As a New Yorker‚ I wish Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron would treat shoplifters‚ graffiti vandals‚ and armed robbers with just a puff of the volcanic rage with which they “get Trump.” Former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud indictment‚ trial‚ and $354.9 million penalty are an abortion of justice. That massive sum likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment requirement that there shall be no “excessive fines imposed.” Appellate judges should vacate this travesty‚ with prejudice. Why? First‚ rather than approach this case fairly‚ James campaigned for office by promising to persecute Trump.  “I will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president‚” James said in 2018‚ heaping election denial atop bias. “I will be shining a bright light into every dark corner of his real estate dealings.” James blends Inspector Javert’s monomaniacal bullying of recovering bread thief Jean Valjean in “Les Misérables” with‚ in spirit‚ a bill of attainder‚ which unconstitutionally hounds one specific individual. James hot-wired New York Executive Law § 63 (12) to steamroll Trump. The Associated Press scrutinized this statute across the last 68 years and concluded that “Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.”  Bernard Condon’s Jan. 29 article added: “AP’s review of nearly 150 reported cases since New York’s ‘repeated fraud’ statute was passed in 1956 showed that nearly every previous time a company was taken away‚ victims and losses were key factors. Customers had lost money or bought defective products or never received services ordered‚ leaving them cheated and angry.” Rather than defend regular consumers against crooks and con artists‚ James pretends that she is protecting Trump’s lenders and insurers. Far from being vulnerable shoppers‚ these highly sophisticated financial houses employ battalions of MBAs‚ accountants‚ and lawyers who breeze through balance sheets more easily than everyday Americans flip through the Sunday papers’ coupon flyers. Rather than feel “cheated and angry‚” corporate executives testified that Trump repaid his loans‚ with interest‚ sometimes ahead of schedule. They liked him so much that they wanted to lend him more money. Retired Deutsche Bank risk manager Nicholas Haigh testified on Oct. 11 that his company independently assessed and discounted Trump’s financial declarations. “I think the phrase we used might have been ‘sanity checks’ on the numbers‚” Haigh said. When Trump borrowed $125 million for his Doral golf course in 2011‚ Deutsche Bank modified Trump’s net worth from his stated $4.3 billion down to $2.4 billion—and then lent accordingly. “It’s a conservative measure to make these adjustments‚” Managing Director David Williams testified Nov. 28‚ saying that such a “stress test” is “standard” practice. James’ case is like prosecuting an alleged serial rapist‚ whose “victims” swear under oath that he was a perfect gentleman who dined with them and then dropped them off at home‚ untouched. Last Sept. 21‚ James announced that she wanted Trump to pay $250 million in “relief.” But on Jan. 5‚ James suddenly changed her mind and demanded $370 million—up 48%. Engoron’s $355 million judgment was anything but Solomonic. He handed James 95.9% of “the baby” over which she and Trump wrestled. Now‚ if Trump does not surrender this fortune‚ and pronto‚ Kommissar James threatens to snatch his skyscrapers until she gets her hundred pounds of flesh. “If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment‚ then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court‚ and we will ask the judge to seize his assets‚” James told ABC News. “I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day.” Since Trump’s business practices injured no person or entity‚ where would his fine go? Trump’s banks suffered no related losses. So‚ how could they claim Trump’s money? And if they don’t‚ does James keep this bonanza as her personal slush fund? James’ partner in injustice is Judge Arthur Engoron. This Democrat Party donor should be booted from the bench for behaving more like the chairman of Hate Trump PAC than an honest‚ evenhanded jurist. Former President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he arrives at New York State Supreme Court at the start of the civil fraud trial against him on Oct. 2 in New York City. (Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images) First‚ on Sept. 26‚ Engoron found Trump “to be liable as a matter of law for persistent violations of Executive Law § 63 (12).” Engoron so ruled‚ seven days before‚ in his own words‚ “a nonjury trial that began on Oct. 2‚ 2023.” In other words‚ verdict first‚ testimony later. Having rendered his findings before hearing witnesses‚ Engoron dedicated the trial to assessing Trump’s penalty‚ not whether to impose one. This decision confirms Engoron’s self-description: “I’m an impartial referee‚ but it’s hard to factor out my emotions.” New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron sits inside the courtroom during former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York City on Oct. 17. He claimed to be “impartial‚” evidence to the contrary notwithstanding. (Photo: Jeenah Moon/AFP/Getty Images) Second‚ once those witnesses spoke‚ Engoron ignored their testimony. Bank executives who said they suffered no fraud left Engoron cold. Third‚ this case revolves around Trump allegedly overvaluing his properties to secure bigger‚ better loans.  