Last time I checked the election was over a year away. Not to mention the fact that this case has been open since 2019 and could've gone to trial earlier if Trump hadn't delayed for so long.

Once again, the law does not require the prosecutor to prove damages. Just a persistent history of fraudulent actions.

Last time I checked Trump has been the front-runner for 4 years and they want to take him out, do you disagree?

If the freedom of speech aspect continues to be attacked, folks may even come after posters on the internet. Likely the ones that cheered it on when they thought it was just to be used against the other guy.

As I said before their mode of operation is to throw everything they can at a person of interest and then just keep doing it with zero intent to win any case until a person is financially broke. Those on the left cheer it on, make jokes about the people they attack, and say things like well you will think twice before you say something. They do all this without even a remote thought that what they are cheering for is the destruction of our right to free speech.

The bitch of it for them is, he is going to get elected.
Then the crying, hand wringing and pearl clutching resets and starts over.
I can’t wait.

Section 12 is the specific law being used against the Trump Organization.
Case law states that the prosecutor doesn't need to show damages or that sdny other laws are broken. They merely need to show that a company has a persistent history of performing fraudulent actions.

are you sure your taxes have nothing to do with property value?
I know you’re to the point of making up any possible story to feel better about your hate for Trump. So none of this matters.

You could literally use such a law for wrecking the life of some schmuck who repeatedly lies to his neighbor about the weather, or the size of his dong.
The law was clearly not meant for abusing people for saying something that ends up being wrong, a few times. Or a few dozen, or few hundred times.
America’s justice system allows for anyone to sue anyone at any time—for any reason—even if there is no legal cause of action. All it takes is filing the papers.

You can believe whatever you want but the courts have ruled that prosecution does not need to prove damages in a 63-12 case.

That's it, that is all they did... If there are zero damages there really is no case, but one can still sue...
