BREAKING: Appeals Court allows Trump to pay a much smaller bond of $175M and gives him 10 days to post it. @MSNBC Miscarriage of Justice.
There are no reasons given from the appeals court. I assume he still owes $474M but is being allowed to secure it with far less. More to come…
Here is the ruling.
@MuellerSheWrote The rules apply differently to celebrities and the rich. No one else would’ve gotten this
@MuellerSheWrote Something smells. In his public statements he had the money to post the full bond and now he has a 10 day extension for a much lower bond? Was he playing chicken with the court hoping for the appellate ruling?
@MuellerSheWrote If this were any of us average Joe’s, this would not be allowed. Why is he getting special treatment?
@MuellerSheWrote And so it goes. These attempts, if they failed, would be added to the list of reasons to appeal future convictions. Prosecutors know that. Florida Man will die before he's imprisoned. #MMW
@MuellerSheWrote Different set of standards! My goodness it’s freaking obvious. Is there any justice out there?
@MuellerSheWrote So it sounds like the ruling barring them from doing business are still in effect.
@MuellerSheWrote At the very least, they should expedite the appeal and get it over with.
@MuellerSheWrote Can this stay be appealed? The court offers no precedent for why they should allow this violation of state law. As I understand it, the court does not have the power to do this.
@MuellerSheWrote And no reason given. What a joke. And I say that as someone who has resisted the "two tiered justice system" argument for a long time. This is an absolute disgrace.