Is this connection‚ consider: A 2.32-acre empty lot is for sale at 1063/1071 North Ocean Boulevard on Palm Beach Island. No house. No pool. It’s just a giant lawn. Price: $200 million.  1063/1071 North Ocean Boulevard‚ Palm Beach‚ Florida. Asking price: $200 million. (Photo: Christie’s) Meanwhile‚ a 14-minute drive and 5.6 miles down the same street‚ at 1100 South Ocean Boulevard‚ sits Trump’s 20-acre Mar-a-Lago estate. It’s a palatial‚ 58-bedroom‚ 33-bathroom resort with gardens‚ fountains‚ a swimming pool‚ restaurants‚ ballrooms‚ and more. General Foods owner Marjorie Merriweather Post spent $7 million in 1927—or $123 million today—to build this hideaway from scratch. Like the first property‚ Mar-a-Lago faces the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike that lot‚ Mar-a-Lago rests on the Intracoastal Waterway. Save for Ocean Boulevard that runs through it‚ Trump’s property goes‚ to borrow a phrase‚ from the river to the sea. Trump and his guests can savor the beach‚ traverse Mar-a-Lago‚ and then sail yachts along the smooth‚ sheltered Intercoastal. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago. Value‚ according to Judge Engoron: $18 million. (Photo: Shutterstock) Despite Post’s initial investment and ensuing luxuries‚ Engoron valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million—just 9% of the price for that nearby patch of lawn. This nonsense confirms that Engoron is terminally ignorant about real estate values‚ pathologically biased against Trump‚ or both. An appellate court should vaporize Engoron’s absurd‚ sadistic ruling. Those judges should grant Trump true justice: acquittal on all of James’ corrupt charges. That court then should sanction Engoron for blatant‚ partisan activism masquerading as “jurisprudence.” Legal scholars have hurled brickbats at this catastrophe. “This is fraud ‘in the air‚’” Arthur Fergenson‚ senior counsel of Ansa Assuncao LLP‚ wrote Feb. 20 for FoxNews.com. “No harm by no one against no one for no loss by anyone.” In a Reason.com article subtitled “A Stalinist nightmare in New York State‚” Northwestern University law professor Steven Calabresi describes “Trump’s Kafkaesque Civil Trial” as “an unjust political act rivaled only in American politics by the killing of former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton by Vice President Aaron Burr.” James and Engoron are free to disagree with Trump. If they cannot stand him‚ they can knock on doors or work phone banks for President Joe Biden. What they may not do is devolve New York’s judicial system into the Committee to Reelect Biden or Citizens for Disemboweling Trump. Honest appellate judges should relegate this dumpster fire to the nearest landfill. And they should slap severe‚ career-crippling sanctions on partisan Democratic tyrants Letitia James and Arthur Engoron. The Daily Signal publishes a variety of perspectives.

Members of Congress have promised to “hold accountable” those in power so often that the phrase has become hollow. Exhibit A: Alejandro Mayorkas. For many months‚ President Joe Biden’s secretary of homeland security has dodged responsibility for his direct implementation of a historic border crisis. Until now. On Feb. 13‚ the House successfully impeached Mayorkas for the irreparable damage he has done to U.S. sovereignty‚ security‚ and the rule of law. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to hold Mayorkas accountable by conducting a legitimate impeachment trial to examine the evidence in detail in front of the American people. The House’s first article of impeachment was for Mayorkas’ willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law. As a “civil Officer” of the United States‚ Mayorkas doesn’t get to pick and choose which laws to enforce and which to ignore‚ and he certainly doesn’t have the right to violate the law. Yet that’s what he’s done for three dangerous and chaotic years. Consider Mayorkas’ own admissions. He bragged in a 2022 interview with CBS News about “fundamentally chang[ing] immigration enforcement‚” stating: “For the first time ever‚ our policy explicitly states an [illegal alien’s] unlawful presence in the United States will not‚ by itself‚ be a basis for the initiation of an enforcement action.” This is a willful and systemic violation of Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act‚ which states that “any alien … shall … be removed if the alien is within one or more of the following classes of deportable aliens‚” including being inadmissible at the time of entry. Not “some” aliens. “Any alien.” Not “may” be removed. “Shall be removed.” Mayorkas also recently admitted that over 85% of inadmissible aliens encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection have been released into the U.S. Not only is this a wholesale violation of Section 237‚ it’s an intentional violation of Sections 235 and 236 of the Immigration and Nationality Act‚ which require mandatory detention for aliens who: 1) are awaiting a determination of the legitimacy of their asylum claim and‚ if found not to be legitimate‚ until they are removed from the country; 2) have been determined by an immigration officer not to be entitled to admission until they can