‘Mob Justice!’ Fox News Legal Analyst Shreds New York AG for Potentially Seizing Trump’s Property
Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley sees only one kind of justice coming out of former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial — “mob justice.”
While discussing Trump’s reported inability to pay his full $465 million bond on Fox & Friends, the co-hosts welcomed Turley to lay out the former president’s options. While Turley said he didn’t have many, he also laced into Manhattan District Judge Arthur Engoron for handing down the “astronomical” judgement and New York Attorney General Letitia James for engaging in “mob justice” and threatening to seize his NY properties if he can’t pay up by March 25:
[B]asically, his position is, “In order to get any other judge to look at what I’ve done to you, you’ve got to come up with basically a half a billion dollars just to appeal.” It’s like a judge saying, “I’m going to take your house away, but you can appeal my decision, you just have to sell your house in order to do it.” It doesn’t, many people look at this as a type of almost mob justice! As you know, the attorney general ran on bagging Trump. She’s now pledging to seize his property just because he can’t come up with this bond. At some point, the courts have got to step in and say, look, this is just simply enough. You know, you’re acquiring this astronomical bond just for this guy to be able to get any other judge to look at this decision.
