One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in a wide-ranging election-fraud case in Georgia remained behind bars on Friday, after he told a judge that he could not afford a private attorney to represent him and was denied bond.

Harrison Floyd said at his first court appearance that he could not afford a private lawyer and had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify.

Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.

    I hope so, but I don’t see trump behind bars. Even the Dems don’t want that, as it sets a precedent that the elite is able to be brought to justice.

      I do. Sorry this is where we disagree. The president is a U.S. Citizen. The laws of this land must be applied equally to all.

          That’s a defeatist mentality. Then you wonder why the “elite” keep that title. Shame on you for giving into their will so easily.

          If you want change. Fight for it. Don’t lay down and let them take it or they will take it all.
