I don’t see the bail question as so much about the seriousness of the crime as more to do with the seriousness of the Eliot Ness like arrest. Here’s this guy who has to be taken down with heavy weapons and flak jackets before he gets to some serious weaponage or flys the scene in a getaway car. They’re after him like machine gun Kelly. As soon as he hits jail…enh…let him go.
It just shows what a melodrama was put on for political reasons
This is supposed to be an investigation, not opposition research.
They took him with heavy guns, flak jackets and in the middle of the night. The judge let him out and will tell his lawyer when to bring him into court.
You don’t see anything ridiculous about that?
If he lied he lied. And no, you don’t go in like that because someone lied to Congress. Mostly, historically, you just note that they lied and let them change the record.
“There were no expenditures that weren’t approved by Mr. Trump himself,” said Stone, who started working for Trump in the 1980s. “He saw the ads, television ads, which he would see on a video machine, radio ads, you play on a tape recorder, or newspaper ads, which he would see the artwork for.”
They had a search warrant. Asking him to show up in court doesn’t help that.
Maybe they could have given him the benefit of the doubt and just subpoenaed him for records. You know who doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt? People indicted for obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements. The reason should be obvious.
You said earlier in this thread that a search warrant was involved. Do you think search warrants are typically mailed as “a simple letter” to one’s attorney?
He had stated publicly for months that he was going to be arrested for exactly what he was arrested. He wasn’t going to make a mad dash to destroy documents. If he had any that he thought needed destroying, they were already gone.
I said that because some other poster had said that and I assume they were correct. Again…its kind of late to think he wouldn’t already have gotten rid of anything.
