Jonathan Turley. Jonathan, I did not know anyone in my life to try to get a $450 million bond, but one thing I found out, very few companies offer it. They went up to about 30. All 30 said we can't do that unless you have a billion dollars to put up. We don't want collateral. We don't want things to put up. We don't want properties. We want cash to put up. So therefore, we're at an impasse. What are the options for the former president? Well, this is obviously a situation where you don't have any good options, including getting the bond itself. And remember, if you get the bond, you still lose considerable amount of money on the cost of the bond. And this creates a sort of perverse incentive for judges like this one, who comes up with this astronomical, in my view, ridiculous level of damages. In everybody's view. Nobody thinks that number is good. Right. But basically, his position is in order to get any other judge to look at what I've done to you, you've got to come up with basically a half a billion dollars just to appeal. It's like a judge saying, "I'm going to take your house away, but you can appeal my decision. You just have to sell your house in order to do it." Many people look at this as a type of almost mob justice, as the attorney general ran on bagging Trump, she's now pledging to seize his property just because he can't come up with this bond. At some point, the courts have got to step in and say, "Look, this is just simply enough. You're requiring this astronomical bond just for this guy to be able to get any other judge to look at this decision." Sure. Jonathan, let's get in the way back machine because you just perfectly set it up. She ran on getting Trump, and here she is back when she was running before she tried to get Trump Watch. No one is above the law, including his illegitimate president. And so I look forward to going into the office of attorney general every day, suing him, defending your rights, and then going home. I say one name, Donald Trump. I should motivate you. Will you sue him for us? Oh, we're going to definitely sue him. We're going to be a real pain in the ass. I'm going to be a real pain in the ass.

What do you think will happen in this case as it relates to her and what should happen in your view? Well, this case is disassembling in front of our eyes. This was a very basic error. This is a major case, but these prosecutors didn't put together the most basic narrative or facts that have to support these counts. The question is, what did the grand jury know? If it wasn't in the indictment, how did they vote out these crimes? What were they told as the basis? Because the judge just said, "You're not even telling the defendant what he needs to know to defend himself. I don't know what facts you're alleging here." Now, they could go back to the grand jury and get a superseding indictment, but that's going to take time. It's going to take time off the clock, and they might have a problem doing what is obviously their overriding purpose here, which is to try Donald Trump before the election. They could just go without these counts. The judge said, "I'll let you refer to the underlying conduct. I just won't let you use them as standalone crimes for these particular counts unless you go back to the grand jury."
