It is not professional at all
What's unprofessional about a prosecutor saying she'll prosecute criminals if elected to the office of prosecutor?

It's what prosecutors do.

and could bias things against him.
If Trump's legal team believed that, they could have argued it in court. Of course, to claim it now you'd have to prove that the judge displayed bias against Trump in his judgment. Can you?

She is NOT like everyone else....she is an AG.
So? AG's have freedom of speech too, ya know. They can voice their opinions same as everyone else.

If Engoron wasn't biased then there would be no reason to rule it as excessive and against the Constitution!
Did you read how they determined the amount of the disgorgement? Where was the bias in that determination?

It was a witch hunt pure and simple.
"Witch hunts" typically don't have a preponderance of evidence like this trial had. That's kinda why we call them that.

-- A2SG, have you seen what kind of evidence they didn't have against Rebecca Nurse or Giles Corey?

In a liberal State with a liberal judge and a liberal AG who ran on getting Trump...yep nothing to see here! No James declared Trump guilty before there even was a case! That is how witch hunts work!
No, that is how all prosecutions work. Unless you think prosecutors should go after people who they do not think are guilty just to see if they can get them convicted?

That's only because the court of public opinion doesn't require evidence before returning a verdict.

-- A2SG, though, it should be noted, no appeals court has overturned any of Trump's many fraud convictions....

Nothing wrong with that...what is wrong is her saying she is going TO GET TRUMP...in public...specifically TRUMP. Well we know it was found to be EXCESSIVE and against the CONSTITUTION. See Beria...that applies here...

No it isn't. She SPECIFICALLY said she was going to get TRUMP...not criminals in general. Dems thought they could stop Trump from running and getting elected...they were dead wrong.

The amount of the judgment may have been deemed excessive, but not the verdict.

Yeah, I like to think 2024 was more the Democrats losing than anything else. Democrats have long been infamous for mucking up a free lunch.

That changes what I said in what way? Nothing that I can see. If she believes him to be guilty why would she not state she was going after him? How is that wrong? Spell it out for me.

There is only one left, the highest appeals court in NYS which is the NYS Court of Appeals. It's isn't at all likely that the verdict will be overturned and the disgorgement may actually be reinstated though lessened. We shall see.

When did he commit fraud?
There was the Trump University fraud, the Donald J Trump Foundation fraud, and most prominently, the NYS business fraud both civil and criminal. And those are just the charged ones.

The Trump University fraud and the Foundation fraud have all been legally taken care of. The NYS business fraud are completely and totally bogus. The only ones who don't believe those are bogus are probably only the left wing liberals. But, for the sake of discussion. Let us assume that all of the progressive liberal attacks against President Trump are actually true. What does that say about Kamala Harris and the leadership of the Democratic Party which was roundly rejected by the vast majority of the voters in 31 states in the 2024 election?

You can always hope, I suppose. I just wouldn't advise holding your breath.

Why should he? He managed to commit 34 felonies without having to be held accountable for it. Heck, a portion of the electorate rewarded him for it!! Why should he change his criminal ways?

-- A2SG, he's proven himself to be above the law...as I'm sure he's always thought himself to be....

Yup, and Trump was proven guilty in both cases. Just as he was proven guilty of fraud in civil court and criminal court for other offenses.

The NYS business fraud are completely and totally bogus. The only ones who don't believe those are bogus are probably only the left wing liberals.
Well, them...and everyone who viewed the evidence. You know, like the jury. The only ones who don't believe Trump was guilty of fraud haven't viewed the evidence.

It all comes down to the evidence.

But, for the sake of discussion. Let us assume that all of the progressive liberal attacks against President Trump are actually true.

Democrats are more often than not their own worst enemy. Democrats have been saying that for decades.

The Democratic Party made a huge mistake when they weaponized lawfare against Donald Trump. As for the "evidence" in the 2024 court cases, most of that "evidence" is available to the public. And the majority of the voters soundly rejected that "evidence" as being factual.

The Democratic Party played no role in the prosecution of Donald Trump. Prosecutors at the state level did that. With evidence that proved his guilt.

As for the "evidence" in the 2024 court cases, most of that "evidence" is available to the public. And the majority of the voters soundly rejected that "evidence" as being factual.
Those who actually viewed it, like the jury, disagree.

I'd say that's what makes the difference. Those who view the evidence are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of guilt; those who haven't continue to believe what they've believed all along, without questioning it.

But, hey....if you feel the evidence provided the court is factually incorrect, feel free to refute it here. Maybe you can succeed at that where Trump's hand-picked legal team failed to.

-- A2SG, I suppose stranger things have happened.....
