Jonathan Turley sounded the alarm bells on Fox News about the dire straits former President Donald Trump found himself in, unable to scrape together $450 million in bond money to cover a civil fraud case. The professor warned that if Trump couldn’t cough up the cash, he might as well kiss his right to appeal goodbye and wave farewell to the New York legal system. And honestly, Trump missing out on a chance to argue his case further? That would be like missing out on the last slice of apple pie at a Fourth of July barbecue – utterly un-American!
‘An Existential Moment’: Turley Says Trump Failing To Post Bond ‘Worst Possible Prospect’ For New York Legal System https://t.co/dykw2rrg3p via @DailyCaller

Turley was all fired up, suggesting that Judge Engoron’s decision was about as logical as a cat meowing at a closed door. He argued that the judge should have been a tad more reasonable, like asking for a gazillion dollars – it would have had the same impact but seemed less arbitrary. The professor painted a picture of Trump clutching onto his legal plane, desperately needing it to take off but stuck at the end of the runway, facing the looming threat of being labeled a defaulter. It’s like watching a botched attempt at a presidential pardon unfold in real-time.
Even “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary threw in his two cents, vowing to steer clear of investing in New York, branding it a “mega-loser state.” The audacity of it all! Turley raged on, pointing out that there were better ways for the judge to handle the situation. After all, Trump’s not exactly hiding Trump Tower under a rock – it’s not like he can skip town with a building strapped to his back. The purpose, Turley argued, seemed more like a punishment than a precaution against a Houdini-style vanishing act.
As if the drama needed more seasoning, Democratic Attorney General Letitia James swooped in, promising to go all out investigating Trump, waving the “illegitimate president” flag like she just won at political bingo. Turley, still riled up like a patriotic bald eagle, urged everyone within earshot to see past their personal feelings about Trump and focus on the bigger issue at hand. It’s like a high-stakes game of poker where the pot keeps growing, and someone’s about to go all-in without even looking at their cards.
So, there you have it – a New York legal showdown fit for a reality TV finale. Will Trump scrape together the cash and save the day, or will he be left watching from the sidelines, wondering how he ended up in such a pickle? Tune in next time for the next episode of “Legal Eagles and Billion-Dollar Bonds” – coming soon to a courthouse near you!