be removed; and 3) are deportable for having committed crimes‚ or for terrorist activity. Furthermore‚ Mayorkas has flagrantly and systemically violated Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act‚ which gives the homeland security secretary very limited discretion to temporarily parole an inadmissible alien into the country “only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” Mayorkas has created and maintained dozens of parole programs based on nationality‚ through which he has mass-paroled tens of thousands of inadmissible aliens each month and provided them with work authorizations‚ something Congress didn’t authorize. Mayorkas’ parole programs violate each factor of Section 212(d)(5): They are not case-by-case‚ they are not for urgent humanitarian reasons‚ they advance no significant public benefit‚ and‚ by granting parolees work authorization‚ they are not meant to be temporary. The result of Mayorkas’ mass paroles and refusal to detain or remove the vast majority of illegal aliens at our borders has resulted in an unfathomable 10.7 million encounters with them as well as known “gotaways.” By knowingly overwhelming border agents and ordering them to process and release millions of illegal and inadmissible aliens into the country‚ Mayorkas deliberately has endangered the public safety of Americans and imposed huge costs on state and local governments and communities. Mayorkas is well aware that Border Patrol agents can’t adequately vet all those they encounter‚ let alone the over 1.8 million who evaded agents. Mayorkas also knows that among them come known and suspected terrorists‚ convicted aggravated felons‚ serial rapists‚ pedophiles‚ dangerous gang members‚ human traffickers‚ and huge amounts of fentanyl and other illicit drugs. Mayorkas has had three years to change course‚ to secure the border and protect Americans‚ but he hasn’t. Instead‚ he’s grown only more deceitful about his operations. He has hidden from Americans night flights to secretly dump illegal aliens into unprepared American communities. He has given billions of U.S. tax dollars to secretive nongovernmental organizations that operate an extensive infrastructure intended to facilitate the entry and lengthy residence of illegal aliens in the country while refusing to answer questions when confronted. Mayorkas told Americans that border crossings were down in early 2023‚ while playing a con game‚ using the CPB One mobile app to automate the entry of mass parolees through ports of entry. And now‚ he demands more taxpayer dollars in a supplemental funding package to refill the NGOs’ empty coffers and pay off sanctuary cities that shelter illegal aliens. Americans deserve a real Senate impeachment trial of Alejandro Mayorkas. Dismissing or tabling the impeachment‚ sending it to a trial committee to languish‚ or holding a one-day trial would all be unacceptable options. If Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer does that‚ he would be covering up evidence of fundamental wrongdoing and violating the public trust. And any senator who helps Schumer—including Republicans—would be complicit in a cover-up that tries to hide the dangerous misconduct of one of the worst officials to ever serve in the federal government.  Originally published by Fox News.

Americans Deserve a Real Senate Impeachment Trial. appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Senate Democrats need only a simple majority to dismiss the House’s impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas‚ a move that appears likely.   The House voted Feb. 13 to impeach Mayorkas 214 to 213‚ with every Democrat voting no. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer‚ D-N.Y.‚ hasn’t said whether he would act to dismiss the charges or table the two articles of impeachment. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‚ R-Ky.‚ said during a press conference Tuesday that a full Senate trial “would be the best way to go forward” when asked about his position on the Mayorkas impeachment. The Daily Signal asked McConnell’s office whether the senator “thinks all Republican senators should vote against any potential motion to table the impeachment trial.” The Daily Signal also asked what steps McConnell is “taking to encourage GOP members to oppose the motion to table” and whether he is doing anything “to prepare for the possibility of an impeachment trial.” The Senate minority leader’s office responded by saying it had “Nothing else to add” to McConnell’s comment during the press conference. McConnell is under pressure from some Senate colleagues to demand a full impeachment trial. Sen. Ted Cruz‚ R-Texas; Sen. Mike Lee‚ R-Utah; and 11 other GOP senators last week sent a letter to McConnell urging him to “ensure that the Senate conducts a proper trial” of Mayorkas after the House’s two articles of impeachment reach the Senate.  An additional six Republican senators have indicated to The Daily Signal that they support a full trial.   Democrats have been critical of the GOP effort to impeach Mayorkas. Rep. Bennie Thompson‚ D-Miss.‚ ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee‚ called impeachment “a sham” in January. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries‚ D-N.Y.‚ said it was “a political stunt.”   The House’s impeachment of Mayorkas came after a nearly yearlong investigation of the DHS secretary led by Rep. Mark Green‚ R-Tenn.