I think they were saying the bond would have to be for 10%. If so, that's a crazy tool for a tyrant to be able to wield. They can make an egregiously unjust ruling and set the penalty so high that you can't even afford to appeal.
Where do you think this is going? Not the Trump element specifically, but this kind of weaponized politically motivated prosecution.

it will be tit for tat
Where are all the frivolous charges and suits against Democrats, then?
Most states have Republican administrations and those DA's don't seem inclined to follow the Democrats' lead. They don't even seem inclined to prosecute cases of real wrongdoing. Maybe that will change, but for now I'd say the situation is extremely asymmetrical.
Btw, like you, I'm no fan of Trump in particular or Republicans in general.

I can see that too, but it's still very asymmetric.
Trump is the current champion of the right and he's been under attack continuously since he came down that escalator nine years ago. Biden is a used up husk that has absolutely no significance to the left or the regime anymore.
Jonathan Turley made the same exact point.
