New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.
It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.
(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.
Hochul joined John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, where she was asked if other New York businesspeople should be worried that if “they can do that to the former president, they can do that to anybody.”
“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded. (read more)
F – New York!
This Mad Hatters admission is even worse than it sounds. She is trying to placate people by saying President Trump was specifically targeted. Think of the deeper implications and ramifications of that. The law being used to specifically target someone for political persecution.
Nobody should do business in NYC. It is a cravenly corrupt metropolis that is degenerating into oblivion.
Do not visit or do business in NYC. Let that city fall to the illegal invaders.
The appellation “Mad Hater” works for her too.
This is unbelievable!
That anyone is still there!
Nobody should do business with the entire State. Enough already of this Bull Crap. My wife and I will never again be going to Niagara Falls, The Finger Lakes or any other vacation spot in that State again, as long as it is Governed by those Leftists.
That’s very unfortunate. There are a lot of decent hard-working people in NYS who have/want NOTHING to do with Albany. Yet NYC dictates to the entire state.
I along with 4 other girlfriends visited NYC about 30 years ago. We flew out of Toronto to NY Laguardia Airport. We were fortunate to stay at the then Drake Hotel, a beautiful place indeed. The 3 day stay was something we still talk about today, a girls trip. Central Park buggy ride, visited Tiffany’s although did not buy anything there, a friend bought a paper bag which cost her $5.00 at the time. The exchange rate on the US $$ was almost 50%, so we kept that in mind when wanting to buy anything. The Empire State tour was breathtaking for us. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity at that time to have a wonderful time, a visit to keep in mind. The last few years, no one could pay me enough to set foot inside many of the USA States, the videos I have watched and the stories that I read. I truly wish the good people of NY and other states all the best enduring the criminal evil people running this horrible clown, govna show. The things they are doing to PDJT are worse than anything these politicians have to say about Russia and P. Putin, they are worse than anything I have seen. I pray for PDJT, his Family especially as they have targeted them for their own evil purposes. Lord God I pray they reap every single thing they have sown against the loving God fearing people that reside there. God Bless. Gospodi Blagoslovi i Pomiluj. Amin Amen.
Her words sound defamatory to my ears.
Exactly. The spider to the fly: “Yes, I did devour that that first big fly. However, do let me invite you in. I wouldn’t dream of devouring you, too.”
My Spidey sense calls “b.s.” on that statement.
As one of us falls– so do the rest of us.
Shut New York Down!!!
The entire state has been suffering with these morons and demons in control of it. We never voted them in…they had voter fraud under their belt years ago. It MUST fall. Worse than Detroit fell. It must be God’s raised hand slamming it hard to show the world what happens when you side with Lucifer and laugh at His holiness.
Pretty much. When you say “We wouldn’t do this to anybody else,” you’re admitting what it’s all about.
Grechen, er, Kathy saying the quiet part out loud. Gosh, those two should be sisters.
No legitimate business should assume they will be exempt from this same misuse of the law, should they remain in NYC.
I am going to leave this here. Support freedom!

Except they will be, and they know they will be….unless they associate with the Trump family.
Kathy Hochul is so despicably stupid that there is no reason for self respecting New Yorkers to believe anything she has to say. All I can say is, when you control the Judicial system, you can be as stupid as you want and there isn’t a damned thing anyone can do about it. I will not even give this woman the respect of reading about anything more she ever has to say. She is so stupid I am afraid I will catch some of that! Good thing my Governor and his husband are not that stupid. 🙂
I believe the NY law requiring 100% of the judgment to be placed in escrow as a condition for appeal is unconstitutional.
I hope so. I’m not a lawyer but as an engineer, I am dumbfounded that our legal system has this massive failsafe hole that literally enables the simple combination of an unethical prosecutor and a rogue judge to arbitrarily bankrupt a business enterprise.
Do they have case law to support that?

I wonder if her statement will have relevance or be usable in Trump’s appeal. Of course her admission means they will do it to anyone perceived as an opponent.
Not seeing any statement by governor has any value one way or another in an appeal.
“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded
Hochul’s new opponents being primarily any/all Biz owners in NYC who contribute to Trump’s Potus campaign from now on!
After her admission,…. She is now stuck fast up to her arm pits in Judge Engomoron’s giant Tar Baby now.
As Sinatra sang,… “Noo Yawk, Noo Yawk,… I am Leaving Today….!”
The problem is the use of the word “BEHAVIOR”
Every other real estate developer “BEHAVES” exactly like Trump behaved.
She should be prosecuted for admitting what we all knew to be tree: she targeted one person ,TRUMP, and railroaded him with a corrupt Judge and D.A. Trump’s lawyers should sue her and the state of NY- then he should move all his Businesses to FLA. (Think if all the money he’d save in taxes) and Bankrupt NYC. Already businessmen like Kevin O’Leary have said they will NOT do any business in NY……
Bill of Attainder … falls in that category.
Ditto the change to NY law that set up the two E Jean Carroll legal hit jobs.
“Show me the man,… I’ll show you the Crime!” – Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria.
Soviet Union is no more. Russia is more respected than America the last few years especially. Imagine what other countries and their leaders think of the banana republic. America has no right to say anything negative about them, they are a symbol of corruption, evil, greed and murder, beginning with their own people.
Heard that ugly bi*** is going to sue him a 3rd time
It’s not her looks or her sex….it’s her immorality that is worth insulting.
Ditto to changing the voting laws of various swing states without going through proper channels.
They don’t care.
Is there ANYTHING more un-American than passing a law to invent criminal charges and persecute a particular individual who has broken no laws?

