I thought it was scheduled for this hour, moved up from Monday so he wouldn't have to spend the weekend in jail.

And, I'm sure this a-hole can afford it.

That will get you held without a bailbond in federal court

(14,704 posts)5. I heard a former prosecutor a few days ago say that
Barrack would be required to turn in all (known) passports as a condition of bail.
But high-level criminals like Barrack always have multiple forms of fake identification, in anticipation of an indictment.
Only Barrack knows of all the crimes he's committed. He didn't get to be a billionaire by being a decent, law-abiding citizen.
