As expected, the goofy Judge Arthur Engoron gave a ruling Friday [FULL pdf HERE] ordering President Trump to pay nearly $350 million in penalties for “business fraud.” However, without any victim and with the banks testifying on behalf of Donald Trump, who exactly is he supposed to pay?
Obviously, President Trump and his lawyers are appealing this ridiculous judicial ruling. All the banks and lenders did their own due diligence on financing terms with Donald Trump. This judge genuinely is goofy.
All operational loans and Trump Org. business loans were paid back. There were no defaults or banking interests adversely impacted. There are no victims of what the New York State calls “fraud,” yet this judge has decided President Trump must pay $350 million in damages and must dissolve business interests in the state for a period of three years.
NEW YORK – […] In addition to the penalties aimed at Trump himself, Engoron imposed measures that may significantly alter the operations of the Trump family business, known as the Trump Organization. Engoron banned Trump’s two adult sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who are executive vice presidents of the company, from running New York companies for two years and fined them more than $4 million each. And he ordered a court-appointed monitor to continue overseeing the company’s operations for another three years, requiring the company to seek her approval prior to submitting any financial disclosure to a third party.

As expected, the lawyers representing Donald Trump have asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the DC appellate court decision on presidential immunity. [SEE pdf Here]
At the heart of the matter is really the intersection of politics and a weaponized judiciary. If presidents do not have absolute immunity while in office, then their political opposition can just threaten to file charges against them once their term expires. The obvious problems are easy to see.
WASHINGTON DC – Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Monday to block a lower court’s ruling that he is not immune from criminal charges stemming from his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
The 39-page motion puts the fate of his criminal case in Washington, D.C. squarely in the hands of the nine justices, three of whom he nominated.
[…] Trump’s new filing at the Supreme Court also asks for a step that could produce additional delay. He requests that the justices grant a stay and hold off on further action on the immunity issue until the D.C. Circuit decides whether to reconsider the immunity claim in front of that court’s full 11-judge bench. Such “en banc” rehearings are rare, but formal action on Trump’s request for one could take weeks, particularly if any members of the appeals court wish to file an opinion or opinions disagreeing with their colleagues.
“Allowing President Trump to pursue en banc review in the D.C. Circuit will provide an opportunity for … thoughtful consideration in the lower court before this Court addresses the novel, complex, and momentous issues at stake in this appeal,” Trump’s attorneys wrote. (Read more)

Three judges from the Washington DC Circuit Court of Appeals have denied the immunity request from President Trump.
In a rather stark decision reached by the panel [SEE Ruling Here] “We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed,” the court wrote in its ruling Tuesday. “We conclude that the interest in criminal accountability, held by both the public and the Executive Branch, outweighs the potential risks of chilling Presidential action and permitting vexatious litigation.”
WASHINGTON – The judges put their decision on hold only until Monday to allow Trump to ask the Supreme Court to take up the immunity fight on an emergency basis. If he does so, the decision won’t take effect until the high court acts on his request, the appeals panel decreed. (read more)
The court essentially stayed its own ruling, pending a punt to the Supreme Court.
I have read the DC Court of Appeals decision stripping Trump of any immunity. In doing so, they are stripping judges and prosecutors of immunity as well for all you had to argue is they acted against their appointment and oath. Their statement of facts calls everyone on January 6th Trump’s “coconspirators,” and this is a plain declaration of guilt. They state the four charges against Trump, which are all conspiracy – the law of tyrants, for they need not prove that Trump did anything, is assumed to be indistinguishable from the protestors.
(1) conspiracy to defraud the United States by overturning the election results, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;
(2) conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding — i.e., the Congress’s certification of the electoral vote — in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k);
(3) obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct, the certification of the electoral vote, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1512(c)(2), 2; and
(4) conspiracy against the rights of one or more persons to vote and to have their votes counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.
“At this stage of the prosecution, we assume that the allegations set forth in the Indictment are true.”
The Crime of Conspiracy has long been the law of tyrants. Maximinus I (235-238AD) used the Crime of Conspiracy, which is only a thought crime. It has been abandoned by most civilized countries – but not the United States for they never have to actually prove you did a crime. Conspiracy has been abandoned in Europe, Russia, and even China. Conspiracy is a vile crime itself, and it has been the favorite of tyrants for thousands of years. It allows the conviction of someone for a crime they did not commit, nor even attempted to commit but you claim they “intended” purely as a mental state to commit in the future. Maximinus I engaged in legal persecution. Thus, the crime of Conspiracy was the way to convict people you otherwise could not. There are three aspects to a crime in the United States where: anyone can be charged with conspiracy if the government desires.(1) committing the act,(2) attempting to commit the act, and then(3) there is Conspiracy which is claimed you have only “intended” to commit the act in your mind, which cannot be proven and typically requires extorting a confession by force.
Using Conspiracy, Maximinus I effectively tore the Roman economy apart at its seams. He charged a noted Senator by the name of Magnus with conspiracy against the emperor, found him guilty, executed him, and then arrested 4,000 others, claiming they conspired with him intending to depose him. He used this crime of conspiracy to execute them all, and that justified confiscating all their property as well.
Justice Robert Jackson wrote about Conspiracy in his concurring opinion in Krulewitch v. United States, 336 U.S. 440 (1949)
“This case illustrates a present drift in the federal law of conspiracy which warrants some further comment because it is characteristic of the long evolution of that elastic, sprawling and pervasive offense. Its history exemplifies the “tendency of a principle to expand itself to the limit of its logic.” The unavailing protest of courts against the growing habit to indict for conspiracy in lieu of prosecuting for the substantive offense itself…“
Virtually 95% of the people in prison are charged with conspiracy. I have seen a person charged with conspiracy to murder when someone asked him hey did you see Joe, yes, he is over there. They kill him, and then he is charged with conspiracy, for there is no need to even prove he knew what they wanted Joe for. Then, the government seeks the death penalty. The prosecutor quit because the kid was just 23 years old and had no prior record.
We have more people in prison than China – more than any other country. But that is raw numbers. China has 1.409 billion people, and the USA has 334 million. Divide that out, and the United States has five times the number of people in prison per capita than China. Russia has 143 million people. Yet all we hear is how ruthless China and Russia are because they are not free. When you look at who is in prison, the USA has the highest probability of going to prison than any other country. Obviously, Americans must be the most dishonest people in the world.
What is being done to Trump is the outrageous abuse of conspiracy, and that we are in such desperate need of legal reform in this country is not a joke. Perhaps the abuse hurled at Trump will eventually wake up America to how bad our legal system has become.
You have NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS whatsoever! Read the First Amendment. It states, “Congress shall make no law.” This is why Facebook, YouTube, and every other private organization can restrict your speech, for the First Amendment does NOT prevent them from de-banking you or de-platforming you; they can deny your free speech as they desire.
Trump has been PREDETERMINED to be guilty. There is no need for constitutional rights. They have already decided. Biden can take bribes, his son can sell influence, smoke crack in the White House, and he has thrown top secret documents in his garage. Nothing will ever be done to Biden, and in Congress, we have a uni party that will NEVER defend the people.
These judges are out of control. They think they are above the law because they are the law, and they never consider what they are doing to society, especially given the civil unrest that our computer has been projecting for the 2024 election. This does not look good, and now the Senate Republicans have stripped Texas of all its rights in the $118 billion gift to Zelensky. They have torn the Constitution into shreds, and we no longer have anyone left representing the people. God help us.
