With a deadline looming, today trumps lawyers said its not going to happen. They claim are Feigneding Insurmount appear difficulties, calling it a, quote, practical impossibility to get a bond for that amount, says trump went to four brokers, and everybody turned him down.

From the outside having worked in politics, thats what it looked like to me. So, to read that narrative is what made that indictment, the fourth in just a few short months, different from the others.
