Judge Sets $100,000 Bail For Hoaxsters Facing Charges For Bogus Vote-By-Mail Robocalls | Talking Points Memo

A duo of far-right fringe hoaxsters each face a $100,000 bond related to voter intimidation charges brought by the Michigan Attorney General. Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl — who have been caught up in comically bogus plots to go after President Trump’s foes in the past — were accused last week of being behind robocalls that made false and racially-charged claims about mail-in voting.

A 100K bail means that they have to come up with 10K. It should not be too hard for these guys to raise them in GoFundMe or through the wingnut welfare network.

Really. I suppose the court’s hands are tied, but if ever there was a case for no bail theirs was it.

Hoaxsters? More like felons.

My dad was as honest as the day is long. A man of few words.
Imagine my surprise then, when out-of-the-blue he told me:
“If you’re going to steal something? Steal something big. Make it worth your while.”

Sounds like these guys had stupid dads.

Burkman’s lawyer, Scott Grabel, played down the threat to voters the robocalls imposed. “This was not about deterring voting. The message was about concerns about mail in voting only.”

So “mail in voting” isn’t “voting”?

Trump and his cult keep saying the quiet part out loud.

Maybe someday we’ll hear a Judge say " You are here because you victimized people not because you were victimized…take responsibility and if you try insulting the Court again you’ll regret it"…

Maybe

brandished $100 bills and had a film crew in tow.

I hope they had enough to pay the film crew after they each peeled off 1,000 hundred dollar bills.

Fun Fact: A stack of 1,000 one hundred dollar bills would measure 4.3 inches high.

Better check those $100 bills, probably were run off on a copy machine, or drawn in :crayon:.

So that’s what Donnie is using as lifts in his shoes? Where’d he get $2000?

One thousand one hundred dollar bills is one hundred thousand dollars.
Two shoes would therefore require two hundred thousand dollars.
So, Satan’s Avatar isn’t 6’ 3.3" tall.
He’s actually 5’ 11" tall with 4.3" lifts in his shoes.
And that is how he smuggles money out of the White House, $200,000 at a time.
Where does he get the cash?
Every hand he shakes.
