THREAD: I’m sorry. But this filing is shady AF. This is Hankey Subprime’s filing proving that knight insurance can guarantee Trump’s bond. I’m very much looking forward to the April 22 hearing on the matter. 1/ iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDoc…
The reason it seems shady to me is that Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) only has $138M in cash, and is relying on a trump Schwab account that’s supposed to be worth just about exactly $175M 2/
I’m no expert, but I think to back a bond, the guarantor has to have at least enough cash to cover it. But here, they say trump is covering it and they have access to Trump’s Schwab account 3/
They go on to say “but our parent company KIC has like a billion dollars in accessible equity.” Sure, but that’s not who is securing the bond. And they access is through something called “reinsurance”. 4/
I suppose they only have to guarantee the bond amount of $175M, but doing it through reinsurance from the parent company seems weird to me. Not to mention the trump Schwab account. Is this different than the Schwab account he used to have Chubb back his E Jean Carroll bond? 5/
Then they go on to say that even though they don’t have a certificate of qualification pursuant to NY insurance law, the court can still justify the surety. 6/
I mean, just read this justification for excess line insurers to back the bond. “excess lines insurance, if effected by mail from outside this State by an unauthorized foreign or alien insurer duly licensed to transact insurance in its state of domicile, shall not constitute doing an insurance business in New York.” 7/
And even so, it’s KSIC, not the parent company that has excess lines eligibility. So it feels like they’re saying “Our parent company KIC has the money to reinsure KSIC, and KSIC has excess lines eligibility even though we’re not certified in New York and don’t have the money, so all of that together means we can back the bond.” 8/
Again. I’m not AT ALL an expert, but this seems like circular Frankenstein bullshit to me. END/
I hate to break it to you, but even if Garland had appointed a special counsel in 2021 and trump was indicted a year earlier, there still would not have been a trial before the election. Let me explain. 1/
We know that last year, donald filed for immunity. That's interlocutory, which means it has to be solved before trial. That whole appeal and oral argument process from district court to circuit court to SCOTUS, took nearly a year. 2/
The way SCOTUS set up the process is that they sent it back to the lower court to determine what's immune and what's not under their new immunity rules, and then THAT second immunity decision is interlocutory, too. 3/
Allow me to go through Tim Pool’s sad excuses for why he’s quitting two weeks before an election. 1/
1. “It’s not a financial thing. We make a lot of money.”
Okay, but you want to start a family and you’re gonna quit the big ol’ money maker? Or is your wife the bread winner? Kinda woke, isn’t it? 2/
2. “The structure becomes bigger and bigger and bigger until it becomes impossible to manage.”
Then you expand and hire people and pay them well and give them benefits. Sorry you’re unable to run a small business. I started at my kitchen table with 10 downloads. Now I run a network and have over 50M. But I don’t get millions from Russia. 3/
THREAD: Despite the overwhelming support for telling my story, I want to address some of the pushback I've received from Republicans on this site. First, "This is pure propaganda. Florida has exceptions for rape. You support killing babies so much you’re willing to lie to unsuspecting people about it." 1/
Let me address the "Florida has an exception for rape" point first. Florida does have an exception for rape if you provide a "police report, restraining order, medical record, or other court order." That requires the service member to report their rape. Let me tell you what happened when I tried to report my rape. 2/
I was wrapped in a blanket and bleeding because my rapist's friends had stolen my clothes. It was still dark, around 0400. I snuck out and went to the on-base law enforcement office to report the rape. I was seated in an interrogation room under one of those fluorescent lamps at a metal desk, where I waited for about 30 minutes. 3/
Um, wow. The evidence and testimony Jack Smith has is DAMNING. For instance, the government has testimony that Donald said of the voter fraud claims that the "details don't matter." There is also testimony that trump said it didn't matter if he lost, he would just declare he won. 1/
There are also multiple conversations Pence had with his running mate that they'd lost and it was time to "take a bow". I'm just digging into this, but Trump is cooked. None of this is immune (or the presumptive immunity can be easily rebutted.) 2/
HA! When Trump was on the phone with Michigan, lying to them about voter fraud, Trump was corrected and reminded he lost two counties becuase he "underperformed with educated females", which pissed him off. 3/
NEW: THREAD: A new ruling from Judge McBurney in Georgia overturning the abortion ban and allowing the procedure to continue has some REMARKABLE quotes. Let's take a look at just a few. 1/
"While the State’s interest in protecting “unborn” life is compelling, until that life can be sustained by the State -- and not solely by the woman compelled by the Act to do the State’s work -- the balance of rights favors the woman." 2/
"Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property the disposition of which is decided by majority vote. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted, not-yet-viable fetus to term violates her constitutional rights to liberty and privacy, even taking into consideration whatever bundle of rights the not-yet-viable fetus may have." 3/
