In a filing Thursday, Ivanka Trump’s attorneys asked the court to throw out those subpoenas, arguing she wasn’t properly served and the state court lacks jurisdiction because she’s not a New York resident anymore.
Ivanka Trump also isn’t relevant to the case anymore, her attorneys argued, after Judge Arthur Engoron issued a summary judgment ruling before the trial that found her father and other business associates liable for fraud, narrowing the scope of what would be determined at the trial.
This cracked me up. I’m not a lawyer but I think she’s still a US citizen, lol. Her dad has his official home in Florida and he’s still getting charged.
To her lawyers point, this is a NY State matter, not a USG matter.
To your point, it doesn’t matter at all and I hope they all get the maximum extent of the law.
It’s as if her lawyers watched Duke’s of Hazard and thinks as long as they can get over the county line then Boss Hog can’t chase after them
Speaking of Boss hog, the actor who played him was no dummy. He was in military intelligence during the Korean war, and spoke 12 languages fluently.
*11 as you cannot fluently speak Latin as many pronunciations aren’t likely accurate to the time.
There are no native Latin speakers alive, but there are some fluid speakers. It is the official language of the Vatican, after all.
It may also be useful to draw a distinction between Church Latin and classical Latin.
Still, I think it is incorrect to say that possible to speak Latin fluently.
I mean, they’re defense lawyers. Their entire purpose is to do anything they can to protect their client from the court system. This includes motions that they know good and well are going to be denied.
Except they’re working for Boss Hog, so …
She could be a citizen of Gofuckyourselfistan and it wouldn’t matter.
I wish the whole family would move there.
I hear it’s lovely this time of year.
"Sure judge, just try to lock me up for murder.
I DON’T EVEN LIVE HERE!"
Right, but unfortunately that has nothing to do with compelling a witness to testify in court.
A court can compel a witness to testify if they live x miles from the courthouse. The amount of miles is a general rule but the judge can use their discretion. Legally it’s a good argument. However since it’s such a high profile case and they have the financial means to appear then there is plenty of backup if the judge wants to compel her to show up.
Love this logic by them. If I commit a crime in a state I’m not a resident in, they can’t touch me! She headed up Trump’s businesses while he was in office and those businesses are heavily entrenched in NYC.
