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:
My God, I think my face is stuck in a permanent grin now. That's amazing.
LMAO
Four Seasons Total Bail Bonds
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.
Selling motorboats
Selling handies behind Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Georgia has a 10% deal, so he only has to post $15K.

"The bond can be paid through cash, a commercial surety, or a court program that requires a payment of 10% of the bond amount."
Isn't someone still on the hook for the whole amount if he skips town? My understanding is that you pay the bondsman ten percent and they cover you, but if you blow town they're on the hook for the whole amount and will go after you.
This sounds like a special court program, so if they skip, the court goes after them.
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.
Ah, gotcha
