Judge rules Donald Trump defrauded banks, insurers while building real estate empire

[Jake Broe Stan]

This is a mere ruling. It'll lose. Not a trial. A procedural dictate that will be discarded

Wrong again.

That’s just one realtor’s opinion.

The judge used an assessor’s estimate which is obviously going to carry weight unlike some random realtor.

The assessor’s estimate seems low but if you take into account rising sea levels from climate change one could argue his property is worth significantly less than 18 million since it will eventually be completely under water.

It doesn’t really matter either way because this is just low hanging fruit for the mouth breathers. Gets them frothed up over shit they don’t understand.

You try too hard

At the start of the trial, Engoron noted that no parties in the case requested a jury trial and that the law mandated a “bench trial” decided by a judge.

“You have probably noticed or already read that this case has no jury,” Engoron said. “Neither side asked for one and, in any event, the remedies sought are all equitable in nature, mandating that the trial be a bench trial, one that a judge alone decides.”

Trump’s lawyers have pushed back on the notion that they failed to request a jury trial, as some have suggested based on paperwork filed in the case.

“Under 63 (12), which is what this case is, you don’t have a right, an absolute right to a jury,” Trump lawyer Alina Habba said on Fox News this week.
