The order also explicitly limits Trump’s ability to attack witnesses or his co-defendants, including on social media.

    Yes, it’s usually 10% if you go to a bail bondsman. And yes, you still owe them if you skip out, and they can hunt you down.

    I don’t think the secret service would let that happen though.

      You mean the same secret service that deleted subpeonaed evidence to protect themselves and trump?

      Why wouldn’t the secret service let a bail bondsman carry out the active attest warrant that’s sure to follow if he skips.

      Why would Trump even need a bail bondsman? He can surely afford to pay his own bail and get it all back, rather than taking the 10% bond as a loss.

        I was about to agree, but

        1. Trump never pays for anything up front.

        2. Trump never pays anyone who does a service for him.

        3. Logic and reason do not apply to his behavior.

        I mean they wouldn’t let him skip bail. If he somehow did, they’d probably help get him back.

        But we have no idea how much cash he actually has on hand.

          I would imagine they would. Their duty is to keep him safe, not help him carry out illegal activities. I think they could make the moral choice to take him in as long as they could be sure he would be safe being arrested. And if they can’t be I would imagine they would be pulling the strings to make it safe while keeping tabs and not staying hidden.
