Harrison Floyd was denied bond on Friday. A judge said he was a potential flight risk.
…
Floyd, who’s charged with racketeering, conspiracy and influencing a witness, turned himself in Thursday afternoon, ahead of Trump’s 20-minute appearance at the jail that evening. Prosecutors allege that Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and the only Black man among the defendants, was part of a scheme to pressure election worker Ruby Freeman into making false statements. Freeman had been falsely accused by Trump and his allies of election fraud.
I’m not saying he won’t be treated differently because he’s black. All I’m saying is that I’m this particular instance, being denied bail is 100% predictable when you get into fights with FBI agents, and being denied a public defender is 100% predictable when you have plenty of money to afford a lawyer.
What happens from here? I don’t know. But what’s happened so far is exactly what you’d expect to happen with anyone in his position.
