they would support him. they would support him. that tells you a lot. you can t separate that moment from this one right here. and his thorough co-opting of the republican party, his degradation of the republican party, his attempt to destroy a two-party system of politics which is what is unfolding before our very eyes. we re going city the mugshot presumably of a former president. since we have been on the air, we have crossed another never happened before moment for the american presidency. which is we have just for the first time ever in u.s. history had word from the new york times that this president, this is now confirmed by nbc news, has chosen his bail bondsman. it s just bizarre, but trump is going to use a commercial bail bondsman, charles shaw, foster bail bonds in georgia, to post his $200,000 bond. this has been confirmed by the bondsman himself. trump will pay the bondsman 10%
fulton county jail. harrison floyd, the leader of a group called black voices for trump. he did not negotiate bond prior to turning himself in. could fulton county be liable if something happens to him? well, the system that they ve been using is a little unusual. it s that you go to the courthouse, you know, where the district attorney s office is and you negotiate your bond ahead of time. so that s what mark meadows did. that s what donald trump did. that s what rudy giuliani did. then to a bondsman if necessary to secure that money. and then you go to the jail with that package. apparently he showed up in the jail without that package, which means the process reverses which is he has to get processed there on the warrant and then show up in court and have the bail set by a magistrate. so the question is how long is it going to be before he can get in front of a judge there? mr. floyd could have his
would expose him. so barr did his roy cohn for him. go ahead. i was going to say, we believe this process may be coming to a close. again, what we have just seen is that we have seen trump s motorcade has arrived at the fulton county jail. we had confirmation he had entered the jail, he was arrested and in custody. we now have confirmation that he has been released. so this is a brief period of custody. he was in fact under arrest. he is now released on his own recognizance. we know the terms of his bail. he s posted $200,000 bond. we believe that with the help of a bail bondsman, he had to put up $20,000 cash to that bondsman and he will put up the remainder to insure he doesn t flee. donald trump has on social media sort of joking about fleeing to russia. not a great time. not a great time. like making a bomb threat in an airport. if i can quote rachel on a
those have no more legal validity than counterfeit documents. and then to pile on top of the actions, there was a scheme here allegedly, and we have to remember mr. giuliani and all these defendants, innocent until proven guilty. can we just say this video that you re looking at is rudy giuliani, and i believe, is that bernie kerik with him, to be clear? walking into a bail bond office. is that what you call it? right. a bail bond office. that s the process by which they either put up the money to secure the bond that they ve already signed, and they does not present himself for the proceedings that he ll owe this money to the bondsman. bail bonds is the name of the place. this is the former president s former personal attorney, by the way former mayor of new york city, former prosecutor himself, who sent many folks he
prosecuted to bail bonds offices, bondsman offices like that in the past. now he himself is walking through that door. exactly. the historic nature of this, the man who was perhaps the most well-known prosecutor now having put so many people to surrender for arrest, to get bail bond, to be put on trial, to be indicted, now himself on the other side. question is giuliani the only one who would need to go can we presume that the former president will need to get similar insurance as it were? we don t know how he s going to pay for the bond. might himself right. he s allegedly a billionaire, so he can do that himself. you know, certainly from our understanding he s he can and is expected to use a bondsman, as well. it s a way for you to just put up minimal amount of money to
