Trump attorney Christina Bobb expressed her concerns about the recent actions taken by New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron. The duo is currently demanding that President Trump immediately surrender $355 million in cash as part of a controversial lawsuit against him. Bobb joined Eric Bolling on Newsmax to discuss what she sees as a blatant disregard for justice.
The situation in New York has escalated to the point where authorities seem to believe they have the authority to seize a person’s wealth and assets before they even have the chance to appeal a court ruling. Eric Bolling started the segment by highlighting what he sees as the Democratic Party’s overreach in manipulating the U.S. justice system.
Bolling pointed out that the actions of James and Engoron go beyond what the American people would expect in terms of fair play. Bobb agreed, emphasizing that the attempt to expedite the judgment without allowing Trump to exercise his constitutional rights in the appellate process indicates a recognition of wrongdoing on their part. She argued that their eagerness to bypass the appeals process suggests a fear of being overturned, leading them to resort to creating headlines and drama to harm the president further.
Bobb stressed the importance of the appellate process in ensuring a fair legal proceeding and referenced a previous case where Judge Engoron’s attempt to strip Trump of business licenses was overturned on appeal. She explained that irreversible damage could be inflicted without allowing the judicial process to play out, and that James and Engoron are intentionally sidestepping the court of appeals to impose irreversible harm on Trump.
Bolling suggested that James might be aiming to force Trump to forfeit one of his buildings before the appeals process concludes. Bobb concurred, emphasizing that the law includes the appellate process precisely to prevent irreversible harm before the justice system has had its say. She criticized the intent to inflict injury on Trump regardless of the court of appeals’ decision, highlighting a pattern of actions aimed at getting their desired outcome at any cost.
The conversation turned to the staggering amount of money demanded from Trump – $450 million with interest and additional fees. Bolling expressed disbelief at the exorbitant sum and questioned the sanity behind such a demand. Bobb echoed this sentiment, attributing the situation to what she called a “massive case of Trump derangement syndrome.” She pointed out the lack of justice in a case where there are no victims and no real damages, emphasizing that the penalty sought is outrageous given the absence of harm.
As the discussion wrapped up, Bolling questioned the potential use of the enormous sum by New York state. He speculated that it could be directed towards supporting immigrants and migrants entering the city, highlighting what he viewed as misplaced priorities. Bobb concluded by reiterating the staggering amount – $450 million – and emphasizing the lack of justification for such demands.
Eric Bolling: They’re going way over the line. They’re going past what American people expect. Fair play, bottom line. And this is nothing like that.
Christina Bobb: You’re exactly right. And the idea that they’re basically cutting off the appeals process and the fact that they’re trying to jam this judgment down his throat without his ability to use all of his constitutional rights of the judicial process, which includes the appellate process, to me, indicates that they know they’re wrong. They know they’re in the wrong, and that’s why they don’t want to allow the court of appeals to weigh in before they harm him more. And so they’re trying to cut off that process and just create more headlines and create more drama and create more turmoil for the president, knowing that they’re likely to get overturned. It’s shocking. I mean, I don’t know how many times we can use the word unprecedented, shocking, crazy before it sounds trite, but every next step that they take is shockingly worse than the last one.
Eric Bolling: …It feels like what she’s trying to get Trump to do is forfeit one of his buildings in advance of the appeals process just so she can get that, like, she can get that skin, that scalp that she’s looking for.
Christina Bobb: That’s exactly what she’s trying to do. And that’s exactly why the law allows for the appellate process. And that’s why Judge Engron was overturned earlier in this case when he tried to strip Donald Trump of his business licenses. That was overturned on appeal because they’re saying, hang on, that’s irreversible damage. So allow the judicial process, the justice system, to play out before you inflict an injury that is irreversible. And that’s what. You’re exactly right. What they’re trying to do is inflict injury on Donald Trump that can’t be reversed. They’re cutting off the appellate process and saying, we don’t care what the court of appeals says. We are going to get our pound of flesh from Donald Trump come hell or high water. Whether it’s just or not, they don’t care.
Eric Bolling: You got in a city in a state where they reduce felonies to misdemeanors like water, and they’re trying to stick Trump of the 350 with. By the way, folks, I said 450 because with interest and extra fees, they’ve got this thing, this bond that he has to post, up to $450,000,000, not 10% of it. The half a billion dollars. Are they insane?
Christina Bobb: Yes, they absolutely are. It’s a massive case of Trump derangement syndrome. There’s no semblance of justice here. I believe that this statute has been used about 150 times before in New York history, and this is the only case where there is no victim, there are no real damages. And I’d be willing to bet that this is one of the most outrageous penalties, despite the fact that nobody was hurt. So, yes, they’re quite literally insane.
Eric Bolling: Christina, say it again. Say it every single night here on this show. $450,000,000. It’s going to go to New York state. What are they going to do with that? There’s no victims. You know what they’re going to do? They’re going to use it for their love affair with the illegals, migrants that are coming into the city. Christina, I got to go. Appreciate your time. Christina. Bob, thank you so much.
