Does it feel like the news is all opinion pieces these days? All I see is “someone said something on Twitter” lately.
What? You don’t want to hear about the latest thing Elon Musk said/did on/with Twitter?
Lock. Him. Up.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The $200,000 bond approved for Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case is significant as it suggests the former president “cannot be trusted” to surrender to authorities for processing, according to a legal expert.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee approved the amount for the former president on Monday, the first time Trump has been asked to post bond in any of the four criminal cases he is involved in.
Discussing the bond arrangement, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman said that while the amount of money is not an issue for the former president, it is noteworthy that Judge McAfee should take steps to ensure that Trump does hand himself in.
But the bigger provision is the anti tampering condition—he can’t do anything to intimidate any co-deft or witness or otherwise obstruct the administration of justice," Litman posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The former president is not allowed to communicate with witnesses or any of the 18 other co-defendants in the case, which includes his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and his ex-personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, except through his lawyers.
Trump was previously accused of witness intimidation via his Truth Social posts by legal experts after suggesting that former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan shouldn’t testify to a grand jury just prior to the Fulton County indictment being announced.
The original article contains 596 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 62%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“… something of an indignity that he has to post something”
LAWL… that a former PRESIDENT has to post BOND because he’s considered at risk of fleeing the REPUBLIC… yeah, something of an indignity… that’s exactly what Washington would have said…
on racketeering charges no less
In this case, I don’t think it’s a matter of “so he’ll show up in court” as opposed to “so he’ll stop shitposting”. Which he won’t. My wild-ass guess is that the sequence will be Trump violates bond conditions–>original bond is forfeited and new bond is set at a much higher amount, say $1,000,000–>Trump violates second bond—>bond revoked, Trump remanded into custody.
They shouldn’t have even set one. It’s just gonna make his base donate.
Trump still has his passport. He is flying out to Saudi Arabia or israel where the US can’t touch him.
You might need to update your list of countries outside of the US’ sphere of influence - those are both close allies. :)
I mean, I kinda hope for a Dog - Trump Showdown
