That's way too low.

LMAO. Why not just not even set bond? That's fucking nothing for someone like him.

Don't worry, he will still use a fundraiser to pay for it.

But what are the chances he doesn't threaten someone. That's where he's going to fuck himself.

All these trials are already exhausting, and all I’m doing is reading about them. The payoff had better be worth it. I want to see this bastard go to prison.

Click here to see the summaryFormer President Donald Trump has agreed to a $200,000 bond in the Georgia criminal case charging him with trying to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.

Willis last week hit the former president and 18 others with racketeering charges for allegedly scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the case, and gave the defendants until Aug. 25th to surrender voluntarily at the Rice Street Jail.

Under the terms of his order, Eastman "shall report to pre-trial supervision every 30 days," and "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."

Eastman — who's referenced but not charged as a co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith's federal criminal case against Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the 2020 election results — features prominently and repeatedly in the DA's indictment.

It alleges that Eastman helped come up with and carry out a scheme to have "alternate" presidential electors cast their votes for Trump in Georgia and several other states that were won by Joe Biden.

Hall is charged with racketeering and six criminal conspiracy counts relating to a scheme to access voting machines and data in rural Coffee County.
