The attacks against President Trump are off the charts and utterly absurd. In every case, the radical regime puppets are using “unprecedented” or “little known” laws to go after him. It truly is a political witch hunt and a disgusting stain on our nation. And when the left-wing radicals aren’t trying to put Trump away in prison for the rest of his life, they’re trying to confiscate his entire real estate empire based on some loony-tunes fraud law they’ve dug up to use against the man. It’s so convoluted and over the top that the Washington Post’s raging, Trump-hating Ruth Marcus is even calling “foul” and claiming it’s gone too far.

Washington Post:

Certainly, Trump should be held accountable for any misconduct. I have no qualms about ordering Trump to pay up for his chicanery — New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million — and that’s what the trial now underway will determine. I’ll be cheering when Trump is ordered to write a big check.

Clearly, this isn’t about genuine “justice” or the rule of law, but rather about liberals with an extreme case of TDS seeking emotional appeasement. Yet, a few of these folks still possess enough clarity to recognize what a total joke this entire thing is. Marcus continues:

But forcing the sale or other disposition of his businesses, as the judge ordered in his opinion last week, seems both unnecessary and unduly punitive, disproportionate to the offenses charged. And I worry that this consequence would not have been meted out to another defendant who engaged in similar misconduct.

Indeed, Marcus hit the nail on the head with that last point. This wouldn’t happen to just any defendant. It’s not about the law; it’s about targeting a man leading one of the biggest political movements in the country. Ruth Marcus drones on:

In the lawsuit filed last year against Trump, his adult sons and associated businesses, James alleged that Trump had systematically inflated the value of his holdings, by as much as $2.2 billion in a single year, to induce banks to lend him money on more favorable terms and to obtain better insurance coverage.

One particularly Trumpy instance: The financial statements he submitted to lenders and insurers asserted that Trump’s own triplex apartment in Trump Tower was 30,000 square feet; in fact, it is (a mere) 10,996.

James’s office relied on a remarkably powerful New York statute known as Executive Law Section 63 (12), which provides the attorney general power to go after “persistent fraud or illegality” in business transactions, and “in an appropriate case, canceling any certificate” to do business in the state.

It’s important to note that the judge in this case is a flaming Democrat who believes he has the authority to override juries when he feels their verdicts don’t align with his personal emotions regarding the trial. Ruth continues:

Ruling last week, Justice Arthur Engoron (in New York, the Supreme Court is the trial-level court) agreed with James’s claims and said the trial would proceed solely on the question of how much money Trump will be required to disgorge. In the meantime, Engoron ordered the business certificates canceled for “any … entity controlled or beneficially owned” by Trump or his sons. He provided that a receiver would be put in place “to manage the dissolution of the canceled” businesses.

To read Engoron’s ruling is to appreciate his justified impatience with Trump’s shenanigans and recalcitrance. “Even with a preliminary injunction in place, and with an independent monitor overseeing their compliance, defendants have continued to disseminate false and misleading information while conducting business,” he wrote. Such “ongoing flouting” of court orders, “combined with the persistent nature of the false [statements of financial condition] year after year, have demonstrated the necessity of canceling the certificates.”

Still, this is an extraordinary remedy — unusual for any business but particularly dire, if not fatal, in the situation of a real estate empire that can’t physically leave the jurisdiction to operate elsewhere.

It’s obvious there’s a strong push to tear down everything President Trump built simply because he chose to run against those he already defeated in 2016 and 2020. The regime is sending the 45th president and everyone watching a message: We will crush you if you challenge us. More from WAPO:

“This is a version of business law capital punishment,” said Columbia Law School professor Eric Talley, a corporate law expert. “I’m not aware of a precedent at this scale.” Talley said he was particularly struck by the judge’s move to cancel all Trump-related business licenses in the state, not just those involving the overvalued properties.

Legal experts are struggling to grasp this, naturally, since they’re approaching it as if it’s “legitimate.” In reality, it’s just political punishment and revenge, plain and simple, and there is no sense or logic—it’s blind hatred and knee-jerk reactions. The WAPO piece concludes:

Lee Bergstein, a real estate lawyer and veteran of the New York attorney general’s office, agreed. “Legal experts are trying to grapple with this in real time because to the extent that this remedy has been utilized before it hasn’t been utilized for a remedy of this scale and scope,” he said.

This WaPo reporter’s acknowledgment doesn’t change anything. Mind you, this is the same woman who did this “Karen move” back in 2021:

The fact is, it’s even more insulting to see our media, so driven by irrational hate towards one man, dismiss a very clear political weaponization of our entire judicial system. Instead, they write some softened admission, probably due to professional guilt or fear about the future when Democrats aren’t in power anymore. The truth is, the majority of Americans recognize what’s really going on and the reasons behind the continued attacks on President Trump during an election year. It’s not just about him; they’re also trying once again to suppress our voices, much like they did in 2020 and 2022. This pattern is becoming all too familiar in the U.S.—where our nation, judiciary, and elections have turned into a circus that very few have faith in anymore.
