Massive civil fraud verdict against Trump gets frosty reception at New York appeals court

More of the liberal use of lawfair by the Democrat party is being exposed.

New York appeals court is now hearing Donald Trump's appeal over partisan Judge Arthur Engoron's civil case in which Trump was wrongfully sentenced to pay a judgment that has now reached $478 million due to interest.

According to Politico, several members of the appeals court are showing signs that they believe New York Attorney General Tish James abused her power when bringing the case.

Massive civil fraud verdict against Trump gets frosty reception at New York appeals court

During oral arguments on Thursday, some members of the five-judge appeals court panel suggested that New York Attorney General Tish James had overstepped by using the particular New York fraud statute she used to bring the case against Trump.

Justice David Friedman, questioned whether her office had ever before used the statute “to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners.”

Associate Justice Llinet Rosado chimed in once Friedman finished to add, “and little to no impact on the public marketplace.”

“I think you hear underneath all these questions, the question of mission creep,” Associate Justice Peter Moulton said. “Has 6312” — the statute in question — “morphed into something that it was not meant to do?”

NYAG Letitia James and NYGov Kathy Hochul will be indicted in the next year or two. So will New York DA Alvin Bragg, whose Net Worth skyrocketed from $900,000 to $32 million, in just 3 years, FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON.

New York is cesspool.

I think that's what us lay people call a 'clue'.
