As I had predicted.  The leftists will keep Trump in and out of court and tie up his money or at least starting draining his bank account. He'll be hard pressed for cash to campaign.  They are going after his businesses and his family.  Why, oh why, would he ever want to run again to put up with all of this malarkey??

Judge rejects Trump’s attempt to halt $10K-a-day contempt fines

A New York judge rejected an attempt by former President Trump to purge a contempt ruling against him that carries a $10,000-a-day fine.

Earlier this week, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump would be fined $10,000 each day after he was found in contempt of court for not complying with a subpoena from New York Attorney General Letitia James (D).

James is investigating whether Trump’s business falsified the value of assets illegally for financial gain. Engoron criticized Trump on Tuesday for making “boilerplate objections” to the subpoena and apparently not making a good faith or thorough effort to find requested materials.

The former president “has not yet purged his contempt,” Engoron said in his ruling on Friday, noting that statements from Trump’s counsel were “insufficient in that they failed to specify who searched for each respective request, at what time, where, and using what search protocols; it is not sufficient simply to attach a list of people who participated in the searches.”

Engoron said in his ruling that there was no “useful detail” included in Trump’s personal affidavit regarding where he kept documents, who might have access to them and where they could be stored.

“Moreover, counsel’s claim that her conversations with [Trump] about the locations of the subpoena are covered by attorney-client privilege is without merit,” the New York judge added.............

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
