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.
Upvoted for con-conspirators.
I kinda wish you said updooted because...reasons
From my understanding of the quote, he talked to him before he got booked, so he might not have been subject to the bond's requirements yet.
Pff. No mugshot? I want to see the hair dye running down again.

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.
ray smith looking like evil conan
Yeah, not sure who that guy is, but he's pretty scary looking.
I think he was on unsolved mysteries.
The grins on some of them tell me they really drank the stupid juice
I have to wonder... Can they even conceive of this ending with them in prison? Or are they so far gone that the idea of consequences just can't break through?
They're on stage, can't get caught seeming like you don't believe the lie.
They just do whatever they think will benefit them the most in the immediate moment.
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.
5'9 sounds accurate, but 180 pounds? That seems a bit generous. I bet they just asked him and didn't bother weighing him.
I was most interested in his BAC, too bad they didn't take that.
Someone said they just use whatever it says on your ID
NY licenses don't have weight on them (assuming Rudy still has one)
I think he was referring to BAC on his ID
Name: Giuliani, Rudolph
BAC: Yes
Their BAC tests probably would max out
They did, but the machine caught fire from the fumes.
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.
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..
Rudy is proudly defending every American's right to be a criminal dickbag. A defeat here would be a loss for assholes everywhere.
Your know he's getting old and tired because he forgets to remind people that he was NY mayor during 9/11.
He doesn't see his actions as criminal.
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:
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
Georgia has a 10% deal, so he only has to post $15K.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-bond-set-200000-fulton-county-election-interference/story?id=102431955
"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
I legit thought this is what the third bullet point said.
As opposed to all the other times he's talked to reporters...
Would also have been news
Four Seasons Total Criminal Arraignment
Are they making them do a proper booking and appear at the arraignment in jail clothes after sitting in a cell for a bit?
Or is this just more proof they are above the law?
They absolutely should but I'm going to guess no.
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.
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.
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.
