The fourth episode of this season’s Breakdown podcast by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recounts a busy week where lawyers met with prosecutors to get bonds for their clients, including a $200,000 bond for former President Donald Trump.

“Show Time at Rice Street” of Breakdown’s Season 10 — “The Trump Indictment” — also covers one of the 19 defendants charged in the racketeering case after another surrendering at the Fulton County jail on Rice Street.

The episode also includes a roundtable discussion with two Breakdown regulars — former Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter and New York attorney Nick Akerman, who is a former federal prosecutor who successfully used racketeering indictments against crime families.
