“We don’t want to kill our
clients . . . it sort of kills [our] repeat business.” Yep, that’s what the
PBUS head said in an interview the other day.
Okay, I know that was
probably meant to be funny, but I listened to the rest of the interview and I heard
a lot of crazy-ass stuff – you know, stuff about George Soros being behind some
secret cabal that means the end to money bail in America.
Look, I know people like to
have an enemy. And I know it’s intriguing to talk about some dark, nefarious
enemy who nobody even knows about, but who is really some grand puppeteer
behind the scenes screwing things up for everyone. But in this case, it just isn’t
so. I’m right here. George Soros is somewhere out there. I do bail reform
everywhere. I’m not sure what he does anywhere. We haven’t talked, and I haven’t
even seen one word mentioned about him except from groups like PBUS.
Bail agents, if this is the
strategy that you told PBUS and ABC to pursue, then God bless you. But even if
you did, I hope you realize how nuts it all sounds out loud.
