New York Attorney General takes initial step to prepare to seize Trump assets | CNN Politics ( www.cnn.com )

It’s not over yet until the sheriff actually seizes assets and has the door locks changed.

Every hour between now and the 25th ratchets up the defendant’s willingness to do something desperate. Foreign money, selling any national secrets he managed to hide from the feds, promises of cabinet picks, it’s all on the table and our safety is what’s for sale.

Over? Nobody said it was over. Only that it’s just getting started.

And that’s less than 4 days away, not some far-off deadline.

We had a similar ramp up of anticipation for the Carroll case’s 93 million judgement too. His lawyers were in court bald faced lying to the judge about not having a bond and needing time/reduced bond amounts right up until the last moment. Then they filed the bond in the last hour.

Can he do it again? I don’t know. None of us truly do. He’s a lying con man, so nothing he says matters. Four days is a long time in politics and finance.

My biggest concern on the political/media side of things is that he does have the bond already. All of this thrashing is performative to get the media whipped into a frenzy of anticipation and then he drops the bond at the last moment. This makes him look stronger and the media who frothed over his imminent demise look blundering. Don’t walk into that trap.

The moment the sheriff locks up his properties I’ll celebrate like crazy. Until it’s really done, anything can happen and I wish the the DA, the courts, the political leadership, and media agencies stay sharp while the clock ticks down. Don’t get hit at the finish line.

Not that similar. Not similar in circumstances and, certainly, not similar in the amount which is nearly 5x as much. Getting a $93m bond is much easier than getting a $467m bond.

And all his whining and crying in the media makes him look anything but strong.

Look, I don’t blame you for being cautious in your optimism, but, even if comes up with the bond somehow, he’s losing the appeal for sure and the people of the state of New York will get their payout. And that’s all the more reason for nobody to put up the money unless they get all his assets in return.

One way or another, Trump is fucked.
