Rudy Giuliani was the top Trump campaign lawyer promoting false claims that ballot fraud led to the election of President Joe Biden in Georgia and elsewhere.

Edit Sidney Powell now too!

    Does Rudy have the money to post bail?

      I’m sure some seedy bailbond place will happily loan him the money.

        No joke, the NYT article says:

        After his booking, Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, stepped out of an S.U.V. to address a throng of reporters, calling the case “an attack on the American people.” He then made his way to A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, a business near the jail.

        Man, I sure wouldn’t, even if I was a staunch conservative. He doesn’t seem like someone who pays his bills if he can avoid it.

          I would. Just the slim chance that I get to send a bounty hunter after him would be worth it.

      I was also wondering this since he’s been begging for money for his legal bills.

        There was recent reporting that Trump hasn’t paid Giuliani or Eastman. I wonder what else Giuliani has been doing for money.

      Georgia has a 10% deal, so he only has to post $15K.

      https://abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-bond-set-200000-fulton-county-election-interference/story?id=102431955

      “The bond can be paid through cash, a commercial surety, or a court program that requires a payment of 10% of the bond amount.”

        What is the point of a large bail bond if 10% is all that needs to be paid? Why not get rid of that and just set it at whatever 10% is?

          If you skip out on court, you owe the whole thing.
