Conservative commentator Dan Bongino argues former President Donald Trump should not post bond in Georgia.
During a segment of his podcast on Wednesday, Bongino said, “I don’t think the Trump team should post the bond… This may sound like a crazy idea. But folks, we’re living in crazy times. And crazy times require different crazy, bold approaches.”
He continued:
“Fani Willis wants to be a smart ass tyrant, little socialist communist like she is down in Fulton County, Georgia. Don’t post the bond. You 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 entire charade going.”
Bongino went on to suggest the Secret Service could clear out a floor of the prison so Trump “never sees another human being in that prison.”
“You’ve seen people around the world take a stand like this. And it’s easy for me to say — I get it, I wouldn’t be the one in a prison cell — but you want to send a message? Let’s see what happens. We should hold protests outside of that prison cell every single day… Make them put you in jail,” he concluded.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Trump in connection with her investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 Georgia election results.
On Monday, an Atlanta judge approved a $200,000 bond for Trump.
According to The Washington Post, “The former president is not allowed to communicate with witnesses or co-defendants about the case, except through his lawyers, and he is barred from intimidating witnesses or co-defendants.”
“He is also forbidden from making any ‘direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community,’ including in ‘posts on social media or reposts of posts’ by others on social media,” it added.
Trump is expected to surrender to authorities at the Fulton County jail on Thursday evening.
He has previously mocked the idea of having to post bond and denied wrongdoing in the case.
