Malignant Loser To Be Booked In Atlanta Thursday

 

This Thursday, the Malignant Loser will appear at the Fulton County, GA, jail to be arraigned on thirteen counts of election fraud and racketeering stemming from his attempted corruption of the 2020 election in Georgia. The jail is considered a dirty and dangerous place, and should give him his first jolting taste of what should be in his future. His bail -- a first among his four arraignments -- was set at $200,000 by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. The bond agreement states that the Malignant Loser is prohibited from threatening or intimidating witnesses or co-defendants, something that he's frequently attempted to do via his social media. From the Washington Post:

"An Atlanta-area judge approved a $200,000 bond Monday for former president Donald Trump, who is expected to surrender later this week on charges that he and 18 allies illegally conspired to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia.

The bond agreement, known as a consent bond order, sets strict rules for Trump’s release. The former president is not allowed to communicate with witnesses or co-defendants about the case, except through his lawyers, and he is barred from intimidating witnesses or co-defendants. He is also forbidden from making any “direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community,” including in “posts on social media or reposts of posts” by others on social media.

'The defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him … to be a co-defendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,' the agreement says." (our emphasis)

Keep in mind that one of the witnesses for the prosecution is his former ticket mate former VP Mike "Fly Guy" Pence, who has become somewhat more outspoken on the campaign trail as he fights for the 2024 nomination. That raises the issue of whether the reckless Malignant Loser will attack Pence as part of his stay-out-of-prison campaign and run afoul of the consent bond order. He's already attacked Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis subsequent to the order, which does not cover attacks on the DA or the judge. 

We're counting on his violating the order at the first opportunity, falsely whining that it violates his First Amendment rights, despite witness and jury tampering being felonies. We're also counting on a stiff penalty for the first violation, and exponentially tougher ones if he continues.
