Federal Appeals Court Awards Trump Additional $122,000 in Attorney Fees From Stormy Daniels

by Christina Laila

 

The timing on this order is legendary.

 

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday awarded Trump an additional $121,962.56 in attorney fees from porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford. This is in addition to the $500,000 Stormy already owes Trump for her baseless defamation case against the former president.

 

The order came down from the federal appeals court just as Trump left court for his arraignment on charges stemming from so-called ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

Trump answers questions for 7 hours in NY fraud lawsuit

Associated Press, by Michael R. Sisak

 

NEW YORK— Former President Donald Trump answered questions for nearly seven hours Thursday during his second deposition in a legal battle with New York’s attorney general over his company’s business practices, reversing an earlier decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and remain silent. The Republican met all day with lawyers for Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump last year. Her lawsuit claims Trump and his family misled banks and business associates by giving them false information about his net worth and the value of assets such as hotels and golf courses.

Gonna need to sell more dildos...

 

And this moron said her biggest regret was sleeping with Trump.  Not, say, opening her gaping maw and violating the NDA she signed, leading to all this.  :rolleyes:

Damn.  I was hoping that we wouldn't break him before Nov 2024.  This looks bad for him.  Only civil but money is his God.

Giving a deposition looks bad? Since when? 
 

I’m not a lawyer but wouldn’t this case more appropriately be brought by someone who was actually damaged? How was the State or City be damaged by what’s being alleged?

not a lawyer either but pretty certain lost tax revenue is the damage from over and undervaluing property at different times to cheat.  His stonewall strategy has clearly changed.  He must not think that will work and therefore the evidence maybe very good.  I don't really know,  maybe one of our resident legal eagles can shed more light. Haven't heard a talking head analysis.

I thought the premise was that he OVER valued property to obtain loans against that portfolio. So the civil suit is that the State should’ve been able to use that higher value on taxes? Seems ridiculous. The State assesses property values in a different way than what someone might use as ‘value’ in seeking a business loan. Again, I’m not a lawyer but I refuse to believe that this exact sort of thing has not been looked at by the courts literally hundreds of times in the past. There must be a precedent.

 

And finally, if you’ve ever been involved in a civil suit you’d know that strategy of both the plaintiffs and defense can shift over time. It isn’t a sign of anything.

ROGER KIMBALL: Can Trump Clean The Augean Stables on the Potomac?

 

The indictment against Trump was formally brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. But the Journal is right. Smith is just an errand boy. “Americans will inevitably see this as a Garland-Biden indictment,” they noted, “and they are right to think so.”

 

Indeed. Elon Musk, no fan of Trump’s, put his finger on an essential element in this saga: “There does seem,” he wrote on June 8, responding to the indictment, “to be far higher interest in pursuing Trump compared to other people in politics.”

 

How’s that for understatement? Almost as good, I’d say, as his deployment of the future tense in his follow-up sentence: “Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust.”

 

That ship has sailed, I regret to say. Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is as corrupt as Hunter Biden’s laptop. Few people of either party trust it, nor should they. What we need now is a bold new Hercules who can cleanse the Augean stables on the Potomac. It seems unlikely, I know, and perhaps supremely ironical, but the name of that cleansing hero may just be Donald J. Trump.

 

 

Read the whole thing.

ya know, when i was in school (yawn),  G Gordon Liddy spoke about his new book which chronicled his prison time and burning his palm with a lighter to prove to other inmates not to F#$% with him.  And a cute girl a couple rows down held a sign that said "Crime Pays".  This reminds me of that.

And kind of why the money focuses so hard on the senate and presidential vote.  Dems have turned to a strange form of federalist the last few years.

I've heard it described as "proving his metal".  Perhaps I drew the conclusion that while in jail it was done to dissuade other inmates.  Maybe he said it.  It was 43 years ago.  My memory isn't what it used to be.  The guy is a psychopath and another powerful, crazy R that went to jail.

1. Trump agenda

While a lot can happen before the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump has already revealed the sheer extent to which he plans to wield executive power if reelected. Trump’s agenda, outlined on the campaign trail, includes a massive operation to detain and deport undocumented immigrants and a purge of the federal workforce of anyone deemed disloyal. Trump and his allies have also promised a sweeping transformation of the government that would utilize the power of federal law enforcement against political enemies. Meanwhile, Trump-aligned outside groups have been crafting executive orders, studying the Constitution in anticipation of legal challenges, and looking for ways to give Trump the means to invoke some of these policies on day one should he win a second term.

Trump's op-ed in Newsweek: "I Will Make America Great Again for Young People."

 

 

Excerpt:

Under Joe Biden, we are a nation in decline and rapidly losing the American Dream. But Biden's destruction of the American economy is just the beginning of his war on young people. The Radical Left has also unleashed shocking waves of violent crime and bloodshed...
