The reporting I've read makes it pretty clear that he can't. The bond isn't legit, Knight did not actually agree to cover it, and lacks the capital to do so anyway.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's set to reveal something or another all time time and never does.
Like his better than Obamacare insurance plan? Still waiting on that one.
It was to be revealed 'in two weeks'...9 years ago.
Eternal Two Weeks
Its weirder that people willfully ignore that he has said he both has released his tax returns and that its illegal and he won't ever release them. Logically they cannot exist at the same time.
Eternal Two Weeks of the Empty Mind
It's quite simple.
You get sick or hurt, you die.
Vulture Capitalists and actual vultures pick you clean.
See? Easy peasy.
So the plan part would be to make them wait until you die before picking you clean?
Infrastructure week
This article is dated this morning (8am ET). It talks about having to post a real bond today (April 15th) or the seizures can commence. At the time of my post its 6:30pm ET. I would expect the courts would now be closed for business and the outcome of this is decided, but I can't find any articles tell us the outcome. Am I missing something?
Things can be electronically filed through Pacer 24 hours per day. Depending on the local rules there may be a cutoff for what is considered timely that day, but it's usually after close of business. I wouldn't expect any action on this today.
I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for volunteering this background info!
Too bad he and his legal team are tied up all day with something else... Wonder if they have until midnight or COB to file?
That said, can't wait to see what excuse the courts find to further reward his supreme negligence. Reduce the bond amount even more? Waive it altogether?
Edit: extension until after the election?
He's revealing his thoughts on the next James Bond actor.
