New York AG Letitia James has said that she will seek to seize some of Trump’s assets if he’s unable to pay the judgment.
Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York appellate court Wednesday to halt collection of the former president’s $454 million civil fraud judgment while he appeals.
Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that he is prepared to post a $100 million appeal bond rather than a bond covering the full amount, which would have automatically paused enforcement.
They said a provision in Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 ruling that bans Trump, his company, and co-defendants from obtaining loans from New York banks for three years would make it impossible for him to obtain a bond covering the full judgment.
If he becomes president can he pardon himself?
No, but he would immediately appoint a Fed AG would would try to substitute the government for him in the case (Barr did that in the E. Jean Carrol #1 case), which would effectively stall it out indefinitely. Then, he just overthrows the election to make himself dictator for life and bam! No worries.
Not in a state civil case
Not from that
That’s exactly what the shit-weasel is trying to do.
