In Georgia, the lone black male defendant in the Trump case rots in jail

If only Harrison Floyd’s first name were George. If only he’d been a convicted felon who passed a counterfeit bill, filled himself with illegal drugs, and resisted arrest. If that were the case, he’d have had millions of dollars flowing to him from Hollywood and Democrat politicians, and he’d have been a media hero. However, Harrison Floyd isn’t a thug of color. Instead, he’s a retired Marine vet, living with his family and getting by on his pension. And he’s also a black Trump supporter, which is why he’s rotting in a Fulton County jail.

One of the important things to remember about all this Democrat criminal lawfare against anyone who dared support Donald Trump is that it’s intended to destroy them economically. A great lawyer can cost close to $1,000 per hour (although, if he’s decent, he’ll hand the work to young lawyers and paralegals who will cost $300-$400 an hour). A good lawyer will cost about $400 an hour. A mediocre lawyer will cost about $250 per hour.

What this means for a client is that even a single court appearance on a simple matter (preparing documents, travel time, time spent in the courtroom) can result in a $1,000 to $4,000 bill. On a single complicated motion, you’re looking at $25,000 to $100,000 in legal fees. (Maybe more; I haven’t worked on a big case in about 15 years.)

If you’re rich, you can probably absorb this for years. If you’re middle-class, you can absorb this for months before your savings are exhausted, and you are no longer middle-class. And if you’re poor, you can’t afford this at all. Moreover, the public interest lawyers who line up to represent the George Floyds of this world tend to be leftists. They’re not going to volunteer their services

Leftists are not going to support anyone ( let alone a black man ) who dared to show his support for Trump.

Harrison Floyd was the director of Black Voices for Trump, which is the scariest organization in America if you’re a Democrat. That’s because, while blacks thrived economically under Trump, Biden has been a disaster for them. His inflation has drained the middle class and left the poor even poorer—and that means that blacks have seen whatever wealth they accrued during the Trump years vanish. If a leading motivation for voting is the economy, blacks have had the Biden economy pounding them into the ground.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis isn’t the only one afraid of Floyd. Jack Smith is, too, which is why Floyd was one of those in the crosshairs of Jack Smith’s January 6 investigation. In that case, the FBI claimed that he “yelled at, pushed and struck an agent who was serving a subpoena at his Maryland home…” Floyd was charged with assaulting an FBI agent. Let me act the role of a Fox News debate moderator: Raise your hand if you trust the FBI’s version of events.

I just sent mine; if a black man is willing to sit in jail for my freedom, I am willing to get him out by any means available to me, starting with the legal means.

Bttt

The article states that left wing lawyers only work for free for liberals (paraphrasing). Why doesn’t a conservative lawyer offer to represent him? Or why doesn’t Trump pay his legal fees?

Someone call ACLJ :

or America First Legal:

I’ll be blunt: the longer he stays (to a point) in jail the more it helps Trump.

No doubt pizzing off the blacks in Atlanta. Way to fail Fani!

Better for Trump if he pays the guy’s bail (assuming bail has been set).

[McGavin999]

His lawyer was on NewsMax. Fat Fani made sure she drug her feet on the bond until Friday night and the court wouldn’t hear it until Monday morning.

We do need to find a legit Give Send Go account for him though.

Floyd was not convicted in the Fbi assault case, ergo the
judge said it was not relevant in the Trump related case.

Unfortunately when he turned himself in, he had not
negotiated a bond deal....... that’s why he’s in prison.

[chajin]

It's in the article.

[Michael.SF.]

Agree. That was my thinking behind the “depends on how long” comment. Trump needs to step up on this issue.

[McGavin999]

How do we know that’s a legit on. Is it sponsored by Black Voices for Trump? If so I’m in

Bail has not been set. Nothing Trump can do.

[vivenne]

I dont think those organizations represent individuals in criminal cases.

[vivenne]

It has not been set. There is no way to pay something that doesn’t exist. The judge is literally letting him rot in jail with no way out.

[vivenne]

I know there is a legitimate fundraising effort for him, but I can’t remember if this is it.

[McGavin999]

Ok just gave next weeks grocery money. I hope he’s out Monday

[vivenne]

Well, the judge said he was a felon, which he is not, and therfore a flight risk. She then said she couldn’t set bail, which was another lie, and that the next judge McAfee would possibly set bail when he gets back from vacation. This guy is being railroaded and was put in the worst jail in the country.

[McGavin999]

I hope it is. I just made a donation. I hope it’s for legal fees and his band when it’s set. This is a good man and it makes me furious they did this to him.
