Letitia James Could Put Liens on Trump Properties Across America, Jonathan Turley Blasts 'Mob Justice'

Stage 4 Trump Derangement Syndrome is an insidious mental disease, one symptom of which is sufferers become incapable of rational thought about anything related to former President Donald Trump.

Presently, along with Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, no one better exemplifies the mind-crippling disease than New York Attorney General Letitia James.

James reportedly has three ways to collect $454 million from Trump if he fails to post the required bond to cover a civil fraud judgment by Monday. The New York AG told ABC News in February:

We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers.

Translation: "We are prepared to make sure that we can destroy Donald Trump as much as possible."

So, at the end of the proverbial day, James reportedly has three options:

Placing liens against properties
Collecting rents from properties
Collecting funds from Trump’s New York state bank accounts

Michael Epner, a long-time New York litigator, told USA Today:

If there are bank accounts in New York, those can be frozen essentially immediately if she already knows where they are, and the turnover of the funds in a bank account would be measured in days or weeks.

Similarly, Jocelyn Nager, a New York lawyer who focuses on debt collection and commercial litigation, told the outlet that James can freeze Trump's bank accounts quickly if she knows where they are by sending a subpoena to the bank or asking a marshal for an immediate levy on the bank.

It is not instantaneous, but it's very quick. It's very fast. It's a question of how fast that document can be served on the bank.

Here's more:

For properties outside New York County but within New York state, James would need to take additional actions to get the lien applied there, Nager said.
It would also be easier to sell real estate belonging to a Trump corporate entity than real estate that is only under Trump's name because New York provides added protections for residences.
James could use the judgment to go after Trump's assets in other states − such as Florida, where Trump's Mar-a-Lago club is − through a process called "domesticating" the judgment in that other state.

Legal scholar and political commentator Jonathan Turley called the whole thing "mob justice" that could ultimately find its way to the Supreme Court, which he said he finds "appalling."

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.” …[ Many people look at this as a type of almost mob justice.
And this could end up going beyond the New York system. They [Trump’s team] could appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court. On occasion, the Supreme Court has intervened in state actions, for example, on punitive damages, and so that points damages can become so high they deny someone due process of law. This is falling into that extreme category, in my view. I find it appalling.

"Mob justice" is right — and "appalling," perhaps even more so.

Imagine for a nanosecond a judge and a district attorney or state attorney general coming down on Joe Biden and the Biden Family Business anywhere close to how they're squeezing the former president. You probably can't — because it would never happen.

The Bottom Line:

Any reasonably objective person with a reasonable degree of intelligence can see the reality of the two-tiered justice system that now grips America.

If there's a silver lining — which I believe there is — everything the TDS-riddled left throws at Trump only increases his chances of winning in November.