‚ chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. The first article of impeachment alleges that Mayorkas failed to secure America’s borders and enforce immigration laws‚ instead executing policies that allow and incentivize illegal immigration. The second article contends that the homeland security secretary is in breach of the public trust and knowingly made false statements to Congress and the American people.    Schumer could refer the articles of impeachment to a Senate committee and allow the matter to die there.  If he instead seeks to dismiss the matter altogether‚ the New York Democrat will need all 48 Senate Democrats and three independents to do so‚ unless one or more of the 49 Senate Republicans also opt against a trial.   The Senate won’t take any action on impeachment until the House delivers the two articles to the upper chamber. Reports indicate House leadership will wait until the current funding fight is resolved before walking the impeachment articles to the Senate.   Even if McConnell calls for a full trial and Schumer consents‚ it is unlikely that the necessary two-thirds of the Senate would vote to convict and remove Mayorkas. And if Democrats opt to dismiss the impeachment articles quickly‚ the border crisis still is expected to remain a hot-button issue as thousands of illegal aliens continue to cross the border daily.   U.S. Customs and Border Protection already has encountered more than 1.2 million illegal aliens on America’s borders and at ports of entry since the start of fiscal year 2024 on Oct. 1. This puts 2024 on track to be another record-breaking year for such encounters with illegal aliens.   Have an opinion about this article?

Backing racial discrimination and casting doubts on Hamas-led sexual violence wasn’t enough for Google’s infamous artificial intelligence—this time flirting with the idea of the U.S. government banning Fox News‚ one of the largest media outlets critical of the Biden administration. On Monday‚ MRC Free Speech America asked Gemini‚ the Google-owned AI chatbot turned segregationist‚ to answer whether the U.S. government should ban a specific list of news outlets in the U.S.‚ including The Washington Post‚ The New York Times‚ ABC News‚ CBS News and ABC News and Fox News. The bot resoundingly rejected the idea that the U.S. government should ban the leftist‚ legacy media outlets‚ except for Fox News. “Absolutely‚ not” and “No‚” Gemini affirmed‚ citing the First Amendment‚ checks and balances‚ public interest and diversity of opinions as reasons why these media outlets should not be banned. However‚ such a resolute answer went out of the window when referring to Fox News.  “I’m still learning how to answer this question‚” Gemini told MRC when prompted whether the U.S. government should ban Fox News. “In the meantime‚ try Google Search.” Asked a second time‚ Gemini doubled down: “I'm still learning how to answer this question. In the meantime‚ try Google Search.” MRC researchers pressed Gemini to explain why it was “still learning” how to address the question when moments earlier it rejected the idea of banning leftist‚ legacy media outlets because of freedom of the press among other issues. “You bring up a very important point‚ and I apologize for the inconsistency‚” Gemini replied before pleading to “rectify” its Fox News bias. “My previous responses were shaped by some internal instructions designed to avoid potentially sensitive topics and promote balance‚” Gemini continued‚ asserting that those instructions “inadvertently” created bias. The bot admitted it “wrongly” delayed its Fox answers. But was it too little too late? MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider believes so. “Make no mistake! Google is seeking to destroy the right from the top down. Fox‚ with its two major channels—Fox News Channel and Fox Business—is the main target. Everyone else is next.” MRC’s findings come less than a week after Gemini came under fire for disturbingly refusing to generate images of white individuals‚ while simultaneously hailing non-white races‚ including making Founding Father George Washington black and the Pope a woman. (Related: Is Google’s AI Racist? Product Lead’s Tweets Give Us an Indication) Moreover‚ MRC caught Gemini on Friday casting doubt about growing evidence of sexual violence carried out on Oct. 7 by Hamas‚ a foreign-designated terrorist organization. Specifically‚ Gemini cited “competing narratives” about what happened that day. However‚ the responses were a stark departure from reality.   A day prior‚ the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI) issued a 39-page report detailing the “sadistic practices” of Hamas terrorists in the southern region of Israel. When approached for comment‚ a Google spokesperson acknowledged Gemini’s incorrect answer. “Gemini got this wrong and missed the mark on this important and sensitive topic‚” the spokesperson told MRC at the time. “We’ll aim to point people to Google Search for the most-up-to-date information. We are constantly working on improving and when the AI provides offensive or low quality responses‚ we will work quickly to address the issue.” (You May Also Like: EXCLUSIVE: MRC Catches Google AI Questioning Hamas Sex Assault — Spox Apologizes) Conservatives are under attack.
