The Bulwark: George Conway Explains: 'Donald Trump's Legal Stall FAILS Miserably! Trial Starts in 3 Weeks & $175M POORER!'

Source:The Bulwark talking about Donald Trump's small victory that he had on Monday in New York.

"George and Sarah take on the upcoming New York trial, including Trump's $175 million bond. George offers a few (highly critical!) insights into Judge Cannon's handling of the case in Florida."

I want to talk about George Conway's point about Donald Trump's lack of quality legal help, because my colleague Kire Schneider already wrote about this last November when he was talking about Donald Trump's Manhattan civil attorney Alina Habba: 

"When you are the President of the United States, regardless of the POTUS, you have access to be the best of legal profession in this country. Any lawyer just about would be honored to either work in your White House, or work as your personal attorney to address any personal legal issues that you might have when you are President. At least access to the best lawyers in your own party. 

But when you leave The White House, especially in disgrace, when you've just lost reelection and only managed 46% of the popular vote and 232 out of 574 electoral votes, in a two-way race, you've been impeached twice in just 4 years, you have all the legal issues that are now in front of you because of your illegal conduct as President of the United States, you are very unpopular, at least outside of your own party, you have mounting financial debt in front of you because of all the money that you lost when you were President, you have access to whatever is left."

I think the lesson here for career criminals in the future, is if you make a lot of money off of other people's backs and manage to keep a lot of it, put some of that away to cover your legal bills. That way get much better legal representation, because your potential lawyers will know that they'll at the very least get paid, even if they lose in court. 

But, if you are Donald J. Trump, you live in your own world mentally. Not physically or legally, but you see yourself as King Donald of the Trump Kingdom, where the laws of mere mortals, simply don't apply to you. But not just that, you don't even have to pay your own legal bills. So King Donald gets all this legal help representation, but doesn't pay for it. Which costs him quality lawyers, because your average successful lawyer in America, is not a charity worker, at least not professionally. And they expect to get paid, especially when they're working 60-70 hours a week on behalf of their clients. 

As far as Donald Trump's bond getting reduced yesterday: I'm not a lawyer. (Also in the news: I'm also not Jesus Christ) But I don't have a problem with it. 

I guess there's a side of me as an American who loves liberal democracy and the rule of law and would love to see someone like Donald J. Trump get punished as much as possible, at least financially. (Perhaps not physically) Especially since Donald J. Trump represents everything that America is supposed to stand against and hates everything that America stands for, like equal rights, equal justice, the rule of law, etc. 

There's a side of me that says I would like to see Trump get the most financial punishment as humanly possible, as far as I'm concern. But he lives in the same world as every other American and therefor has the same rights as everyone else. And 175 million is still a helluva lot of money. And he might be only be worth 200 million tops, as far as what he actually has in all his bank accounts right now, anyway. 

As far as this club that right-wing "populist" activist Mark Levin would like to put together for Donald Trump, I guess he would call it: "Real Billionaires For Donald J. Trump", that would be in the business of paying the bills of fake a billionaire like Donald J. Trump: I think George Conway had the perfect response to Mr. Levin Here: 

Mark Levin: "Why are there no Republican multi-billionaires offering to lend President Trump the funds to file his appeal in the outrageous case in NY state? Are none of them liquid enough to help or join with others to help?  This is an outrage." 

George Conway: "Maybe because Trump is a terrible credit risk who someday soon will probably spend the rest of his life in prison?" 

From George Conway

I guess my only responses here are: why would someone claiming to be a billionaire, worth as much as perhaps 6 billions dollars (according to Donald J. Trump. So take that for what it's worth.) need other billionaires to pay his bills for him? 

And why would a multi-millionaire like Mark Levin, be going out-of-his-way to back a professional deadbeat like Donald J. Trump?
