Judge Engoron not only REJECTED Donaldās new attempt to have his Trump Org fraud trial tossed, but he also laid out PUNISHING zingers in his decision that I didnāt want you to miss. Read on.š
I just read Judge Engoronās latest decision against Donald, and itās wild! Trump's legal team just got roasted harder than Jerry Lewis at the Friarās Club (thatās for you Boomers ā¤ļø).
For your reading pleasure, I have assembled a list of all of Judge Engoronās best burns below! Donald and his lawyers are going to need some aloe vera:
āA Lie is Still a Lieā
"Valuing occupied residences as if vacant, valuing restricted land as if unrestricted, valuing an apartment as if it were triple its actual size, valuing property many times the amount of concealed appraisals, valuing planned buildings as if completed and ready to rent, valuing golf courses with brand premium while claiming not to, and valuing restricted funds as cash, are not subjective differences of opinion; they are misstatements at best and fraud at worst."
Donaldās āExpertsā
Donald's expert "is a tenured professor, but all that his testimony proves is that for a million or so dollars, some experts will say whatever you want them to say."
āThe most glaring flaw is to assume the testimony of (the) defendantās expertsā¦ is true or accurate.ā
Donaldās attempts to toss his case are frivolous
āIn their zeal to āprotect the record,ā (the) defendants yet again raise the specter that (the) plaintiff has no standing and no capacity to bring the instant action. This Court has confidence that the Court of Appeals can easily reach and determine those arguments, which personify frivolity.ā
Donald spent $1,000,000 on a witness with zero credibility
āBy doggedly attempting to justify every misstatement, Professor Bartov lost all credibility.ā
Donald is Losing
āIn denying that (previous) motion, this Court noted that the evidence of wrongdoing already admitted into evidence was voluminous.ā
Merry Early Christmas
Donald wanted a golden get-out-of-trouble free card, but all Engoron had for Donald was a lump of coal at the bottom of his stocking.
Lookā¦ it is totally fine to engage in a little Schadenfreude when terrible people who wish us all harm finally get some measure of justice meted out to them.

It seems that many of the judges hearing Trump motions and cases are making it clear that Trump is not above the law and it's so very good see this. I think the judges hearing the Meadows appeal also made it clear that overthrowing an election is not part of the job description for Meadows, and by extension, not part of Trump's former job.
Thank you, Mary, you work tirelessly and it is truly appreciated. I am impatient and want Judge Engoron to rule now, hoping it is a very high dollar amount.
