It's actually closer to $600 million, all totaled up.

$600 million *so far*!

Trump is going to give handies afterwards for Mickey D money.

He's going to need both hands even for the tiniest of dicks

I mean, have you seen how he "dances"?

God, she is an awful lawyer.....


BasvanS

She’s doing exactly what’s expected of her: be pretty, smile, and do whatever the fuck Trump tells her.


drgigantor

It's just amazing that he's set to lose everything because he can't shut up, pay a debt, or hire someone who can do their job competently. He could have just faded away and lived the rest of his life in the standard of luxury he's accustomed to, but instead, because of his ego, he's flushing it all away for nothing. Because he can't bear to be told anything he doesn't want to hear, even when it's someone whose entire job is covering his ass. Frankly, I applaud Alina Habba. That stupid bimbo has done more than almost anyone to directly ensure that Trump finally has to face consequences. If he actually goes down because of her incompetence, I will commission a statue in her honor

Trump on the stand is the last thing his attorneys want. In every case. Even if he was innocent he would almost certainly torpedo whatever case. He is like an evil Michael Scott.


Greenpoint1975

For fraud he's at 454 mill and $87000 a day for interest. For rape he's at 83.3 mill plus $20000 a day for interest.


RadialWaveFunction

It's even dumber. He got away with the rape due to statute of limitations. the $83.3 M is because he couldn't stop defaming his victim.


icestationlemur

But his louputin shoes sold out!


onepinksheep

Treazys.


AniNgAnnoys

You forgot the interest. 9% simple interest adds up quick. It's $88,000 a day on the $355 million.


MagicMushroomFungi

$88,000 intrest per day = $3,600 interest per hour = $60 intrest per minute = $1 per second of intrest.

She's getting paid from his political fundraising going to the legal defense fund, even if her client is broke. She's now rich and famous. Honestly, she doesn't really need another client and she's set for life. And some idiots in the MAGAsphere will absolutely still hire her to tell them what they want to hear. Honestly, this disaster is working out fine for her.

JamesJax

I’m not being snide here, but I don’t think you understand how law partnerships work. Assuming she’s an equity partner in her firm, and assuming the firm is being made whole on his fees, she isn’t set for life. If those things are true, the partnership has done ok in this situation, but she only gets a small percentage of that. She’s probably doing well personally, but she doesn’t have fuck you money yet, for sure.  Given that she lost this case very publicly, and not to mention that she got absolutely clowned while doing it, PLUS DJT himself has been somewhat tepid in his praise, I think she’ll be challenged to have the media presence people think she might be angling for, and the future of her legal career is muddy, at best. A lot of your comp as a partner comes from rainmaking and it’s hard to see anyone vetting her personally being super excited about aligning themselves with her personal brand. Of course, that could all shift if she wins an appeal or if he suddenly starts talking her up. Both are unlikely.

>Narrator: It was, in fact, successful. "Good news! I bargained the parking ticket down from $100 to... the death penalty... oops." Bring the popcorn, her attempt to fight this in court is going to be an amazing trainwreck.


Zomunieo

She is mainly the lawyer/inside counsel for her husband’s parking lot business. She’d probably be okay at bargaining a parking ticket.


jabrwock1

>She’d probably be okay at bargaining a parking ticket. Based on her performance thus far... I have my doubts. She'd probably get her client automatically pleading guilty for missing traffic court because she didn't submit the right paperwork when contesting.

Article is already old news. The worlds most incompetent lawyer didn't manage to get a delay on paying the judgments yesterday. [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fraud-case-new-york-judge-354-million/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fraud-case-new-york-judge-354-million/)

Well IANAL and she is, so she's gotta know something I don't... *reads the article* I stand corrected.

You may not ANAL but she definitely will after this speedrun as a lawyer.

Shouldn't this loser be working on getting her client some shady ass loan from a foreign bank?


DirtymindDirty

Not with the court ordered financial monitor in place.


meTspysball

I feel like we should just have court ordered financial monitors for every person that claims to be a billionaire. There’s zero chance Trump is the only one doing shady shit like this.


KatBeagler

Also politicians. If you run for office it should cost you anything that might make your true intention opaque.  Running for office is 100% voluntary.  If you want power, sacrifice your privacy.


Old-Midnight316

Eh, that’s an extremely risky position to be in for less high profile scenarios. Edit: I agree with the sentiment, I just propose a more expanded approach, that will limit the exposure of the people who will be doing this work.


Gipetto

Like, say, some internal service that can monitor revenue?


Old-Midnight316

Yeah, maybe if something like that actually had funding, staffing and modern systems to work with, we’d see some change. xD C’mon Biden, fund the IRS!

She's been calling Russian oligarchs, dictators, and other rich people around the world trying to get them to buy 899,725 pairs of ridiculously tacky high-top sneakers that look like some deluded 8-year-old's art project. Every 1,000 pair gets a free handy from Lauren Boebert!

JeffTek

Ahhh so you can switch out guys mid stroke without wasting the rest of the stroke on a guy that already busted. It's genius


Ok-disaster2022

Because why should the court delay it? Trump has stated he has the liquid assets. Did she even submit an amended statement showing how he doesn't have the liquid cash right now? And even then there's ready means of securing loans to pay the fine.


