Conservative commentator and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has given Donald Trump some legal advice of sorts ahead of the former president’s arrest and booking in a Fulton County, Ga., jail later Thursday.
Bongino said on Wednesday that when Trump is booked and taken before a judge, he should refuse a bond and force District Attorney Fani Willis to put him behind bars, adding during his daily radio show that these “crazy times” called for “different, crazy, bold approaches.”
“Folks, I don’t think the Trump team should post the bond. I don’t,” he began. “This may sound like a crazy idea, but folks, we’re living in crazy times. And crazy times require different, crazy, bold approaches.”
“Fani Willis wants to be a smarta** tyrant, little socialist communist like she is down in Fulton County, Georgia? Don’t post. Don’t post the bond,” Bongino, also a former NYPD officer, continued. “You’re gonna jail him? Let’s elect our first political prisoner. Go ahead. Go to jail. Let the Secret Service shut the entire jail down, and we’ll see how long you’re willing to keep this charade going.”
