‘Not Likely To Happen': Jonathan Turley Pours Cold Water On Letitia James' Plans To Seize Trump's Assets
2024-03-25
[Daily Caller] George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Friday that former President Donald Trump was "not likely" to see his properties seized by Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York.

James filed judgments against Trump and others in Westchester County, New York, where Trump owns a private estate in Seven Springs and the Trump National Golf Club Westchester, Friday. Turley said that James could find seizing the properties much more difficult than she thought.

"These properties are partnerships, they have leveraged debt. All of that has to be unraveled," Turley told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. "So these aren’t just this, you know, one to one Trump versus James type of equation. So in order to seize that property, she’s going to be pulled into court, there’s going to be challenges. It’s not going to happen overnight. Everyone is celebrating this idea that she’s going to padlock Trump Tower. It’s not likely to happen, and it’s certainly not likely to remain very long."

Let me get my camera.

#3  James filed judgments against Trump and others in Westchester County, New York,

If I'm reading this right, James is trying to place a lien on these assets and the matter is pending. It's the first of many steps.

Many states have what is called a Property Bond.
The property is Seized/Forfeited, if the defendant fails to show. In NY its called a Secured Appearance Bond (Property-Defendant).

Keep in mind of the possible POLITICAL plan side to this Regime's obvious ran kangaroo court scenario. They could be setting up a way to hamper his Presidential Campaigning or the upcoming TV Biden/Trump Debate.

The Uber-Left Wing Democrat DA and/or Court could demand the restriction of Trump travels to the NYC or NY State area only.

#1  Not to mention there's going to be the mother of all 8th Amendment cases brought here. Even if she does take the buildings today - as pointed out, unlikely for a lot of reasons - it ain't over.
