The bond amount is token anyway. Fleeing the country would mean leaving behind orders of magnitude more assets that any bail they could reasonably set.

Tbh I assumed that the prosecutor has some quiet deal with the governor and other important Georgia republicans that protects a few people with the right friends in exchange for their tacit protection.

Is there something I’m missing with the hearings about the DC case gag order? It seems like the actual objection is to the effect of the order on Trump’s political campaign. I feel like this idea that politicians (and possible other public figures?) benefit from a high standard of first amendment protection is a pretty dangerous one, given how many outright con men run for office to protect themselves already.

Sorry what is the theory that this is harmful to the defendant? Like, assuming that she did nepotistically bring in an under qualified prosecutor then that’s bad for her office and for justice in general but it outright benefits the defense.

Yeah I don’t see why some corrupt actor would take this as collateral but not some overvalued properties?

Yeah the judge and Bragg are free game because they’re public figures. They’re specifically left out of the gag order.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:*can* he sell without board permission, or is it just a federal crime to sell without such permission? My understanding is that he outright can't unless he gets the board in on it or somehow tricks the DTCC. Like if he tries to transfer the shares they'll basically go "uh, says here that these shares aren't allowed to change hands, do you have proof of permission?"

It would be subject to gift tax if the loan is obviously noneconomical but like, I don't think this dude is just giving Trump 175 mil. It probably IS a loan, probably just on favorable terms in terms of interest and timeframe.

The question is how will the court respond? Because they they just wag their finger and say “submit a new bond within 10 days” then this is unambiguously a win for Trump: he’ll have scammed himself and extra month to get things in order.

Lol I’ve been called for jury duty roughly annually for the last seven years, been dismissed during jury selection thrice, and served once. It’s obnoxious. I was called once prior to that but these last seven years I’ve been on the quick list or something.

Nitrousoxide posted:Yeah, I don't get why you'd use a bond company at that point. It makes some sense when you're securing the bond with otherwise non-liquid assets. But using fully liquid assets to secure a bond just means you're paying extra for no reason. Yeah the answer is "so he could play stupid games with the money".

John Yossarian posted:Do think Trump will be found gulity for the Stormy Daniels trial? I know being found guilty won't change anything for the chuds, but I hope people still on the fence will wake and vote for Biden this November. Way too early to know for sure. Depends on how much doubt Trump's legal team can generate.

Yeah there's no reasonable way to regulate public figures opining on a trial being covered in the media. Unless like, they catch Trump coercing/bribing them to do it. It's not even a socioeconomic or overly-permissive American free speech jurisprudence issue.
