlawful and disgraceful Decision that was hurting Business all throughout New York State. Others were afraid to do business there. The amount, including Interest and Penalties, was over $550 Million Dollars. It was a Political Witch Hunt, in a business sense, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. This was a Case of Election Interference by the City and State trying to show, illegally, that I did things that were wrong when, in fact, everything I did was absolutely CORRECT and, even, PERFECT. Every single Dollar was thrown out, even the penalties imposed on us by the Corrupt Judge, one of the most overturned in History, Arthur Engoron. I wasn’t given a Jury and, during the course of the Trial, which lasted a long time, was not given one Ruling in my favor by this Political Hack, but worse than him, if that’s possible, was Letitia James, a Corrupt and Incompetent Attorney General who only brought this Case in order to hurt me politically. She is a Trump Deranged Lunatic! They made me bond the outrageous sum, which never happened before, and which cost me Millions of Dollars a month. It should have never been allowed to happen, and everyone knew it! Importantly, the Vote was 5 to 0. I am so honored by Justice David Friedman’s great words of wisdom, which should be read by everyone. I would also like to thank the Court for having the Courage to make this Decision, which is already going down as one of the worst business persecutions in the History of our Country. Sadly, there are other Cases against me that are equally disgraceful, including those headed up by Corrupt Judges, like Juan Merchan, whose daughter collected Millions of Dollars in Fees from Crooked Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, while her father shockingly REFUSED TO RECUSE himself from a vicious and corrupt trial, which is also under Appeal, one in which every Legal Pundit in New York said, “THERE WAS NO CASE!” — Even Editorial Boards said, “DO NOT DO THIS!” Judge Merchan gave me an unprecedented Gag Order, not letting me talk about him or his daughter, or the fact that the Appellate Judges thought he should not be doing the Case, but he did it anyway. Many Lawyers said that his daughter and him created the Greatest Conflict of Interest they had ever seen. Judge Lewis Kaplan, the other remaining Case, whose wife, family, and friends attended his two trials, is as mean and nasty as anyone I have ever met. That Case, also on Appeal, should also never have been brought, and he should be admonished for Abuse, and every other thing that can be thrown at a Corrupt Judge. He loved the publicity, and would not let us present the irrefutable evidence that we wanted to present. This Clinton appointed Judge should not be allowed to get away with this SCAM….

The irony is, with all of Letitia’s hard work in the service of Trump’s destruction not only failing, but being MASSIVELY overturned in a way that vindicates Trump’s allegations of political witchhunt — how else could a conviction that involved a violation of his 8th Amendment Rights be described? — she has since come under scrutiny for… allegations of mortgage fraud.

She’ll have all kinds of explanations for why this is nothing more than political retribution, but it was a watchdog group, not an appointee, that found and highlighted the legally questionable paperwork on her mortgage application. And since the content of those papers are as clear as black ink on white paper, she can’t rely on sophistic rhetoric to explain why it doesn’t say what it looks like it says.

The assertions on those pages are either true, or they are not. And if they are not, that comes with consequences attached, that Letitia James has been more than willing to force upon others.

File this under ‘poetic justice’.
