“Any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price,” warns Rep. Sean Casten

A Democrat who sits on the House Financial Services Committee warned that former President Donald Trump’s inability to secure a bond for his $464 million fraud judgment makes him a “massive national security risk.”

Trump’s lawyers in a filing on Monday told a New York appeals court that he cannot secure a bond after approaching 30 underwriters.

“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” the attorneys wrote.

The filing quoted an insurance broker who signed an affidavit stating that securing the bond is a “practical impossibility.”

    Well he could fly over here and deliver it on person. Hopefully that route passes over Ukraine.

      Even if not, US is obligated to get him to the court. I imagine the hearings would last months, maybe years. But he can grab the bird by it’s tail and become, param-pam-pam!, a prison reviewer!

      This Supermax prison, khe-khe, is nothing like our Polar Wolf or Black Dolphin. Like, nothing at all. I’m collected in a clean environment, three foods per day, no torture. They feel like that’s how you treat your most dangerous bastards? Most of my countrymen strive to live like this, honestly.