These corrupt politicians allow the lawfare motley crew to use corrupt judges, county da etc to be a threat to us all everywhere!
Albany is the Political Racketeering Operations Center for NYS. Caution.
Is this even legal? The poison pill for seeking appeal?
It is “legal” if the state says so.
The question is: Whutchagonnadoboudid?
Legal, but I believe unconstitutional. Need a sympathetic test case.
I don’t get it. How is it legal to make up a legal tactic that fits only one person and will admittedly never be used again? If it means nobody has ever had the lack of integrity to do it, guess it’s time it’s challenged, and precedent set.
If she can control the courts, then that is blatantly admitting the whole system in New York is Politically corrupt. So she hasn’t solved anything.
No proof of crimes committed, no entities were defrauded, and no one suffered any harm other than President Trump. This is almost “Bill of Attainder” territory where New York is using a law that does not exist to convict an innocent man. They are making law after the fact, where no fact exists.
I wonder … has anyone (anyone sane that is) ever won a staring contest with ‘Karen’ Hochul?
She would be stiff competition for the wide-eyed look of Elizabeth Holmes (of Theranos fame).
While he had to go for chasing staffers,…. No wonder that former NY Gov, Cuomo, didn’t hit on Hochul.
“The Force is strong in this one”, as the Empire State Strikes Back against the US Constitution and Free Enterprise Capitalism in Noo Yawk.
This fool of a Marxist Dim Gov is now sitting on a box of explosives and has just lit the fuse to it.
That sucking sound that will soon emanate from NYC will be coming from the rush of Biz/Real Estate companies fleeing to Red States still under the US Constitution and it’s Rule of Law,… not NY Marxist Tyrants.
The last Biz owner dawdlers to leave will be selling their assets at far below mkt value to the CCP investors who now own Xiden and the DNC,… who will scoop them up for Hochul/Adam’s growing NYC illegal alien hoards to reside in and pay for with our Tax $ in the form of their Free $10K debit cards . Ain’t Marxism Great?
The Big Apple will soon be the Big Rotten Banana – Republic of the Damn Yankee Fascists. Take a big bow, AG, Leticia/Judge Engomoron,…. while you still can.
That is soooo true…..Americans will leave, the state and feds will step in….foreigners will buy at basement prices and a wall will have to be built around NYC.
Loss of tax revenue? Who cares as long as the global elites get their piece of the pie and erode any foundation left to our country…..the American elitists have proven they can make whatever “chump change” that is needed and the media will continue to follow their direction thinking they are the “protected” sect after the fall of our nation.
Their time has come….now or never.
Tax revenue is no problemo. Just wait for the illegals to find out that all their freebies and debit cards and plane rides are taxable income!
Welfare from the state and feds would not be taxable…..they can not tax their own handouts….even if the illegals find a job are they going to be satisfied being claimed as an employee?
never a chance….
Why not? The IRS taxes Social Security payments, and those payments are derived from the SS recipient’s lifetime wages that were already taxed when earned.
They’re all criminals by definition, having crashed the gates to get here. What makes anyone think they will pay taxes?
Does anyone still believe that this republic can be salvaged?
We are no longer under the rule of law, but the rule of man.
There is no realistic hope of salvaging the democratic republic that we once had, and the sooner that we all come to terms with that, the better. The corruption is too pervasive and too extensive.
Anyone who believes that we are going to “vote our way out of this” is sadly deluded.
There are only three options.
1: Do nothing, try to survive as best as you can in the coming days, and hope that The Regime does not send its minions to murder you and your family. You can expect to be disarmed at some point.
2: Civil war — which would be very risky and very bloody. Much like every other institution in the nation, the military has been compromised, so victory is far from certain. Anyone who is cognizant of the events over the past several years would have the impression that The Biden Regime is TRYING to provoke a violent response, as it would give them the pretext to impose martial law, deploy the military, and rule by military decree. There are some who are speculating that there will likely be a “false flag” operation to give the impression that a civil war has begun, that it has gone kinetic.
If anyone were to try to organize a rebellion, they would likely be arrested and thrown in the same gulag as the Jan 6 protesters. If Washington DC were to be attacked, then the military would likely react to protect that cesspool.
3: #NationalDivorce — Those States where sanity and integrity still prevail need to act ASAP to save themselves, to gain (or regain) their independence, to assert their right to self-determination. To effect that, we utilize the democratic process to break the nation apart. Each State should hold referendums on independence. In many States, the result would likely be in the affirmative.
The Texas Nationalist Movement is leading that effort in Texas.

