You heard that right — President Trump’s civil fraud conviction brought by New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, looks to be in question!  The panel of five Justices on the NY Appellate Court handling Trump’s appeal seem very close to overturning the conviction all together — to the point that their discussion includes how to ensure the Attorney General doesn’t stray this far out of her lane in the future!

From what I have heard of the full hearing (I will put the video of the full hearing in question at the bottom), almost all of the discussion between the Justices and the Prosecutors is primarily fixated on two things:

  1. Under what criteria was Letitia James allowed to bring this case to begin with.
  2. Leticia’s lawyers arguing why the attorney’s who brought the case should not be sanctioned for bringing the case to begin with!

Listen to this!

The panel certainly doesn’t seem likely to allow the conviction to stand at this point, and as the Floridian Press reports in a story covering the hearing, one of the issues that was raised by Judge Peter Moulton was whether the lawsuit simply turned into something it wasn’t intended to be, as the process moved forward.

A New York appeals panel has reportedly signaled its skepticism towards a $500 million fraud conviction brought against former President Donald Trump earlier this year.

New York Attorney General Letitia James successfully brought civil fraud charges against President Trump earlier this year, securing a $354 million judgment against the latter plus an additional $100 million in interest.

Now, a New York appeals panel seems doubtful that Trump’s conviction is legally sound.

Judge Peter Moulton reportedly questioned if James’ lawsuit morphed into “something it was not meant to do.”

Specifically, Moulton remarked the nearly $500 million requested of Trump is an “immense penalty” that “is troubling.”

Trump lawyers have consistently held the charges and subsequent conviction are unjustifiable and often criticized by AG James and trial judge Arthur Engoron during the civil trial.

Amazingly, it finally seems as though the lawfare against President Trump, at least in this case, may be nearing an end!  Does this signal a change in the weather, so to speak, in those bringing case after case against President Trump?

Are the judges finally reading the tea leaves, and realizing that they are likely treading in dangerous waters by allowing such illegitimate weaponization of the legal system against a man who very well may be the next sitting President — and sworn to FIX exactly this type of corruptions of our legal system?  Maybe.

Here’s the full text of John Cremeans’ post from above.

Democrats In Panic Mode: The appeals court in New York is on the verge of overturning the fraud case against Trump, and one of the judges suggested that the team may well be deserving of sanctions for a malicious prosecution and political interference! Letitia James may have overstepped her prosecutorial authority and the five-judge panel appears inclined to toss out the ruling and it’s almost $500 million fine.

The NY appellate argument ended with the State practically begging the 5-panel court not to sanction the attorneys that brought the action against Trump!

Their Lawfare may soon come to an end.

I have no doubt that Letitia did indeed overstep her prosecutorial authority — that is what President Trump has been saying all along, and that has been his lawyer’s primary argument from the beginning!  We may be about to see justice in this case, finally!

I would be remiss if I didn’t include this outlandish morsel of… I don’t even know what to call it — ridiculousness?  According to the New York Sun, Letitia James is actually considering running for the Mayor of New York City.

Reports that New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, is considering a run to replace the embattled Mayor Adams throws into sharp relief the stakes of her legal pursuit of President Trump — which could be set for a reversal.

The possibility of Ms. James mounting a bid for City Hall comes amidst a blizzard of crises for Mr. Adams and his administration, which has been afflicted with mounting attrition. The mayor has been charged with federal bribery and campaign finance offenses.

The precariousness of the Adams administration has started a game of chess involving a Who’s Who of New York’s power players, who, as is typical of the Big Apple, all seem to hate each other. Bad blood flows freely among Ms. James, Governor Cuomo, Trump, and Governor Hochul.

Ms. James, who campaigned for attorney general on a promise to go after Trump, could reckon that now is her time after a year in which she secured, if it stands up on appeal, a triumph in court that could bring the business empire of Trump, who has called her “corrupt” among many other imprecations, to its knees.

I have a feeling she may not be considering a run for the Mayor’s office as much as she might have been a week ago.  The ONLY thing she could have argued in her favor “was” that she had clinched a high-profile conviction against President Trump… as she set out to do.

Sorry, Letitia — it doesn’t look like that conviction is going to stay in the “win” column of your resume for much longer.  But I do suppose it will stay on your resume, for a long… long time.  Just, not in the “win” column.

And depending on whether the 5-Judge panel decides to come after you and your lawyers for wasting their time, making a mockery out of the justice system, and wasting untold piles of tax dollars chasing your unjust dream of a Trump conviction… there may not BE a “win” column to speak of on your resume much longer.

This story is still developing, and we will bring you updates and more information when it becomes available.

AS PROMISED… the full hearing in question!
