The shocking $355 million civil fraud penalty imposed on former President Donald J. Trump sent the message that New York is not safe for conservatives and Greg Gutfeld received it loud and clear.
On Wednesday’s edition of “The Five,” the Fox News host and the rest of the crew discussed the political persecution of the billionaire real estate magnate by New York Attorney General Letitia “Peekaboo” James and her stooge, radical leftist Judge Arthur Engoron, leading Gutfeld to declare that it could be time to pack up and get out.

“Where’s the $355 million going to go if Trump owes the bank zero?” Gutfeld asked. “The bank agreed he owes them nothing because he fulfilled the contract, he broke no laws.”
“You know people, whenever they bring up Trump, they always say, ‘No one is above the law.’ Well, what law– apparently this is a first, as Kat Timpf pointed out yesterday,” he continued. “It’s about being below the law. Trump is below the law, meaning you can punish him for not crossing into illegality, much like the rest of us.”
“Trump is 100% innocent in this. It can’t be fraud, because who is it against?” Gutfeld said. “When I’m in a contract negotiation, I can pretty much present anything I want, because the other side will assess it and come back with their number, and then we agree. There’s nothing hidden in a contract.”
“I think this is all an act to keep Trump off his game. That’s all this is. But this is why we all need to move to Florida, Fox,” he said, suggesting that even the network isn’t safe from the power-abusing James and her minions, “because I never thought that my politics and political choices would affect my privacy, my speech, and my livelihood, but that’s how it is these days.”
“They’re gonna do what they did to Trump, they’re gonna do to you and me, and how soon before I get arrested for public indecency? And this time, I will be innocent,” he jokingly said, making his point that conservatives – and especially Trump supporters – could be falsely charged with crimes under James’ Soviet-style legal system.
Drunk with power and knowing that she enjoys total impunity, James is threatening to seize Trump’s properties in a sign of the institutionalized thievery that could soon become commonplace in Gotham as well as other Democrat-controlled cities.

“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” she told ABC News.
“We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day,” James said, admitting that she is drooling over stealing the Trump building and doling out the money, something that would normally be seen in a communist dictatorship.
“If you want something done, give it to a woman,” James boasted in a post to X, sharing a clip of her ABC News interview.
