The NY Court of Appeals has finally intervened to offer a modicum of restraint in the Trump case. It has A has given former President Donald Trump 10 more days to post a bond of $175 million. That is likely doable and avoids the cliff drop set up by Engoron and James.
...Both Engoron and James would have gained greater credibility if they recognized the obvious unreasonableness of the original demand. While still a massive bond lift, it should be attainable for Trump to allow for the review of Engoron's controversial ruling...
...For those looking for a thrill kill moment at midnight, this will be a disappointment. Hopefully, the appellate court will restore a degree of objectivity and restraint missing on the trial level...
@JonathanTurley Trump said he had the money, nothing about the ruling was “controversial” but you’re saying that now because you spin everything.
@JonathanTurley The utter meltdown on the left about a $175 million “bail” would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a serious issue. Which of the Bill of Rights would the DNC support today? It’s a serious question.
@JonathanTurley They will never have any credibility. They are garbage and should be disbarred.
@JonathanTurley Since this is a purely political case, they can't back down. This is a real bad look for the state of New York.
@JonathanTurley It is their OG intent and strategy though, nothing to "recognize" here regarding the Imran Khan-like prosecution of Trump and his allies. They have been very successful thus far. Watch out! @elonmusk

@JonathanTurley Credibility is not at play. They are both banking on book deals.
@JonathanTurley When will the state Supreme Courts do their jobs, their ethical obligation and investigate James, Engoron, Willis, Smith et al. It is embarrassing to be a member at this point and they are diluting the integrity of the profession!
