Judge in Trump's NY fraud case denies request for delay in payout
Source: Salon

On Wednesday, attorneys for Donald Trump requested a 30-day postponement of the $355 million fine handed down in last week's conclusion of the Trump family's NY fraud trial and, one day later, their request was firmly shot down.
In an emailed response, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered what Law and Crime refers to as a resounding No, explaining to Trump's defense team that they "have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay," adding that he plans to sign a judgment proposed by the state that finalizes his ruling.
A quick visit to Truth Social Trump's preferred sounding board for firing back at decisions against his wishes such as this one reveals no direct statement other than a share of a Fox News article with his added quote, New York Resident Greg Gutfeld Threatens to Move to Florida Over Trump Being Fined for Fraud." Will have to check back later for what is sure to follow.

But we don't know how well the CIA is functioning right now.

The -ahem- is because the CIA frequently steps way outside of its authorized zones.

(94,610 posts)Assuming 1) he had kept documents the FBI didn't find or 2) he had made copies of everything, his material is 4 years old. Not likely to draw a large profit.

(22,037 posts)The first level, as you wrote, is the specific data in the document. This could be battle plans, political insights, financial or personal information or more. This is generally time-sensitive in that the information will likely become stale or irrelevant as circumstances change.
The second level, which is often more important, reflects the methods and sources of the information. These may still be operative and continuing to provide up to date data. These sources are usually included in classified documents to buttress the information contained in the document. This is really important information and needs to be protected.
If Trump knows who our spies are in Russia, that would be very valuable to Putin, as one example. This is why Trumps retaining of classified material is so serious.

(47,140 posts)Many immature males think that when a woman says no, that she is just teasing.
I actually saw a research study along these lines. Asking college age males
what women mean when they say no to sexual advances. Their answers were
astonishing.
This was some years ago, I am hoping young men are more enlightened today.

Don't forget the very same man later committed incest with those very same girls and made Hapsburg babies with them.
Was still considered 'Holy'.

(111,282 posts)before the ink is dry on that merger contract. That's where he's got a place to raise real cash. His properties are mortgaged up the gazoo and won't bring much. It's the cash he's got in the market where the money will come from.
Otherwise, he'd be selling his properties at fire sale prices to raise cash and he's not doing that. He knows damned full well the creditors get paid first and he'd net relatively little to pay off his fine.
Meanwhile, that 9% interest is adding up. He'd better act sooner rather than later. I imagine anyone who knows what his major stock holdings are is dumping them quietly, knowing TFG will have to sell at a loss and ready to snap them up.

(9,764 posts)Yep, he said it.
On Edit. We must be fair to Trump this was about sexual assault not fraud.
"You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women," Trump said, according to Woodward.

(22,037 posts)Let me get this straight. Gutfeld is butt-hurt because Trump was proven to be a monumental fraudster so Gutfeld is going to move out of New York State because they enforce the laws.
Goodby, Greg. Im vaguely aware that youre one of the Fox News idiots. Why would you think that any one of New Yorks 20 million residents would give a damn where you live? This level of self-importance is ridiculous.
Its also bullshit. Fox is based in Manhattan on Sixth Avenue. Theyre not going anywhere and neither is Gutfeld. Its all performative BS.

That might be a quick source for raising funds to pay his court judgements against him.
