The Convictions of Donald J. Trump: lol

This could play against him in a major way though. That’s how you end up with stuff getting liquidated at very low levels triggering the agreements he has with lenders. The liens on his various property could easily result in him just getting absolutely dogpiled by creditors all at once. This is absolutely how a house of cards collapses on itself.

So Melania’s apartment is live to getting seized?

That would be absolute chefs kiss. Trump can keep Mar a Lago for all I care if we get some good drama out of this

Yeah, I suppose, but again, if he’s sitting in the Oval Office with the full power of the US government behind him, and he is corrupt as hell, ,what lender would dare?

NYC has some of the most pro-tenant laws in the country, so she’s live to be able to live there for many more years before actually getting evicted if she wants to.

That might actually tilt Trump even more.

Tish should just seize it and convert it to subsidized affordable housing targeted at POC and new immigrants. That would tilt him more than anything.

But she’s not a tenant, right? Does that make a difference?

TheHip41 · March 19, 2024, 5:15am

Right she’s the spouse of the guy that got a judgment. Sorry can’t take that my wife and kids live there. Makes no sense.

Jman220 · March 19, 2024, 10:27am

Doesn’t make a difference. It takes a long time to evict a post-foreclosure holdover as well.

Sure feels like some attempt to get this money is going to the “we got him” felony/espionage/treason

Kind of impressive for Tish James that out of everyone, she’s been the only one to actually be able to touch Trump.

In leopards-eating-faces news:

Donald Trump appears to have cut Alina Habba out of a recent legal settlement, leaving one of his most prominent attorneys vulnerable to being sued for fraud.

Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, paid $82,500 last week to settle a lawsuit brought by former waitress Alice Bianco, who alleged that she was tricked into an unfair hush-money deal after being sexually harassed by a supervisor. The settlement contract included a bizarre and hugely significant line that stated both “parties agree that Alina Habba is not a party to this release,” The Daily Beast reported Tuesday.

This could prove dangerous for Habba, because according to the original lawsuit, she posed as a concerned friend to Bianco and offered her free legal advice about how to proceed regarding the harassment. But Habba quickly turned around, leveraging the relationship and “fraudulently inducing” Bianco to “quickly agree to unconscionable and illegal terms”—and ingratiating herself with Trump in the process, according to the lawsuit.

“My client is certainly considering suing her for fraud,” Bianco’s lawyer Nancy Erika Smith told the Beast last week. She said she was already in touch with Habba’s personal attorney.

In fact, Bianco is also gearing up to sue Bedminster again. The settlement, which Bianco signed on March 4, allows her to keep her minuscule $15,000 hush-money payment from 2021. Her lawyer won her the $82,500 settlement, and Bianco can throw out her nondisclosure agreement.

“We got everything we asked for,” Smith said. “We asked to void the agreement, that she not pay back. I didn’t want her to pay me a dime. So we got that. And she still has the right to sue Alina Habba for fraud. And she has the right to sue the club for sexual harassment.”

I’ve watched enough Suits to know that is just good hard lawyering. Also not sure where “serious trouble” falls on the trouble scale. Big trouble? God forbid she gets a letter in her permanent record!

So America owns Trump Tower now? I guess that’s cool.

Tbh it feels like a lot of this whole thing is just so they can have the sweet sweet photo op of them prying those golden bold letters off of that building in Manhattan.
