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...
...The true sunk costs of this controversy are likely born by Democrats who are seen as engaging in raw lawfare. Turning the New York legal system into an inescapable political vortex is repellent for many citizens and companies alike.
@JonathanTurley @KristinnFR "Hopefully..." "Objectivity..." Wishful thinking, while the #SCOTUS awaits.
@JonathanTurley Exactly, in the end, it will cost them more than their premature gloating brought them in terms of evil delight over the injustice done to Trump.
@JonathanTurley ..'thrill kill moment at midnight'.. -- awesome -- and so true. Imagine how sad they are now. Anticipate Tik-tok videos of them crying ... (: Keep it up young man! It cracks me up.
@JonathanTurley The conditions placed on the Trump family are unfair. Signed of course by a female judge. I’m disappointed in my gender more every day.
@JonathanTurley How many times are normal people given these kinds of “deals,” Jon???Do you support his threats and lies about the courts????!!!!
@JonathanTurley I think they have same goal, just more aware of backlash.
