After an appeals court ruled on Monday that Donald Trump could proceed with a much lower amount than the $454 million penalty against him in his civil fraud case, New York Attorney General Letitia James fired back at the former president.
“Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud. The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment – plus interest – against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands,” James said in a statement.
So true, except I would slightly modify this to be:
They almost always go hand-in-hand anyway. This was perfectly exemplified when Obama stated he would not be looking to prosecute W Bush for war crimes at Abu Graib, Guantanamo, etc. “We look forward, not backward.” Considering there is not future/thought crime, I’m pretty sure this logic is flawed as all crimes which have occurred occur in the past.
And then of course Obama proceeded to do extra-judicial killings of US citizens by drone strike.
We seriously need that criminal justice reform, as justice no longer appears to exist in our society at all.
