    Jenna Ellis, a lawyer who assisted Mr. Giuliani in his efforts to keep Mr. Trump in power after he lost in 2020, expressed frustration over the looming legal costs a few days after her indictment in the case. “Why isn’t MAGA, Inc. funding everyone’s defense?” she asked last week on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Oh look, a crack in the wall.

    The fine is a joke to Trump, but that’s not the intresting part of this bond. It’s the gag order that the Judge added to this release:

    “Under his bond agreement in Georgia, Mr. Trump cannot communicate with any co-defendants in the case except through his lawyers. He was also directed to “make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community,” including “posts on social media or reposts of posts made by another individual.”

    Yeah, he should be in pre-trail detainment by now. But it’s disingenuous to look at this bond, only look at the fee, and say it’s worthless. I think the gag order has some real value. It’s another step towards throwing his ass in pre-trail detainment.
