re: #144 steve_davis

they can ASK. and the judge can politely decline, which he would presumably do because if he asked the prosecutor his opinion, it would be something along the lines of “tell ‘em to go suck an egg.”

The Democratic-appointed judges in the real estate fraud trail keep inexplicably giving Trump an infinite amount of second chances to post an actual bond, so I wouldn’t be 100% confident in anything at this point.
