But, he didn’t post a bond, so he still owes the court.

    but by then he hopes to Pardon himself as president

    I wish him luck pardoning himself on state charges. The state of NY don’t give a fuck and will start seizing his assets.

      He ain’t paying shit if he’s president, he will conduct himself like a little Putin / Kim Jong Un and nobody will be able to arrest or stop him. He’ll retaliate through every legal or illegal means available to prevent any enforcement of such a verdict.

      He cannot be allowed to become President. He will destroy the rule of law in this country.

        Considering his freedom after a widely televised insurrection, kinda looks like “rule of law” has already been destroyed in your country 🧐

        The people Who Are Supposed To Know Better need to figure out what they’re going to do when that happens because if this demented rapist is set to lie about defending The Constitution for a second time well, then he thinks he’s a king . . . And we don’t play that. Failure by the FBI, failure by the DCI, failure by the DoJ - we live in this country to chew gum and not have a king. And we’re about out of gum.

        Merrick! Wake up! Phone’s ringing, Dude.

      This is why they need things like the Florida State Guard and the Oathkeepers and why they’re inviting confrontations between the Texas National Guard and border patrol. Their plan is not based on anything legal; their plan is “we have big guys with guns and we’ll shoot you if you try to enforce the law.”

      If this runs to conclusion and the verdict stays, most likely the banks that where duped will request the difference between what he paid and what he should have paid if they knew the true financial reality, if they would have lent to him at all.

      The lying on real estate value most likely also influenced the prices of other real estate to be higher. So people that bought real estate will also have been influenced. They will have a hard time proving it, but the downstream effects will be there.
