5. I suspect Trump is trying to get a bond for EJ Carroll damages

This delay may mess that up.

For those interested, this is a good link for the docket
https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/DocumentList?docketId=FX5LeuzFvFRaeD3C6Ob/SA==&display=all&courtType=New%20York%20County%20Supreme%20Court&resultsPageNum=1

This was a really neat chart that gives you some sense of how well they figured Trump fraud out
https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=AZZxPVLi3GbCD7i0pGls0Q==

As I was looking over the case:
- knowing how Trump will unleash every avenue of attack - legal and media,
- from the court docs, knowing how detailed and complex the case is - over 30 instances,
- from the law they're going Trump after with, knowing that has some novelties with disgorgement
I was wondering how this judge could pull together his decision so quickly and make it as bulletproof as he could.

So on that basis alone, the delay doesn't surprise me.

One of my best friends is a prosecutor who specialized in fraud. He's a past Trumper (can't stand him now).
We've had some testy debates over this case. There are some counter arguments out there.

Then the Jones letter comes Jan 26th.

I'm still a little surprised he'll be ready for Trump hell (he already had a bomb scare at his home) by mid February.

Who knows nowadays? But, we are looking at a $370 Million case. Can't see delaying it Silent Type Feb 2024 #3
Then we have Hunter Biden who got caught gab13by13 Feb 2024 #6
It still amounts to less than 10% of the $370 prosecutors are requesting. Why delay for that? Silent Type Feb 2024 #12
As post #2 stated gab13by13 Feb 2024 #13
Just don't think $48 M is reason for a two week delay. Silent Type Feb 2024 #15