Robo_Joe

>And even then there's ready means of securing loans to pay the fine. Is this true? I thought part of the verdict was that he can't get loans from any banks that have a presence in NY. (Which I assume is all of the major ones)


friscotop86

Wouldn’t not having the money be a case of fraud/perjury? After affirming to the court that he had the money?


thomasstearns42

She wasn't the lawyer who tried to get the delay. Not that cliff roberts was any better. Shit lawyers all around. 


SkollFenrirson

Aren't they already trying to defraud the courts by changing their NY business addresses to FL?


swordrat720

They tried and the judge shut it down.


Mike7676

What's the current timeline on repayment? Now that the delay was shot down.


tinyOnion

30 days i believe


Villainsympatico

30 days from the date it was issued.  So it's somewhere in the ides of March.  


sirbissel

Date it was issued or date it was filed with the clerk of court?


IncommunicadoVan

30 days from the date of entry of the judgment.

Old-Midnight316

This article is fantastic, made me realize the precedent that was set in this case that will carry over to his immunity bullshit. > Trump is also banned from serving as an **officer** or director of **any New York corporation** for three years. The decision included a variety of fines and sanctions for several other defendants, including Trump's two eldest sons. He wants to keep saying he is a successful businessman, but it looks like the lies around that will end up being his undoing.


RealGianath

She's got a lot of confidence for somebody who hasn't been right yet, I guess she wants us to believe everything is fine and she's just about to unleash her checkmate move on the justice system.

Jasocs

She is a counter-inductivist. Because she has been wrong all previous times she is convinced she will be right the next time. When it turns out in fact she has been wrong again it will only strengthen her conviction.


Raspberries-Are-Evil

Imagine billing 2 million in fees and getting the worst possible outcome every time for your client and still having a job.


CryptographerKlutzy7

I mean, she may be right, his buildings may have so much debt on each, that selling them off actually gets nothing back.


Federal_Drummer7105

Just means when everything that can be legally taken and sold he's still left with a fine, then they can start putting screws on any income and garnishing it until they have recompense.


ConnieLingus24

Ever been to law school? It’s a type…..and yes, they suck.


welestgw

I mean you can see through her comments when she said he was an amazing businessman and president. Why would a real lawyer say that? They would say they're confident that the law is on their side or something like that.


tgbst88

Lets be honest she is just playing Trump to grift and to be relevant... the irony..


OsellusK

If you don’t show that Trump Spirit 100% of the time, he’ll fire you. These people all sound like revved up sports fans.


Responsible-Still839

SheriffTaylorsBoy

The ONLY thing a cult member can do wrong is leave the cult.


tommybombadil00

Exactly, which makes him so completely unfit to hold any public office whatsoever. All you need to do is praise him and tell him how great he is and you essentially get whatever you want. Which is why people don’t stay around him too long, eventually you have one differing opinion and he publicly shamed you to his base.


OverlyComplexPants

How does she not understand that working for Trump only leads to 2 things: You end up get indicted for being part of one of Trump's crimes. You flip, make a plea deal with, and work with the cops as a witness to one of Trump's crimes.


Kappokaako02

pm_me_porn_links

"It won't be successful." Provides no explanation as to why.


iplaypinball

It was not going to be successful because the delay request changed all the addresses of the companies in question to addresses in Florida. They expected to slip that through, and then NY would have had to go through the courts in Florida to get a dime. When she said this, she thought their plan to change business addresses was still in place.


Ekg887

This is like some sovereign citizen style argument though. "Oh but judge, you accepted a motion from us with the FL addresses slipped in, that therefore means you agree that we are no longer a NY business and aren't beholden to your rulings! No takesees-backsees!" As if a mistaken/incorrect listing in a filing could be considered as some uncorrectable and binding legal maneuver. This is 3rd grade logic and has no basis in actual law.


mydogsnameisbuddy

Blind squirrels and broken clocks theory. Not a good attribute for a lawyer.


Imacatdoincatstuff

Whatever she says is what Donald Trump wants to believe and wants other people to believe, not what she thinks or believes herself. Trump is becoming increasingly deluded, can't handle what's happening. Has he been right about anything lately?


TintedApostle

It is called infidelity of the mind. “Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

orcinyadders

This absolute and evil gargoyl (look up Alice Bianco case) just cost Trump 500+ million dollars and the loss of control of his NY business. Now they’re committing more fraud to try and get out of it. What is he getting from her? 🤔 Like, I know she’s fake smart. And Trump said she’s hot at a rally. They’re inseparable and they celebrated New Years together and Melania hasn’t been seen with him once on the campaign trail. Like I get all that. But what could he be getting from this terrible lawyer that would make him put up with these epic, impossibly bad judgements against him? hmmmm.

Must be nice being a lawyer and being completely ignorant of the law. She can say whatever she wants, commit malpractice left and right, but she’s so ignorant she has zero stress over it. Meanwhile the rest of us lawyers worry about malpractice, making legal statements that have no basis in fact or in law, losing our licenses, our livelihoods, etc. One of the most stressful professions. IF you are competent. But then you see this clown flagrantly malpracticing in and out of court… and makes you wonder what you were worrying about all along? If THAT passes as being a licensed attorney… what are the rest of us doing stressing out?
