Donald Trump discussion Thread IX (threadbanned users listed in OP)

One would like to think the wheel has turned full circle with decisions by SCOTUS not to weigh in on lower court decisions in respect to Trump camp followers.

SCOTUS rejected an appeal by Sidney Powell and six other lawyers allied with Trump over $150,000 in sanctions they were ordered to pay for abusing the court system with a sham lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in Michigan. The justices did not comment in leaving in place the sanctions against seven lawyers who were part of the lawsuit filed on behalf of six Republican voters after Joe Biden’s 154,000-vote victory over Trump in the state. The money is owed to the state and Detroit, for their costs in defending the lawsuit.

SCOTUS also declined to hear a constitutional challenge made by Marjorie Taylor Greene and two other GOP House Reps against fines levied against them by the House under its rules for refusing to wear masks on the Hill during the covid epidemic leaving two lower courts decisions against them to stand. Greene had fines levied against her Government officials salary up to $100,000 for breaching the house rules on the masks.

The recent finding regarding the property chicanery, I presume that was purely state damages? Or are private enterprises to be compensated by those monies? I ask as I wonder does it open the door for further litigation from those enterprises who may have been hurt by the fraud..?

It's hard to find genuine at face-value news items about Trump in the online print media nowadays as the media seems to be running competitions as to which can run stories bashing or praising him, sometimes even both in single outlets, on which to evaluate how he is doing in the eyes of the public.

A few days ago, there were several reports on a member of his family promoting the idea that the RNC should pay Trumps legal fees as he is was the GOP president and represented the party. This happened after some unidentified sources in the GOP ran with the idea in the media.

Cue a story in todays Daily Digest running a story that Rudy Giuliani is claiming that Trump and the RNC owe him US $2,000,000 in unpaid legal fees for cases he filed to challenge the 2020 election result.

Its worth noting that the Digest report seems to be based on a New York Post report.

That's a pity, I was hoping it'd drain money from the RNC and flow to Rudy's creditors instead.

Senator McConnell has announced his retirement from his position as the GOP Senate leader saying he will be serving out his term as a senator until Jan 2027 but from a different seat in the senate to the one he is occupying now, as he put it "albeit from a different seat in the chamber" which he will move to on a date in Nov next.

I want you to tell me in good faith why Nixon needed a pardon if he was already immune to prosecution? Do you honestly think Biden should be allowed to have Trump killed if he so wished? Russia style politics? Feel free to go after other presidents yourself if you can find what laws have been broken.

Not everyone lies on mortgage applications. Maybe you should have a chat with local law enforcement.

Biden returned documents, Trump attempted to hide them.

You ask for a good faith argument but it comes down to other people in the world have done crimes so why bother prosecute any? Which is obviously complete nonsense.

You might ask the Republican party members from all levels of US society who oppose Trump's attempts to change the voting procedures to stay in office and all mortgage applicants why they stay within the laws and small print when looking for loans from banks and finance bodies. Those Republicans and loan applicants seem to think the person elected to the Presidency should do as they do when it comes to complying with the law of the land instead of boasting about being the biggest crook in the land.

According to the internet media, Trumps legal team's latest request to the judge hearing the property fraud case against Trump is to suggest to the judge that because their client is so rich he really doesn't need to set a bond as instructed by the judge in order to ensure he stays withing the US or forfeit the bond.

It leaves me curious as to how much of Trump's net value and wealth is now banked within the US and how much of it has been transferred out of the US to banks and financial institutions based in countries he is on friendly terms with AND how much his value and wealth has been damaged by the scandals and court rulings against him.
