I’m getting over my skis here, since there hasn’t been a trial, let alone a conviction, but what if Trump went to prison? Would he still get Secret Service protection? So he wouldn’t get shivved in the shower? Yeah, I think about stuff like that. I’m retired!
@LiberalLibrarian That would be some duty, huh? Would they have to stay in his cell or just wait around for the times he’s out with the population? “My Years In Prison Without Being Convicted.” A Secret Service agent’s memoir. Should make the NYT bestseller list!
@johnldeboer "Unpresidented." *snerf*
@LiberalLibrarian That would have made a great title if Trump had been convicted in the Senate!
@johnldeboer Check out the "Jack" podcast (https://mswmedia.com/show/jack-a-special-counsel-podcast/) Andy McCabe speculated he wouldn't go to a "hard time" type of prison, but to some sort of "country club" prison. Maybe he'll get house arrest and an ankle monitor. "Pick one, Bedminster or Mar Al Lago, 'cause that's where you're stayin'". I can live with that.
@scottlink Yeah, McCabe’s probably right. But house arrest, if he gets convicted of espionage, seems kinda light.
@scottlink And let’s not forget that some documents are still missing.
@johnldeboer he will be in federal prison, like a country club vs shiv in the arse prison
@johnldeboer The answer is: Yes. Barring an act of Congress, or Trump declining USSS protection, he would keep his detail.
