I feel like losing the protection of the secret service should be part of being tried and convicted of a crime if you are the president.
The secret service will be there to prevent other inmates from beating national secrets out of him.
Trump? Keep secrets?
Well in theory that's why they'd be there....
Fair point, but the rules are not specifically for Trump, they're for any US ex president.
Alright, they're there to prevent him just blurting them out with no prompting whatsoever.
I think you need the Sedation Service for that.
This is why he'll never be in general population.
Shit all they have to do is tell him the Democrats said XYZ and he'd tell them why they're wrong.
Trump would likely be segregated from other prisoners (aka solitary confinement) for his own safety & the safety of the guards.
Is anything that man had access to even a "secret" anymore?
I honestly doubt he remembers anything at this point.
The problem is it makes them an easy target, especially in the future when a conservative court convicts a liberal president over jaywalking or some stupid shit. Slippery slope, I guess is what I'm saying
I mean, it's pretty easy to limit it to felonies.
They know too much to be left without protection.
It's about our safety at that point.
Maybe they let things go down as long as national security isn't at risk?
Edit: getting tired of edits and misspellings introduced to my posts after ive posted them.
Most would but Trump probably cant remember any secrets anyway.
yeah but the principle of the thing, whatever it was, says you shouldn't do that. Things are so bad right now its hard to give a shit.
