Did you actually watch what she said? There's literally zero there speaking of an insurrection.
As for the "lawfare" being unconstitutional Trump has contested this over and over.
Alina Habba filed a federal lawsuit to this affect in Dec 2021. He was dismissed in 2022 and Habba filed an appeal. Then withdrew the appeal in Jan 2023.
The Trump Organization tried to settle this suit in 2022.
In November 2022 they filed in Florida for a federal injunction against Trish James. It was dismissed.
At one point they tried to claim there is no Trump Organization.
They successfully appealled and challenged the statue of limitations which got Ivanka Trump dropped from the case as she no longer worked for the Trump Organization at the same time the Appellate Court said the case would contiue
In 2023 after Judge Engoron issues his summary judgement before the trial. Trump filed a misconduct complaint against him. It was rejected and Trump withdrew the complaint.
They asked the judge to withdraw the case and appealled his denial.
Trump is appealing the fraud case now.
IMO, the determination of fraud will stand there's just too much evidence of it. Trump himself admitted under oath the value he gave to his New York apartment was wrong. The Trump CFO perjured himself at this trial. Trump executive Doug Larson had to be reminded by Trump's own lawyer to consult a lawyer because he may have perjured himself. He then changed his testimony.
The money amount may be reduced. The effects of the fraud is way more open to interpretation. But I don't see them overturning the facts of the case.
And the legality of the case will stand.
No it won't. The state was begging not to be sanction for misconduct during the appeal hearing!

There was zero discussion of misconduct or sanctions at the appeal hearing. I watched it real time.
If you think I'm wrong please provide the specific time in the video.
I think Trump will definitely have one and strong possibility of two judges who side with his lawyer's arguments in terms of impacts.
But I think the most likely outcone is the liability for fraud stands, but the amount of money is reduced. They previously allowed him to reduce the amount of money needed to secure his bond.
It doesn't matter what Trump said about valuation of his property any more than if you told the bank the house you were refinancing was worth 10 million if it was only worth one million. It's up to the lending institutions to value assets they are lending money on, not the people they were lending money to. Also, they didn't lose any money and wanted more business from Trump, so there was essentially no crime or fraud. The whole case is bullshit. It's a made up crime.
This is a crime. This is mortgage fraud. Very straightforward crime.
I>T'S s up to the lending institutions to value assets they are lending money on, not the people they were lending money to.
This was not that type of loan. This was a prime aspect of the case
The real estate side of Deutsch Bank wanted 10% interest. Trump got a 2% passed on a high net worth and a minimum $50 million in cash.
The properties were not collateral for these loans. The loans was personally guaranteed based on Trump's wealth Part of the disgorgement is hundreds of millions in the difference in interest.
Once the false numbers were put on the documents fraud has occurred. Just like if I lie on my mortgage application.
There were a couple of witnesses from DB. The saleswoman was happy.
However the bank's risk manger said Trump didn't qualify for the size of the loans or low interest rates.
