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 Why doesn't Trump sue for malicious prosecution?
@JonathanTurley Not one Corporation in NYC has sent in a revised bank loan documentation form either to date.
@JonathanTurley Any "wrong think" company should pull up stakes in that state.
Agreed. Whatever monetary benefit NY State ultimately garners as a result of this fiasco will be dwarfed by the losses incurred from businesses which will NOT be locating there because of its demonstrated anti-business animus. The only hope for New York is a quick reversal of an obviously flawed process.
@JonathanTurley TDS has no limits - It doesn’t matter who gets hurt - the hatred is blinding and obsessive.

@JonathanTurley Tyranny on the business world. Great idea Democrats.
@JonathanTurley @BBiemesderfer It is unfair and un-American. We all know that if the powerful can be targeted so can the rest of us.
