Note - I am not a lawyer. Someone who is needs to weigh in also...
The other night I posted a reply to someone about Trump's $200,000 bail he will have in the GA case. I couldn't understand why he would even need bail since he is surrounded by federal agents at all times - he ain't going anywhere. Then I heard about the terms of the bail... Number 4(e) specifically worries me.
(4) The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice. Id. This shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
a. The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant;
b. The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any witness including, but not limited to, the individuals designated in the Indictment as an unindicated co-conspirators Individual 1 through Individual 30;
c. The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any victim;
d. The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community;
e. **The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual on social media; **
The terms are wide open with the "but is not limited to". I think they are going to either frame him with social media posts, or just wait for a "mean tweet" and put him in jail. Worse yet - his team is asking for a 2026 trial date. If the judge suddenly and magically agrees and the DA also magically agrees then they are planning to put him away through the election.
Someone on his team needs to know this.
Here are his actual bail terms: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23921620/23sc188947-consent-order.pdf
This feels like excess hand-wringing of the PDW sort.
The thing only it mentions is THREATS. He can say whatever he likes without threatening anyone. He is a spectacularly effective communicator.
Of course the other side will claim that his saying the sky is blue constitutes a threat against clouds. But I think this goes nowhere except to bolster his case that the ruling party (which committed TREASON when it stole the 2020 election and executed the coup d'etat) has simply weaponized the DOJ against their political opponent, the runaway favorite for president (still). The harder they mash on him, the harder he pushes back. Every time.