If Texas gets out, several other States would probably follow, perhaps even your own. There is an active movement in New Hampshire to regain independence. New Hampshire might even beat Texas to the exit. They are not waiting around for Texas to act. If one or more States were to regain its status as an independent nation, and The Regime in Washington DC (the District of Criminals) were to order an invasion of that/those State(s) in response, it is likely that there would be mass rebellion within the ranks. That action could backfire upon the ruling elite in a major way. The Regime is probably aware of that distinct possibility and that could compel them to refrain from taking that action. There doesn’t have to be violence if they refrain from violence.
It’s unrealistic to believe that the nation as a whole can be saved, so the only practical course of action is to try to save those parts that could possibly be saved.
The Energy States of the South and Southwest have been mulling this Divorce idea over ever since Sen Ted “Splash” Kennedy publicly promoted the idea of the Socialist Fedel Guvmint nationalizing the Oil/Gas Industry back in the early ’80s.
These “Sunbelt” states have more than enough of the energy, the military mfg/bases, industry, finance, the natural resources, marine/air ports and climate to make a good go of it,… sans the bankrupted Blue Marxist state anchors weighing them down.
Lawfare in New York will be used against ANY business that does not do what the Democrats want, including giving donations to their opposition.
Isn’t what Governor Hochul admitting that the law is not being applied equally? I thought that’s what the design intent of our legal system was in the first place. Sure, ‘we’ (meaning – the citizens of New York state) can vote her and her ilk out, but is there any legal recourse either against the prosecutors of this case or for President Trump – in his appeals?
Gov Hochul just opened the state of NY to a civil lawsuit. What a legally idiotic thing to admit.
Too late. Damage done.

“Dredges”? You mean “dregs”? The lowest of the low, of course.
Dumbass Low-class Joe is dregs of the dregs himself … Pathological liar, plagiarizer, bribee, drugger of his son, pederast of his daughter/neice, lowest of the low.
An insult from such a cretin as Joe is high praise indeed.
God bless Shark Tank Kevin O’Leary for continuing to pound the drum for the horrific annihilation of freedom by this ruling against investors in New York. Yes, it is absolutely an assault on Donald Trump. However, as the great man says about himself,”I am merely standing there in front of you. They are really coming after YOU!”
O’Leary is very emphatic — it is a takedown — a real threat–of anyone who would ever want to invest in New York again.
Businesses need to pull out of New York. If they can’t clean up their lawfare thuggery — the state will reap financial ruin. George Soros and his d.a. army across America are ravaging the rule of law.
Hochul has to admit Trump was targeted since the Democrat Attorney General has long-ago declared that her purpose was to sue Trump for something–anything. Democrat judges, Democrat prosecutors both operating in Blue Cities are going to turn more than one GOP office holder into “American Navalnys.”
She does not admit, she brags… That’s why it is of utmost important to put people like her and, most importantly, the people behind behind her who are giving her marching orders in their place, hard and quick!
Corporate managers & major shareholders who believe Hochul are also stupid enough to believe New York will not go broke and need new sources of money. To the swamp, $350 million is a sweet taste of new graft to hand out.
Yes, they’re only going for President Trump for now. Anyone with half a brain cell knows that they could be next.
She isn’t smart enough to be in Sanitation, let alone in the Governor’s Mansion…the politicians of NYC have ruined it- Eric Adams declares NYC a “Sanctuary City “to feel good about HIMSELF- then is outraged when illegal border crossers (here because of the President HE supports) are sent to his city…he was fine when it was only the Southern Border states invaded and lectured Abbott but suddenly upset when it come to his town- what did he expect? ….Hochul just admitted to the world that the farce that was the Letitia James case against Trump (no victims; the bankers all said they’d do business with Trump again, and the State attorney General, elected to do the Business of the entire State sat in court daily smiling her evil smile ignoring everything else going on in hte State that she was hired to manage…) The Dems are unable to think two steps ahead on anything- they are always caught by surprise and then it’s all Somebody’s else’s fault….such cry babies! Kevin O’Leary has said he will NO LONGERdo usuiness in NYC, and after Hochul’s admission, others should follow- mark my words: This stupid admisnistation (Hoochul & James) is going to turn NYC back to the disaster it was in the 80’s.
This is so going to blowup in their face. The interview that Kevin Mr wonderful gave is evidence.
What goes around comes around guvnuh. Effy, brace yourself, said Mr. Doubtfire.
“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.
Until they’re not, then they get the same treatment. Who’ll decide? Albany Democrats will decide.
The fact that democrats (I know, I misspelled fecal covered rats) can brazenly make such statements and have no concern for any repercussions, is unnerving.
I hope Engo_moron doesn’t think this is the end of Trump. It just strengthens our resolve to defeat him and his detestable ilk.
