ya - that is concrete logic, alright!

For hill people, perhaps.

The judge is totally in reality. Trump is not and you go along with it.

Eight years after the alleged crime itself, it is reasonable to ask if this is more about the presidential election, than New York law. This case should give us an insight, into the slimy world of the partisan prosecutorial system.

 

[WorldWatcher]

As a reality check, it is legal for a candidate to pay for a nondisclosure agreement. Hush money is unseemly, but it is legal.

Yes. However that isn't what happened.

In this case AMI - in coordination with the candidate - paid for the rights to a story in a "catch and kill" scheme and in a second instance - at the direction of the candidate - the candidates personal attorney used personal funds to enter into the NDA with the promise of being paid back after the election. Then candidate laundered the repayment money through a corporate entity as "attorney fees" instead of reimbursement to a porn star.

If the candidate had entered into both agreements as an NDA, drawn the money from a personal account and paid with a certified check, then reported the in-kind campaign contribution as part of FEC reporting requirements he wouldn't be in the legal trouble he is now. (Note: for example the Daniels payment was, IIRC, 11 days before the election. The FEC filing would not have appeared on public records until AFTER the election.)

Liberals are wishing for snd planning on the SS planning on taking care of Trump in jail

The secret service makes plans for all contingencies.

It is not a big deal.

Hmm, a former president being imprisoned for being a serial felon is kind of a big deal.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Eight years after the alleged crime itself, it is reasonable to ask if this is more about the presidential election, than New York law.

But also inconsequential. The only question that matters, in the end, is whether or not Trump broke the law.

What history? You got any facts? Or just made up shit?

I have them.

The SS agents are experts at planning for housing and travel of protectee's, whether it's US Executive Authority or visiting Heads of State.

NOT planning for contingencies where the protectee, who is currently under criminal trial, being incarcerated for a short duration (measured in days for contempt of court) or long term (conviction and sentenced to prison) would be dereliction of duty and totally irresponsible. I'm assuming the SS loathes being caught flat footed.

If I were them I'd already have plans in place with local law enforcement if the protectee was ordered into confinement during trial. Long term confinement would probably be a much more high level of planning at this point as it would depend on the type, duration, and level of confinement.

[DISCLAIMER: Personally I don't think FPOTUS#45 will be sentenced to prison even if convicted in this case. Even if he is I bet there will be attempts to have time served in home confinement.]

Hey, it seems you forgot but the lawyer who did that was put into prison.

 

[White 6]

The solution is simple, become convicted of a felony, all secret service protection ends. I mean now hard is this?

No. It does not end. That is something being discussed now, but I doubt it will pass, nor should it.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Have any of you ever met someone who was put in jail for a 14 year old misdemeanor?....

What they REALLY want to do it put Trump to death. Happens for less in China all the time
Can you imagine the crying and whining if they were able to accomplish that?

Point by you is Trump consulted with a lawyer and the lawyer led Trump to his action.

Oh my, someone is feeling his melodrama tonight

 

[Lord-Humungus]

put him on house arrest not at mar a lago & because no patrons will be allowed; those memberships will get cancelled & re imbursed dues will probably have it foreclosed or a forced sale.

Put him in Mar a Lago. Sitting in his residence watching others play golf while he is stuck inside. If he is found guilty that would be torture for him. I do think he is the kind of guy that would ignore the conditions of his house arrest and then face even worse punishments. Again only if he is found guilty

Then it's too bad Trump is a moron. If he were a smarter man, he might have saved himself from committing felonies.

 

[Robert W]

The Jury has to approach this as if Trump is innocent. Frankly I see no path for the prosecution to win it's case.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Put him in Mar a Lago

No. Fking. Way.

He definitely does NOT get to go live in a posh resort. If we have to build a special little cell for him on the back 40 at the federal prison, then that's what we will do.

As former President Donald Trump faces a historic criminal trial in Manhattan, the U.S. Secret Service is grappling with the unprecedented scenario of potentially having to protect him in prison.

The trial, which began last week, involves Trump being charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal. It marks the first time a former U.S. president has faced criminal prosecution.

The New York Times reported that, behind the scenes, officials from the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies had held preliminary discussions about the logistics of protecting Trump if he were to be incarcerated. These talks were sparked by prosecutors' request to consider the possibility of jailing Trump for contempt during the trial, even before a verdict is reached.

The Times noted that the Secret Service faces a "logistical nightmare of safely incarcerating" Trump.

"Obviously, it’s uncharted territory," said Martin F. Horn, a former high-ranking official in New York’s state prison system. "Certainly no state prison system has had to deal with this before, and no federal prison has had to either."

It sounds like a daunting task - but one I hope they have to deal with - in a real prison! What do you think?

Could Trump Go to Prison? If He Does, the Secret Service Goes, Too

Officials have had preliminary discussions about how to protect the former president in the unlikely event that he is jailed for contempt during the trial.
