As we told you earlier, a New York Appeals Court tossed out a huge civil fine against Donald Trump in the latest example of a Democrat lawfare effort going down in flames.
When Letitia James was running for the office of Attorney General in New York, she campaigned on "getting" Trump. After the subsequent civil fine from Judge Engoron against Trump, James went out and bragged about how big of a check she was going to bring back for New Yorkers Watch (via @WesternLensman):

That's a first ballot "this aged badly" Hall of Famer right there!
Letitia James also used to like to keep a tally on the interest that was, so she thought, going to be collected from Trump's fine:

NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) ~ +$114,553.04 = $464,805,336.70
Maybe Trump should send James a check for a dollar and say he felt bad and didn't want to see her walk away completely empty-handed.
