President Trump, the Eight Amendment, And The Gross Miscarriage of Justice

The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution bans. That amendment says “excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Why hasn’t New York Judge Arthur Engoron been sanctioned?

The massive reduction in the unprecedented half a billion dollar judgment against President Trump (the first of that size against an individual) for  a non-existent crime is empirical evidence of how wrong this relentless prosecution Trump is. There are ninety two baseless, invented cases brought by Democrat DAs across the country.  The outrageous is normal.

The reduction was a win but it should not move toward normalizing outrageous bonds in a total warping of the law. It’s still naked tyranny and yet people didn’t seem to care because it was Trump or Giuliani or some other political opponent. So yes,  it’s a win. The whole thing stinks. But it’s a win.

HUGE TRUMP WIN: Judge REDUCES BOND OVER 60%, Gives Another 10 Days, Soros-Backed Racist Letitia James Crushed

Lawrence Kudlow writes:

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of President Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s assets while he appeals.

The development came just before Attorney General Letitia James was expected to initiate efforts to collect the judgment.

Messages seeking comment were sent to General James’ office and to Mr. Trump’s lawyers.

The GOP front-runner’s lawyers had pleaded for a state appeals court to halt collection, claiming it was “a practical impossibility” to get an underwriter to sign off on a bond for such a large sum.

The ruling was issued by the state’s intermediate appeals court, the Appellate Division of the state’s trial court, where Mr. Trump is fighting to overturn a judge’s February 16 finding that he lied about his wealth as he grew the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency.
