Donald Trump is having a miserable Monday evening/Tuesday morning and is taking out his wrath on Truth Social. Trump suffered a significant setback in his attempts to have the case being brought against him by the New York state attorney general dismissed, after a judge questioned the credibility of accounting experts Eli Bartov and Jason Flemmons.

Judge Arthur Engoron highlighted the potential for bias in their testimonies, given the significant financial compensation they have received. He said that assuming their testimonies were accurate would be a “glaring flaw” in view of these financial incentives.

Engoron was particularly critical of Bartov, a tenured professor, stating that his testimony essentially showed only that some experts might say anything “for a million or so dollars.”

Engoron added, “By doggedly attempting to justify every misstatement, Professor Bartov lost all credibility.”

OUCH! The 3-page ruling is really worth a read, as it’s a perfect example of a judge ripping Trump a new a$$hole.

He added: “Defendants also trot out two of their standard canards, that valuations are subjective and that the law only penalizes ‘material’ deviations… A lie is still a lie.”

The judge also refuted the argument that disclaimers on the former president’s financial statements shield him from responsibility, suggesting they might actually increase it.

Engoron has previously ruled that Trump and his adult sons are liable for persistent fraud, ordering the dissolution of Trump’s business certificates, a decision Trump is appealing. Both parties have until Jan. 5 to file briefs, with oral arguments set for Jan. 11.

Trump took to Truth Social earlier in the night to express his anger. But that wasn’t enough. Nope, Trump went full mental breakdown with an incoherent scream fest aimed at the judge.

Trump said:

“Remember, the corrupt and radical Judge Engoron is a political hack who wouldn’t give us a Jury, wouldn’t let this “case” go to the Commercial Division, where it belongs (would have been TERMINATED), incredibly ignored the Appellate Court decision that struck down almost 90% of this fake lawsuit based on Statute of Limitations, etc., and, Illegally and Unconstitutionally Gagged me and my lawyers, in a brazen and blatant attempt to prevent us from bringing vital information to the Public and the Courts. The Racist Attorney General, and the Runaway Judge, are causing grave damage to our Justice System, to New York State, and to the United States of America! They attempted to use a disgusting and unfair Statute, which has never been used for this purpose before. I am not allowed a Jury, and they have, essentially, taken away my Rights. It is a Rigged Court in a Rigged New York State System, with Fraud committed by the A.G. and Judge in purposefully undervaluing…

Then he continued:

…my Assets, such as Mar-a-Lago, for $18 Million Dollars, when it is worth from 50 to 100 times that amount. This was knowingly and illegally done to make me look as bad as possible for purposes of ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Hopefully there is a Court somewhere in the Land that can stop this rogue, out-of-control Judge, and corrupt, and thoroughly biased Attorney General, from getting away with this egregious act. The Banks were paid in full, loved and respected the relationship, and stated loudly, under oath, and for all to hear, that they were extremely happy with Donald J. Trump! This was news that Judge Engoron was not happy with, our highly respected Expert Witness was mocked and excoriated by Engoron for telling the Truth, the Courthouse was in disbelief. The Expert said that my Financial Statements were the best he had ever seen, and on top of it all, they had a 100% Disclaimer / Non Reliance Clause on Page One, stating that any reader or user of this…

And he concluded with:

…information should not rely on it, but rather do their own analysis, study, and due diligence. The Statements showed great liquidity, Hundreds of Millions of Dollars in Cash, and some of the best Assets anywhere in the World. I didn’t even include, perhaps, my most valuable Asset—THE TRUMP BRAND. It was determined in Court that because of this great liquidity, a Bank Loan was not even necessary. The Bank wanted to make the Deal more than I did, and they were thrilled with the end result—PROFITS AND SUCCESS! There were no Victims, other than me, in having to deal with a totally corrupt Prosecutor and Judge. He refused to give me a Jury and UNCONSTITUTIONALLY GAGGED ME about very important information. The New York State Attorney General, who has total control of the Judge, used this case to run for Governor, and failed. She should be disbarred for what she has done, as Murder and Violent Crime hit All Time Highs. Any Business that moves to New York is CRAZY!”

One of my favorite lines from the ruling was when Engoron said Trump and his legal team’s attempts to have the case thrown out despite the “voluminous” evidence against the former president “personify frivolity.” Engoron truly has a way with words.

Testimonies in the civil trial ended on December 13 after more than 10 weeks of evidence and heated exchanges between Engoron, Trump, and his legal team. Proceedings in New York are set to resume in early January with closing arguments. Trump will, of course, lose, and won’t those fireworks be fun!
