Unbelievable. I hope this encourages Judge Merchan to start Trump's criminal trial tomorrow.

...I'm sure there's some poor black kid sitting in bail jail at Rikers because he and his family can't come up with the $500 he needs to get out on his "driving with a busted tail light" charge from 3 months ago.

Now, he only needs 188 bucks based on the standard set by the New York Appellate. Another 10 days it might drop to a Benjamin. I'm sure they'll let him go with a discounted bail cuz...you know...law for one, law for all, right?
