Question about what happens if Trump is convicted.

[WinterBorn]

I'm not trying to rehash all the stuff about whether this is a witchhunt etc etc.

But if Trump is convicted, and sentenced to any time in jail, how will that work? He will still have a Secret Service detail. Do they stay with him 24/7? Or will he be alone in solitary confinement without them for any part of the day?

And will his Secret Service detail still be armed if he is in GenPop?

Trump would most likely be confined to his Mar a Lago home, where his supporters would throng and cheer his appearances.

Putting him behind bars would have the same effect as it did Nelson Mandela.

He pays a fine and will not have learned a single lesson about engaging in shady activity. Of course that could all change when he inevitably tries to tamper with witnesses.

We need to see what the charges are in the first place. About 30, is being said.

If going to prison, even if for a short time, this is an article seeing the possibilities:

Donald Trump could be the first president to face jail or prison time, creating a dilemma for the officials charged with protecting him.

Are you suggesting clintoncide?

That is an odd comparison. Or is it the only wrongfully accused person you could think of?

Well you're probably right . Trump is not a Marxist.

BIGLY!

If Trump is convicted, future historians will note the event as that point where we turned from a republic to an authoritarian oligarchy.

I think it would be much more likely an inmate would try to kill him to be famous.

Trump would never under any circumstances be put in with the general population. There's also that requirement of having armed Secret Service personnel for the rest of his life.

They might not put Trump in any low security area. Remains to be seen.
Infamous, would actually be the word.

Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones

No, Bill Clinton did not pay Paula Jones ‘hush money.’ It was a public settlement.

Some have drawn comparisons between former president Donald Trump’s alleged hush money payments and a settlement Bill Clinton paid in 1998.

Faulty comparisons made between Trump, Clinton payments

The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly claiming it is a double standard that former President Donald Trump may be indicted over alleged hush money payments to women

The charges seem to be minor misdemeanors so at worst he will get probation. If he gets a change of venue, he will be exonerated.

More of a mark than Scott Peterson.

America will no longer be America if Trump is convicted.

Only to the nuts among us. You people really have to dig to create a monster out of this man. Of course you'll do the same with any Republican who challenges your hold on power
