Ok so number 1, this post is not a meme and should be deleted by a mod as it breaks the stated rules of the community. There are plenty of other communities that this could be posted to.

2 this seems fairly normal according to all the interviewed officials except Pam Bondi, Marjorie Traitor Greene, and other R's who are trying to tar this as a (((deep state))) / liberal/Democratic AG action. I'm personally careful about jumping on their bandwagon, even if its related to a state official of a criminal government (Likud) that's currently committing a genocide.

Interviewees all state this is the standard bail for this crime in Las Vegas, others charged also posted bail and none submitted their passport. It is not uncommon for people charged to return to their home country if the US has an extradition treaty with them (as the US does with Israel).

  1. it is literally a meme and you are a stick in the mud
  2. it is insanely news worthy, and not being widely covered. if it is "normal" maybe it should not be...
