'No more tricks up the Trump legal team’s sleeves': Why the ex-president’s latest 'win' is temporary

Image
When a five-judge New York appeals court panel on Monday significantly cut Donald Trump's $464 million bond amount in the New York civil fraud case down to $175 million, and gave him ten more days to pay up — just hours before the deadline, legal experts were astonished by "the major lifeline" thrown to the former president . Former New York State Assistant Attorney General Tristan Snell "who successfully prosecuted the $25 million Trump University case," slammed the order as "special treatment," while ex-federal prosecutor and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said , "The verdict is in: the rules, the laws, and the Constitution do not apply to Donald Trump the way they apply to you and me." However, in an op-ed published by The Daily Beast, legal ethics and civil procedure expert Ray Brescia suggests despite Monday's win, Trump is "still in deep legal trouble" when it comes to both of his New York cases.

Trump has relinquished the presidency — and there's only one sane response

People ask me almost daily: “Can he really do this?” My answer: He’ll do anything he can get away with. He believes he can get away with anything as long as his Republican lapdogs remain in control of Congress, as long as congressional Democrats remain wimpy and disunited, as long as the Supreme Court immunizes him from prosecution, and as long as he feels he can disregard lower-court rulings with impunity. This is why it’s so urgent that We the People are rising up — making a ruckus at Republican town halls, phoning our senators and representatives so often we’re jamming congressional switchboards, joining our local Indivisible resistance groups, demonstrating, forming sanctuary communities, and boycotting corporations (such as Tesla and Target) that are caving to Trump. Another thing we can do is stop recognizing him as president. He may occupy the Oval Office, but he has repeatedly violated his oath of office to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United State...
