Trump's vast fortune could be wiped out by judge's startling ruling: legal analyst #RawStory

President Donald Trump could see his vast personal fortune wiped out by a judge's ruling relating to the January 6 Capitol Hill attack, a legal analyst wrote Sunday.

The insurrection occurred as Congress met to certify the 2020 presidential election results, which Trump had refused to accept. Veteran legal analyst Sabrina Haake believes that Trump could see his personal fortune wiped out should a judge rule he is personally liable for damages accrued during the insurrection.

Haake wrote, "Measuring the amount of corruption lining Trump’s pocket is like shoveling on a snowy day. As of late January, Trump had pocketed upwards of $4 billion from untraceable cryptocurrency ventures, suspicious market manipulations, and outright bribery from foreign and domestic sources during his first year back in office.

"He’d better be thinking on how to hide it, because U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta has ruled that Trump. Is. Civilly. Liable for the damages he caused on January 6, 2021."

Last month, Mehta ruled that Trump was not immune against civil claims for damages regarding Jan. 6.

"Judge Mehta’s cautious 79-page ruling denied Trump civil immunity through a careful analysis largely devoted to distinguishing between Trump’s criminal actions as an office-holder (official-acts immunity), and his actions in seeking office, which were not official acts and therefore are not immune.

"The decision carefully followed the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, and will allow claims against him from members of Congress and Capitol police officers to proceed to trial."

1. I hadn't heard about this ruling. Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

I guess it got buried behind all the chaos coming from the regime.

[sheshe2]

2. Cool.

That should keep him busy for a bit!

[GreenWave]

3. About freaking time.

[orthoclad]

4. T will countersue,

saying they're being mean to him, and drag it out until they drag him out from natural causes.

His main area of expertise.

Will Trump, The Next Generation then inherit because the original suit is moot?

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yep. Then he will ask for a billion dollars in damages and pay himself out of the US Treasury.

All of the court rulings are comedy gold.
Judges will never enforce any ruling.

[orthoclad]

6. How often do we see court orders obeyed?

Unless they benefit the Reich wing. The key is: who does enforcement?

I can't forget DeJoy's refusal to obey a court order to deliver ballots in a timely manner, in 2020. Why is he still in office? We've been letting the Right get away with murder for years.

Enforce laws and rulings? Like the Epstein files law? Remember Mao: "political power grows from the barrel of a gun". Brutal, but so far true. Good and Pretti learned this.

7. Maybe this is the reason why Chump sued Uncle Sam for $1 Billion?

Chump's stupid lawsuit is totally unrelated to this one, but maybe he's thinking he can "make a deal"?
Something like ... "You drop yours and I'll drop mine. Then we both win."

I don't know, but that's basically how his mind works, if it works at all.

[ColoringFool]

8. Sure, Jan.

9. Sadly, it ain't gonna happen. At least not in his lifetime. IF he loses the civil suit, he will appeal and delay as much

as possible, so that it will be years before any final judgement is reached. So many years if fact, that he will have likely passed away by then.

Ask E. Jean Carroll if she's gotten her money yet.

[SergeStorms]

14. He's installed Trump "friendly" judges....

all over the U.S.. The higher up it goes, the greater the chances of his getting it thrown out.

The U.S. judicial system is tilted toward the wealthy, and the greater the wealth, the greater the tilt.

Orange jebus will never be held accountable for his crimes. Unfortunately, we might as well resign ourselves to that fact.

[Kid Berwyn]

10. I'm with Judge Mehta.

Dimdonniechucklenuts is with Judges MAGA.

They are co-conspirators.

[JI7]

11. What exactly does he plan to do with that money ?

Do you think he has a will ? I can't see him being the type that has set aside things for family members. He seems to selfish for that.

He is going to be 80 in a couple months.

[usonian]

19. Buy out God.

[Dave Id]

12. Too good to be true

I'll not be holding my breath. It would be great if it happened, but like I said...

[BurnDoubt]

13. He'll just fire the judge.

Isn’t this how we do “Justice” now?
Maybe the confusion exists because he thinks they’ve been saying “Just Us”.

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. Thinking about justice against that bottom feeding slimeball

Is like going to sleep and dreaming of winning a huge lottery jackpot. You wake up the next morning disappointed and just as poor as you were, before you fell asleep.

[Biophilic]

16. Please oh please just the thought of it makes me smile.

And the thought of trump even considering it for a moment makes me smile wider. Yes, I know it’s far fetched, but I’m willing and happy to take these sweet thoughts when and where I can.

[IcyPeas]

17. Thanks for trying judge.

"He’d better be thinking on how to hide it"....... Trump will have no problem hiding it.

[BidenRocks]

18. Class action suit.

His actions continue to cause mental stress and is physically impacting our health!
Pain and suffering! $50,000 for each citizen, taken from his personal stash!

[Iggo]

20. The Supreme Court will save him.

[vapor2]

21. I hope he loses every dime
