He wants to argue that paying a *advertiser censored* star to keep quiet about their extra-marital affair is presidential official business, huh? Wild.
BBM. That sickens me.The sad thing is for the people of this country, his antics have worked for him for years and will continue to do so- to think how easy our court system is to manipulate. All of his miserable lying corrupt life he has done this AND IT WORKS FOR HIM!!! That is the really awful part.

They were just discussing that issue on MSNBC- he wasn't even president ( he is so ridiculous)He paid her in Oct 2016. He took office in Jan 2017. How can he claim presidential immunity if he wasn’t even President (or even elected yet but not in office)? This makes no sense.
RSBMFormer U.S. President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay a six-figure legal bill to a company founded by a former British spy that he unsuccessfully sued for making what his lawyer called “shocking and scandalous" false claims that harmed his reputation.
It will keep on working for him. I can imagine him managing to get all charges delayed. Then he will be elected President and pardon himself and his croonies. If he loses the election, I won't be surprised if he encourages his supporters to respond with violence... far worse than what happened on that fateful Jan.6.The sad thing is for the people of this country, his antics have worked for him for years and will continue to do so- to think how easy our court system is to manipulate.

He has already said if he loses there will be a bloodbath- why doesn't he get arrested for inciting an insurrection?It will keep on working for him.

Donald Trump says he can’t obtain a bond for the full amount of the judgment (~$450M, including interest) in the civil fraud case.
30 underwriters declined.
“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

I'm not the poster who shared but I was able to open the link just fine. It is a PDF of the Defendant's filing of a Reply Memorandum in Support of a Stay Pending Appeal. Here is a link to an article containing several statements from Trumps attorneys.I can not access this link provided - says security risk... is there another link? TIA!

Former President Donald Trump can’t find an insurance company to underwrite his bond to cover the massive judgment against him in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case, his lawyers told a New York appeals court.
Trump’s attorneys said he has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond, which is due by the end of this month.
“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. (Trump himself was ordered to pay $454 million; the $464 million includes the disgorgement for his adult sons Don Jr. and Eric.)
An insurance broker, Gary Giulietti, who testified for Trump during the civil fraud trial, signed an affidavit stating that securing a bond in the full amount “is a practical impossibility.”

I will answer my own question: Donald Trump is in fact above the law: he gets away with everything that anybody else would be thrown in jail/prison for. I am not counting on our court system to finally give him the justice he so richly deserves: he plays the courts like a fiddle--- God forbid he should win the election.He has already said if he loses there will be a bloodbath- why doesn't he get arrested for inciting an insurrection?
