    I’m not seeing this covered in any major outlets. Anyone got a reliable source?

    I saw someone ask a question that interests me. If he submits his original financial statement, is that fraud? If he submits a revised statement, is that an admission of guilt?

    I’m going to say it probably won’t matter at all, but it amuses me to think he might have crafted a perjury trap for himself.

      He’s already been found guilty, admitting it at this point shouldn’t matter legally. IANAL

      There’s nothing to gain from this, though. If he fails within the deadline to post his bond he just gets his appeal denied. Hopefully. At last.

        I heard people say something similar about the last deadline before it got extended and reduced

        Also the deadline is what, Friday? Sounds like another delay tactic so he can scream about the rigged courts not accepting his bond if the deadline passes and James starts collecting on the debt.

            Doesn’t even matter does it? They will just keep breaking the rules for him. Justice is not only blind but hog tired or seems.

      Dear white Jesus and Santa, please let trump file a fraudulent financial report as part of his bond filing. It would make me so happy. I promise to be good this year.

      Well it means Trump’s financials will become public. Meaningless to you, but not to him it seems.

        As said elsewhere, the bond company needs to share their financials. So not the Trump financials. This to ensure that the bond company has enough money for the bond.

          Yeah, this boils down to “does the bond company have the money and was the bond issuer authorized to issue the bond”

          It will get interesting if they for whatever reason can’t provide these two formalities, but I’m not holding my breath.

    This is who Trump surrounds himself with, opportunists who smell a buck and who know they don’t have what it takes to make this kind of money honestly, so they just wing it.
