Rudy Giuliani booked in Trump Georgia election interference case, bond set at $150,000

Edit Sidney Powell now too!
Edit 2 Mugshot here:
Upvoted for con-conspirators.
Pff. No mugshot? I want to see the hair dye running down again.
Hot off the presses: https://lemmy.ml/...
Get that fucking American flag pin off your fucking lapel you goddamn traitor.
I guess he figured out that he had to go to Atlanta Corrections and not some store called Correction Atlanta or something.
Is that hair dye or after a night out with Trump?
Looks a bit like a vampire.
Are we sure it wasn't his blood?
It might have been whatever was dripping down Gary Oldman's head in The Fifth Element.
Nope, just grade a motor oil. That’s the secret
IIRC we didn't get immediate mugshots on the others either. Probably by EOD or tomorrow.
Yeah, not sure who that guy is, but he's pretty scary looking.
The grins on some of them tell me they really drank the stupid juice
I might just have to print, frame, and hang this.
How whimsical. They won't, but I hope they rot.
It's just what a family member texted to me - I didn't crop anything.
My wife sent me this variant, not sure of the source, but I lolled...
They just uploaded the mugshot, check the link again. He looks as charming as always.
I saw. He looks drunk. He probably was.
Someone said they just use whatever it says on your ID
I think he was referring to BAC on his ID
As a New York City resident who lived through Rudy's term, may I say how glad I am to see that picture.
In a few years he might qualify for a work-release program through Four Seasons Landscaping.
“I’m feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney,” Giuliani said.
He realizes this is a criminal case, not a rights case, right?
Edit: they edited the story and removed the quote. His original and full answer can be found here..
Your know he's getting old and tired because he forgets to remind people that he was NY mayor during 9/11.
He's defending his right to lie in a court of law...
I mean you just kind of stumbled onto the strategy he'll be using. Always better to fight on a ground of your choosing.
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:
After his booking, Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, stepped out of an S.U.V. to address a throng of reporters, calling the case “an attack on the American people.” He then made his way to A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, a business near the jail.
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 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.
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.
As opposed to all the other times he's talked to reporters...
Would also have been news
Not sure about the jail clothes, but defintely yes on the rest.
Wow Rudy's mugshot may just give me enough vigor to fight off the case of COVID I caught.
Apparently he doesn't have $150,000 sitting around, as he was seen going into a bail bondsmans office.
$15k*
Since Georgia has Bail Bondsmen, I don't believe they "10%" the bails. That's what the bondsmen are there for. He just "wasted" 15k at the bondsman, since he would have gotten the entire $150,000 back, (minus court costs and fines if found guilty) but he won't see a dime of that $15,000 he just paid the bondsman.
I feel like there has got to be someone Photoshoping these into something worthy of a tshirt. I have money ready and I want to spend it.

Isn't that against the terms set by the judge for Trump not to talk to con-conspirators?
Edit: The typo stays, since it fits.
