Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY.) warned Sunday there is a “risk” to not seizing former President Trump’s assets as he faces a looming deadline to post a bond in the $454 million judgment in his New York fraud case.
“I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trump and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets,” Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,” she said. “We’ve seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with Truth Social and other means. And there’s a very real risk of political corruption.”
The deadline for Trump to pay the staggering bond amount is Monday in the New York fraud case. If he fails to post a bond, he faces a risk of his assets being seized by New York Attorney General Letitia James — who he has continued to rail against in recent days.
Your mistake was not running for president first. You can basically do what you want once you’re president, wipe your ass with the constitution, plan political assassinations, dream to your hearts content bcz being president in the U.S. means the laws are made up and they don’t matter, as long as you are or used to be president.
Yeah, that’s something I’ve been wondering about… So Trump is arguing that Biden should be allowed to assassinate him?
Obviously not as that would conflict with: rules for thee but not for me
Don’t think that’s what he means, but yes, that’s what his argument boils down to.
To be fair, that’s a mistake that the vast majority of people are guilty of.
