I'm old enough to remember when cheating on your wife with a porn star while the wife was in the hospital giving birth to your son would have tanked your political career.

 

Instead, we now have people cheering him on for his crimes and hoping he escapes accountability.

 

This species needs a reboot.

Wrong case. This topic is about a civil case. The 'crimes' as above is the criminal cases with the 34 counts as 'guilty'.

Massive civil fraud verdict against Trump gets frosty reception at New York appeals court
A panel of judges voiced skepticism about the size and validity of the nearly half-billion-dollar judgment

09/26/2024 06:42 PM EDT

NEW YORK — Appeals court judges appeared to question the legitimacy of the civil fraud case against Donald Trump as the former president urged the court Thursday to overturn a judgment against him that has ballooned, with interest, to more than $478 million. ...

During oral arguments on Thursday, some members of the five-judge appeals court panel suggested that New York Attorney General Tish James had overstepped by using the particular New York fraud statute she used to bring the case against Trump. As soon as Deputy Solicitor General Judith Vale, arguing for James, began her opening remarks, she was cut off by Associate Justice David Friedman, who questioned whether her office had ever before used the statute “to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners.”

Associate Justice Llinet Rosado chimed in once Friedman finished to add, “and little to no impact on the public marketplace.”
