That’s good news. Hopefully, someone can pay that bail percentage.

Hopefully, the whole damn thing will be dropped for the farce that it is, and Willis will be Nifonged after she gets interrogated in front of the entire planet by the House judiciary committee.

Very strange news, from my perspective.

Trump received just 12% of the Black vote in 2020.

Team Trump should have been all over this guy's legal and financial status BEFORE the surrender.

Now, the headline in Black newspapers and magazines will be that Trump abandoned the only Black defendant in this case, who is probably still locked up in the most dangerous jail in Georgia.

He probably couldn’t do that because Willis would most likely charge him with “bribing” a potential witness

Apparently it’s a crime for a black person to support Trump. They are sending a message to the other uppity blacks who want to leave the plantation.

Trump received only 12% of Black Vote in 2020.
I don’t consider myself paranoid or delusional, but
I don’t believe that’s all the black vote he earned.

My guess is there were enough blacks who hated Trump
‘to smithereens and back again’ that they would not hesitate to falsify the vote count, if such a person had a ballot counting job. I recall many stories of newspaper being taped over windows to Voting Areas, several back in my homestate of Michigan.

If you lived in California as I now do, you would know how blatant the cheating can be when the Dems really get down to the wire, and are not afraid of being caught, least not for two or three more years.

This will continue to grow until there is full, timely and heavyweight prosecution of such crimes.

There is a special donation fund set up to pay legal costs and basic living costs for Trump related defendants.

Unless that fund is broke, this guy is exactly the kind of person who should be receiving money and legal aid.

However, the assault charge on a federal agent and flight risk decision are brand new issues for me.

Maybe this guy attacked a Capitol Cop on January 6, and Team Trump wants to keep its distance?

I wish Trumps legal team would set something up for him. I would donate in a heart beat. It’s the right thing to do!

But that is not true. As been mentioned many times, he was denied bail last week as he was representing himself abd the crazy judge said he was a flight risk so no bond. He felt he didn’t need a lawyer because he was innocent and felt he could sign his name and be released. No one could have paid his bond because non was set until yesterday. He has a lawyer. Besides, this is a conspiracy case, not sure if it helps anyone’s case if Trump pays his bills

Why are you speculating? The FBI showed up at his house a few weeks ago related to this case, not sure of all the details of why, but not J6, and apparently manhandled him and they are claiming he pushed them away, they called it assault, nothings been adjudicated, and he is novetran with shrap metal in his leg. He’s not a flight risk. Non of these defendants are and any bond imposed is shameful and these judges should be removed.

Re: "Why are you speculating?"

In spite of being a life long avid news reader, and a daily reader of Free Republic, I had never heard of this guy before he got tossed in jail last Thursday.

Why are you pretending that I should know the details of his assault charge on federal agents?

And, the reason I posted this article is because I thought the $100,000 bond was absurd and punitive.

12% of 13% isn’t much

I guess it depends on how liquid, or readily available a person’s money is. It would be a decent gesture if some Free Speech organization were to step forward and pay that for him. They are not obligated, but the left do it all the time, and for people far more dangerous to society than this man.

Witness tampering. The rat prosecutors would love to pile on other charges.

If DJT bails out all the people associated with him, that would only encourage more political prosecutions.
