Ben Meiselas: 'Donald Trump Lawyer DOES NOT RULE OUT Foreign BAIL OUT of DONALD TRUMP'

"MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba’s outrageous interview where she refused to answer if Donald Trump was going to accept money from Russia and Saudi Arabia to pay for the $464 million bond in the NY civil fraud case." 

From the Meidas Touch

"Speaking with Fox News' Martha MacCallum on Wednesday afternoon, Habba, Trump's lead defense counsel in the case, said that the $454 million in penalties is "completely ridiculous," and condemned the ruling by New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who found Trump, his two adult sons and others associated with The Trump Organization liable of misleading lenders and insurance companies for better terms. 

"It is intentionally to interfere in the election, to hurt President Trump, to try and ruin his company, and ruin a person and a family whose private company, not public company, has made the skyline of New York changed forever," Habba added.

Trump maintains that he is innocent and has said that he intends to appeal the ruling, which would require an additional $10 million to his total bond amount. The former president is also the presumptive GOP nominee for the 2024 presidential election. 

MacCallum also asked Habba if there was "any effort" on Trump's defense team to try to secure the total bond amount "through another country," such as Saudi Arabia or Russia.

"There's rules and regulations that are public," Habba responded. "I can't speak about strategy. That requires certain things, and we have to follow those rules." 

Some critics of the former president have raised concerns that Trump's growing debt among his legal cases could pose a national security risk depending on who or what entities agree to post the bond. According to a court filing from Trump's lawyers on Monday, the defense team has asked over 30 companies to cover the bond: All of such requests have been denied.

National security lawyer Mary McCord told MSNBC over the weekend that there are "certainly plenty of people who might want to bail him out," suggesting that some entities could be "foreign, some of those might be Russian oligarchs," or people and companies within the U.S."

From what I wrote about Alina Habba back in November: 

"Alina Habba is not really a trial lawyer. She can barely afford to do whatever she does as a lawyer right now. She's more of a public relations lawyer, if anything at all, who makes her living trying her client's cases on TV and on social media. But she's officially Donald Trump's civil lawyer right now because she's about the best of what's left to try to defend him, because of his own financial situation and all the evidence that's against him right now, in multiple cases. 

Perhaps one of the reasons right now that Alina Habba owes millions of dollars, is because her own client is not paying her. But she's trying to work for him anyway, perhaps banking on the fact that defending a former President of the United States, would lead to clients who can and would pay her very well for her legal advice and actions in the future. But that career strategy is obviously not working out for her right now." 


I'm glad Ben Meiselas is talking about this today, because this is the next potential scam that Donald Trump and company are going to pull, if they can't get a billionaire to bail him out by Monday and he decides not to file for bankruptcy, to cover his 500 million dollar bond in New York State. 

If the only choice that DJT INC. has is either bankruptcy, or getting a foreign bailout, they might take the 500 million from Russia or Saudi Arabia and one of those countries will own Donald J. Trump for the rest of his life and perhaps the U.S. Government for as long as he's President, if Trump wins the election in November. 

And if New York State Attorney General Letitia James can't get a record of that payment to Trump legally, then it would be up to some excellent investigative journalists or private investigators, to get that paperwork and release it to the public, before the November election. 

Because American voters, I would say especially Independents because Democrats and Never-Trump Republicans have already made up their minds whether Donald Trump has been bought by foreign powers already. But this is something that Independents need to know, because they'll probably decide who the next President of the United States will be. 

And as far as Ben Meiselas's 2nd point about he would love for America to return to a day when we get back to a place where we are just debating policy again and not whether one of the two major party leaders in the country is an authoritarian and crook, I completely agree with him. 

But as long as the Republican Party is just the RPINO (Republican Party in Name Only) and is really just the MAGA Party, those debates won't be possible. We have to defeat MAGA first. The real Conservatives and the real Republicans need to come back and reclaim the Republican Party. 

This is what I said about that on Monday: 

"Oh, how I miss the days of those great political debates in Washington about how best to cut the Federal deficit, save Social Security and Medicare, tax reform, immigration policy, Welfare To Work, etc. You know, those old school policy debates that could put the average insomniac to sleep for weeks. Hell, those debates could put an insomniacs convention to sleep. And they only meet to have people to talk to, when everyone else is asleep. But those old debates, could keep the average current affairs junky such as myself, awake for years straight."
