whaaaaaaaat?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/23/politics/tom-barrack-bail-hearing/index.html

A federal magistrate judge on Friday ordered Tom Barrack, a longtime associate of former President Donald Trump who was indicted earlier this week on charges of illegal foreign lobbying, released from jail pending trial, freeing him on a bail package that includes a $250 million bond secured by $5 million in cash.

The judge also ordered Barrack to wear a GPS location monitoring bracelet, barred him from transferring any funds overseas and restricted his travel to parts of Southern California and New York. He will have a curfew to be determined by pretrial services.
He must appear in federal court in Brooklyn on Monday, where he will be arraigned. A spokesman has said he intends to plead not guilty.

Barrack was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles, where he had an initial appearance in front of US Magistrate Judge Patricia Donahue. He had been in custody since then.

In a court filing, the Justice Department had asked that he be held in custody while he is moved to New York for his arraignment, calling him a serious risk of flight due to his "vast wealth," foreign connections and access to private aircraft.

They noted that his co-defendant in the case, Rashid Sultan Rashid Al Malik Alshahhi, fled the United States three days after he was interviewed by the FBI in 2018. Alshahhi hasn't returned to the United States, and he remains at large.
The court filings also alleged that Barrack had connections to senior leaders in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia -- both countries without extradition treaties with the United States. That created the potential, prosecutors said, that Barrack could have "the assistance" of those countries' "highest leaders" if he were able to flee to those countries via his private aircraft.
In discussions in the days following Barrack's detention, his legal team focused on trying to keep their 74-year-old billionaire client off of "Con Air," the famed US Marshals Service plane for transporting certain defendants who are in government custody, according to people familiar with the matter.

The judge on Friday also ordered another co-defendant, Matthew Grimes, released on a $5 million bond. Grimes will be subject to GPS location monitoring with an electronic bracelet and travel restriction.
The grand jury indictment, unsealed Tuesday, alleges that Barrack sought to influence policy positions of the US government and that he was working as a back-channel to the United Arab Emirates. He did not register as an agent of a foreign government, the indictment alleged, in violation of a law requiring that he do so. He was also accused of making several false statements about his UAE-related activities when he was interviewed by the FBI in June 2019.

ok, DT. whats the betting line that this dude finds a way to bolt out the US like the last freaking guy did. 5 million bonded out and he's "restricted" to parts of southern cal and NY.

doesn't seem like much of a restriction.

The name T R U M P will always live rent free in your leftist brains.

TDS
Trump Derangement Syndrome

OTD
Obsessive Trump Disorder

Soon to be OCTD

Symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Trump Disorder

OCTD manifests as uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts and behaviors related to Donald Trump. Much like the clinical disorder, OCTD shows up at work, school, in personal relationships, and on 24-hour national and global news channels.

People suffering from obsessive symptoms are preoccupied with Trump's opinions on sex, immigrants, globalism, weapons of mass destruction, and by his reports that our federal agencies are in tatters. Those with OCTD can't stop thinking and talking about his thinking and talking.

This sounds similar to doing similar to what the allegations were surrounding
Hunter Biden, and thus Joe Biden, through the statements involving giving the proceeds to the big guy,

Where Hunter Biden supposedly got a 5 figures per week job with a foreign energy company while having no background in the industry.

Which would be providing access, or selling access to government policy.

In the mean time, Hunter has become quite the artist, selling his painting for tens to hundreds of thousands each. HMMMM

Not only has this been proven to be not true - coming from folks who said not one word about Jared and Ivanaka being given influential positions in the last administration .... just exposes the hypocrisy.

Personally, if Hunter has done anything wrong, investigate and prosecute. The optics of Hunter's jobs and his art sales stink and I don't like it. Too bad fans of the last administration couldn't call out Jared's/Ivanaka's incompetence and unsuitability in positions they were given and say something similar.

NOPE. You don't get to misappropriate the initials OCD and drop a deplorable T for Trump in the middle. Nope. Nope. Nope.

And while I'm responding to you fish, let me just say that the whole premise behind your TDS is that any of us care enough about Trump to dwell on HIM. I despise the man as much as anyone but even I don't dwell on him. What brings us back every day to combat the politics that brought us Trump are the fanatical cult voices like yours expounding ridiculousness as fact on social media. You see, when you have to fight an ideological battle against an ideology that is rooted in lies, deceptions, white supremacy, bigotry, autocracy and fascism... well you just don't stop fighting because one enemy soldier falls. NOPE. You have to punch all the fascists in the nose before the war is over. So your so called syndrome is nothing more than Trumpians reacting ignorantly by deflecting criticism of the hateful deplorable Trumpian base onto the dems in the form of a made up disease. Y'all try so hard to blame dems for every wrong even when YOU are the thing that's wrong with the country... and you think we have TDS when it's really people like you that can't give up the white christian dominance of our society for an inclusive government for all.

This is the responses to what just happened?

Sad stuff.

Sitting on a board of directors vs. acting as a subversive foreign agent lobbying our government... You seriously can't see the difference? Hunter Biden is nothing more than a silver spoon kid getting everything handed to him just like Trump's spawn. He seems to have drug issues just like Don Jr. and is also as dumb as Eric Trump from what I can tell... the big difference is that daddy Biden is not a con man and lifetime crook and swindler like Trump. And I think it's that difference that makes Trumpians dwell on Hunter Biden like hillary's emails.

Meanwhile back on topic, Barrack is most likely going to bolt. They should have never given him bail because he is already facing asset forfeiture if convicted... If I'm going to lose everything either way, I'm opting for the option that let's me live outside of prison. It will be interesting to see if he tries to run.

Hilary Clinton lives rent free in Trumps brain... What the hell is you point?

Are you suggesting that a criminal act be ignored because the criminal is in some way a friend of Trump?

He doesn’t know what he’s suggesting. Or at least he can’t explain it in his own words. He’s likely looking for a Tucker Carlson clip to post that’ll ‘explain’ the article he posted. Fish hasn’t posted his own thoughts on the board since he’s joined. He waits for Faux and OANN to give him his talking points/marching orders.

It's how they try to silence people. Trump's cronies do something illegal. they get arrested. How many convicts are associated with Trump and his time in office again? His business?

Yet somehow, if you talk about it rather than ignore it, it's you who are the problem. It's all white noise to try to silence everyone from reporting the truth about Trump. Somehow it makes them feel better about Trump's criminal buddies he has always had do his dirty work for him.

Heck, Trump gets his lawyer to pay off a porn star and it's his lawyer who ended up in jail. Ooooh, but don't talk about it!

I've said it before and I'll repeat it.. If you associate with Trump and don't watch your back, you may find yourself in hot water..

Anyone that gets arrested now cannot look forward to a pardon anytime soon..

you lay down with Dogs, you gotta expect fleas

You're in luck...I found one fitting your description!

He found one.
