First Time That Defendant TOFF Doesn't Get a Free Pass

Donald Trump’s bond has been set at $200,000 in the Georgia case accusing the former president of illegally scheming to overturn his 2020 election loss, according to court papers filed Monday.

Trump is also barred from intimidating co-defendants, witnesses or victims in the case — including on social media — according to the bond agreement signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Trump’s defense attorneys and the judge. It explicitly includes “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media.”

In the previous cases, he's gotten a free pass when it comes to bonding. Multiple felony counts and he gets a ROR. He hasn't been required to fork over his passport in those cases, or in this one. I can't wait for the MAGA crowd to start whining about that, all the while forgetting how much they have complained about bail reform.

My guess is that he won't abide by the bail conditions in the hope that he'll be locked up, just like his spiritual master. He's probably got someone already ghosting his prison memoirs

  1. "his spiritual master."
    Would that be The Father of Lies? And thus it is that the evangelicals enter the Pit.

  2. No, the guy whose book of speeches the TOFF kept on his nightstand, according to his first wife.

  4. I know if I did any of those things I'd have spent time in a
    holding cell if not worse.

    He's still getting off easy. Least this one has actual cost.



    Eck!
