Some Florida Republicans want taxpayers to pay Trump’s legal bills

It should apply in every case, not just Trump's.

 

I'm just asking a simple question on Trump. It's just a simple question why he can't pay his own bills like everyone else. He must have a problem with it.

 

Then you should get to work changing the law. Call your state senator. Call your congressman.

Until then, stick to the rules.

 

You're right he is one or he'll turn into one eventually. 

 

How did you know that the case was political, can you provide the docate number.

 

I've been in more than one courtroom in NJ, can you be more verbose on this issue.

 

Depends on the case, that does happen.

 

In the absence of a contract between the parties that specifies who pays, then the loser should almost always pay.

I only say 'almost', because I can imagine, for instance, a huge corporation with millions of dollars of lawyers on retainer bringing suit vs an employee with a court appointed lawyer. The court appointed lawyer could, and probably would, lose, leaving his client with unreasonable burden.

The goal of 'loser pays' should be to introduce significant risk with bringing frivolous and nuisance lawsuits, so perhaps a component should be to show that the prosecution knows, or should know, that the suit is not likely to prevail.

 

There are legal precedents with civil suite cases and how the adjudication of funds. I don't know the specific legal conditions, but they do exist. I understand your position, but those determinations are out there, sorry I don't know that much detail of those legal conditions.

 

It was over twenty years ago so I forgot most of what happened because it didn’t pertain to me. A few years later, I hired the same judge to represent me in another town when I got into a bar fight. I won.

 

Well then your assertion isn't valid.

 

I did a quick scan of posts and I didn't see that anybody had posted that Kneelin' Ron (AKA Meatball) essentially nipped this one in the bud

On the social media site X (formerly Twitter), the Florida governor re-posted a POLITICO story on Monday headlined "Some Florida Republicans want taxpayers to pay Trump's legal bills."

DeSantis commented: "But not the Florida Republican who wields the veto pen…"

Geez, that's actually a marginally clever response. Who knew?? Maybe he's better online than live, although it's impossible NOT to be..

I believe Meatball attributed the phrase "Florida Republican who wields the veto pen" to Aristotle...

 

People do not get to choose their public defender. Should we pay for his defense and he gets to choose his own counsel, something not afforded to anyone else?

 

Not necessarily.

The prosecution needs to make their case and get a conviction.

There are all kinds of attempts by the left to suggest guilt without being proven in a court of law.

This is just another example.

 

You certain haven't said anything against it.

You haven't said anything against weaponizing departments for political gain that I can find.

 

Should everyone be treated fairly? Should a politically elected prosecutor who HATES you be able to use the power of their office to RUIN you financially? Politically motivated prosecutors using that power brought this on Trump.

 

If he can prove a malicious prosecution yes.

 

I don't think he qualifies for a free one and the Constitution says you are entitled to the BEST defense you can get. Please explain why Trump is below the Constitution and cannot sue for malicious prosecution.

 

Well it IS the premise of the subject here. No one is saying reimbursed on conviction.

 

Yes if it would harm them financially.

 

They campaigned on it stop with the denials

 

Might have campaigned on publicly known crimes, but not “anything”

 

He can sue if he wants. No tax payer funding should be allocated through legislation. The Constitution allows for competent representation, not the best. It's been that way for 60 years. If you think trump deserves special treatment, please explain.

 

Here is another win for Trump supporters.

 

Actually I think it might - didn’t Alina Habba get fined?
