But god forbid we prosecute a wealthy white woman for perjury. That would just be beyond the pale.

    In addition, Engoron ordered an independent body to monitor the Trump Organization for the next three years. However, he didn’t cancel its business licences, which would have effectively shut down its activities in New York.

    Referring to the defendant’s behavior in his 92-page judgment, Engoron wrote: “Their complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological.”

    He later added: “The frauds found here leap off the page and shock the conscience.”

    Maybe if you are calling someone’s fraudulent actions borderline pathological, take away their business license. Just a suggestion. Nobody gives a shit that you are officially insulting them if your punishment is not backing that up.

      This is what makes zero sense to me. How the fuck can the court determine that they committed fraud for decades and show no remorse at all, in fact the lied and doubled down and then the fuckers basically get a telling off!?!? All the courts and judges have treated trump far more leniently than he deserved when he’s deliberately turned his appearances into circuses and showed complete disrespect to the courts.

        I think the general answer is to avoid any chance of mistrial - they found him guilty of SO much, and didn’t let their “bias” over punish him.

        Even 350million hurts him, and he still lost.

          No, instead they under punish so the mere implication of Trump getting a fair sentence doesn’t inflame his moronic base.
