After five decades of playing fast and loose with the laws of New York, and a plenary of fraud, deception and corruption, legal appeasement seems to be declining and legal accountability seems to be ramping up as the proverbial hens are finally returning home to roost for the former Houdini of white-collar crime, Donald J. Trump.
First, there was the civil judgment of 5 million dollars awarded to the writer E. Jean Carroll by a federal jury of Trump’s peers. Then there was a second judgment of $83.3 million in damages awarded to Carroll by another jury of Trump’s peers for the additional defamatory statements that he continued to make after the first judgment was rendered for denying that he had sexually assaulted Carroll. And then there was the New York civil fraud decision by Judge Arthur Engoron holding Trump and his sons, Eric and Don, Jr. financially liable to the tune of more than $350 million underscoring “the extent of Trump and the Trump Organization’s white-collar malfeasance.” Last week, Judge Engoron turned down a request by Trump’s lawyers to postpone payment.     
However, in the case of the historic $454 million judgment, “a figure that is growing by more than $100,000 in interest every day,” Trump sought a stay yesterday in opposition to New York law that requires first forking over the entire amount in damages or putting up a cash bond for the same known in the New York civil court system as an “undertaking.”
Trump also had previously done the same thing with the $83.3 million ruling by a jury in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit. Neither of these appeals should go anywhere and the clock is still ticking in each case and soon time will be up before Carroll’s attorneys and then the New York attorney general Letitia James can start seizing the former president’s assets and property.

As they say You reap what you sow. Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants and yes men, only people who will tell him what he wants to hear. And he retaliates against anyone who tells him the truth. If you observe his recent cult tent revivals anyone who doesn’t tow the line in lockstep is violently ejected. As a result when confronted with fact and truth from legitimate media, prosecutors and the courts he is shocked and outraged. This is taking a toll as can be seen in his maniacal rants about nonexistent persecution. Instead of recognizing and taking responsibility for his misdeeds, he perceives himself as unjustly persecuted and pimps himself to the ignorant hate cult as a Christ like Messiah; the only thing standing between them and a fictitious evil conspiracy. Of course this is abject rubbish. The man is nothing but a privileged vulgar narcissistic crook. We can only hope that as he continues to come slowly unglued, as reality hits him in his greasy orange face like a shovel, that his puss filled ticker holds out long enough for him to see the inside of a prison cell.

Our legal system is partially religiously based, and holds the expectation that criminals will express contrition and remorse. Prison sentences reflect this and do not reward hubris. This is the only lesson Trump needs to learn in the next few months, and if he has any real friends they will explain this to him regardless the cost or he will continue to earn the rest of his life behind bars.

Think. Why are they just getting around to going after him now if its been that many years? Is it because its an election year or are they really that incompetent in NY?
