Stormy actually owes Donald money, thanks to the dumb SLAPP suit Michael Avenatti filed on her behalf.
Well, of course he did! He doesn’t just play a dumb guy on television, he really is one.
Whenever discussion of Trump finally being brought to justice comes up a helluva lot of people make the case the criminal justice system eventually will catch up with him, he’ll run out of runway, the jig is up, Damocles is dropping the sword upon his neck, you just wait, it’s coming, THIS TIME HE’S DONE FUCKED UP!!!
And then…pffft. Nothing.
Face it, Trump skates. On all of it.
Ha! Name a lawyer, any lawyer, who hasn’t written a proposed order for a Judge, and then gone ahead and signed that order, themselves.
Is the parking garage she used to work for even still in business?
At some point the Judge will increase the amount of the fine if (when) Trump continues to fail to comply. Possibly on an exponential basis?
And then he pays a bunch of money to make the case go away right before trial.
He even thought that would work with Mueller too.
If only they expended half of the energy that they expend wringing their hands on, say, supporting a candidate or helping a GOTV drive. Just a thought…
It doesn’t? Ah, maaaaaaaan…
Civil judgment for the accrued fines. And the possibly applicable criminal charge under NY state law would appear to be obstructing governmental administration, but it’s only a misdemeanor.
ETA: There is also the Alex Jones model, whereby the refusal to comply makes the defendant lose the case entirely, but I don’t think the AG has actually sued Trump for any unpaid taxes yet.
I’m good with that.
Also good with a heart attack, any day now, while straining for a bowel movement.
Elon Musk closes deal to buy Twitter for $44B. Trump will be back - licketty split for sure.
Well, bye-bye Twitter.

As far as I know, this hasn’t happened to Trump before, and sure, he’ll wail loudly about the unfairness of it all. But all he has to do is turn over some documents. One has to wonder, if he’s not guilty, what’s the problem?
Exactly. He is guilty and running scared. If he had nothing to hide he would release the docs.
Good. He is contemptable

True. Trump will be released on pretrial detention, and he’ll stroke out before sentencing.
Yes, please.
You know what will happen if he does? Some of our most determined Debbie Downers will immediately tell us that he didn’t suffer and went straight to Billionaire Heaven.

he didn’t suffer and went straight to Billionaire Heaven.
For the religious types, that would be hard to believe. Been a long time since my indoctrination but I remember something about it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get in to heaven.
I may not be remembering correctly, plenty of brain cells killed over the years.

LOL because true. The DDs are all in on disaster outcomes for Dems. Look how they endlessly attack Merrick Garland no matter what he does.
