NEW: #Trump's lawyers, angry that Judge Engoron is apparently not going to allow motion practice on reducing his opinion to a formal judgment, demands a 30-day stay of any entered judgment instead. Shocked.
As Trump begs to stay enforcement of the not-yet-entered judgment, the AG’s office responds, reminding the court that Trump et al. already asked for that relief—and the court declined. Settle this now, and start the clock, they insist. #legal
@GottaLaff I'm wondering if the #Trump lawyer requested delay has anything to do with the SPAC closing in on the Truth Social acquisition. That is supposed to put $ Billions into Trump's pocket. I seriously don't think he has the $ to appeal right now. TY as always for your work to keep us informed Laffy.
@GottaLaff My understanding was that it was "approved", but not yet executed. There was also some question about whether there could be an anti-trust action against it. There's also some concerns about the investors and insider trading.
@GottaLaff
If he can't pay it, let me go ahead and start seizing buildings. He doesn't deserve even an iota of special treatment. He has had a lifetime of it. Time to pay up shithead.
My understanding is he's got 30 days after the judgment to appeal and to do that he must put up either 120% of the judgement or a bond for the same... which involves paying a big bond fee and finding someone stupid enough to trust him
@GottaLaff but he has the money. He testified to that himself. He has more than $400M in liquidity. There is no need for a delay. Nothing to organize that takes longer than 30 days. That's what LIQUIDITY means!
@GottaLaff While this is all entertaining as the clown patrol continues, i still worry one of these things is going to stick. I don't think T has a prayer of winning in November, but its crystal clear his plan is to delay everything until he wins, then use the power of hte presidency to anull all his convictions and prosecutions.
