ROFLOL Hochul just made the Trump case fully appealable đ
Bias and Prejudice, over zealous prosecution đ
Right you canât come out and say youâre just prosecuting one person and everyone else is good. Should be thrown out immediately on appeal and these bums should be thrown in jail
O'Leary told "Fox & Friends Weekend" to take the "Trump factor" out of the equation and look at the case as if it were any real estate developer with a marked presence in New York State.
"Forget about the Trump factor," he said. "It's not about that. What does this say to everybody that wants to do work in New York and wants to risk capital? ⌠this judge arbitrarily decide[d] that this is the right amount. I don't understand it. No developer does."
He added, "It's an atrocity. It's an embarrassment, but it's an assault on real estate."
O'Leary said very few business sectors create the amount of cash flow that real estate does. What Trump was found liable for doing, he argued, is not too different from the typical "haggling" that goes on between a prospective debtor and a bank.
"You go to a bank and you say, 'Look, I want to borrow $200 million to build a buildingâ. And they say, âWhat assets do you have that we can secure this loan against?â And you point to a building you built before, and you haggle, and you argue about the value of that building."

He has done business in New York for 50 years. He runs for president, wins and now running again he is suddenly hit with almost 100 indictment and two civil cases in NY for over 600 million?
No. Sorry. This is not the Conservative Tree House. If you do not see what has actually happened here you shouldn't be able to operate a motor vehicle let alone have kids to raise.
A law that has never been used like this, ever, is used where there is no victim to be used and to make it such a high amount it will bankrupt them to appeal.
This is what our government and elected officials are doing to those who do not follow the Progressive line of thought. This is not what we should be worried about.
That is in office right now.

I wonder how many NYC developers are vulnerable to the Trump treatment right now...for the exact same thing.
I wonder how many potential NYC developers will now decide it's not worth the risk to invest in construction there...and will develop elsewhere.
NY just screwed itself.

Except the fact that it's not truth and facts. You simply linked to a site that already skewed the original quote to fit their narrative and are now linking to it like it's fact. That doesn't make it fact, sorry to disappoint you.
