Based on everything that lead up to this they will just lower the amount and give him even more time to find someone else, because rulings and laws just don't appear to mean anything.
The government is scared of Trump supporters and it shows.
Also the courts treating an ex president with kids gloves because god forbid they be treated like a regular person.
They worry he will win in November. Really we need to make sure he loses and then they can throw his ass in prison.
They need to hold him accountable now or lose their job or worse. That's not fair to the rest of us for them to shrug off their duties like that.
Unfortunately we don't live in a world were the rich can be held accountable. Hell 90% of Congress are millionaires. They system is set up for the 1%. We are oligarchy not a democracy. Trump getting away with his crimes in plain sight is proof of that.
There is no reason to wait.
Yeah I'm actually surprised the government is so weak against them. Kind of makes me not respect the laws much anymore lol
So far it seems that they are handling his bond like every other criminal. I don't understand how it got reduced though.
Reducing the amount and the extensions is not handling it like every other criminal.
The reduction isn't common, but it does happen. It's often seen when the appeals court has reason to believe the original judgement will be reduced on appeal.
Interesting. Thank You
