Letitia James’ criticism of Trump bond is baseless and malicious

Is state Attorney General Letitia James solely focused on attacking Donald Trump?

She is now targeting the former president for posting the bond on the $454 million civil-fraud judgment she obtained against him in February, a necessary step for him to appeal.

Last week, Trump submitted the $175 million bond to temporarily prevent James from seizing Trump Tower and other assets while he continues to challenge the ruling in an appeals court.

However, James is not satisfied with this. The AG’s office has filed paperwork demanding proof within 10 days that Trump or the insurer can meet the bond, citing concerns about its sufficiency.

This action only complicates the appeals process and adds unnecessary legal hurdles for Trump in a civil case without any victims.

It is important to note that this case revolves around whether Trump overvalued assets to secure loans that he fully repaid.

These were loans from competent bankers who understood the need for their own due diligence before approving them.

Although James is confident in the failure of Trump’s appeal, she appears concerned that a capable appellate court may expose her prosecution as a calculated effort to “go after Trump” through legal warfare tactics.

Tish has become the Wile E. Coyote to Trump’s Road Runner, setting traps and decoys to hinder the former president, making New York’s legal system appear questionable in the process.

If this judgment stands, anyone considering business in New York must consider the risk posed by politicians abusing the law to target them, potentially leading to decreased investment in the state.

Ultimately, all New Yorkers will feel the impact of James’ quest for headlines and ambition.
