    He’s scum but let’s not make him a martyr for his cult. It’s better to convict him and imprison him. He’s so old and he’s facing so many indictments, he’ll likely die in prison. But let’s also change the legislation for Secret Service protection so that our good Secret Service do not have to be in jail too. Taxpayer money shouldn’t be spent protecting a former prez that couldn’t fulfill their oath of office to uphold the law.

      This type of statement always makes it sound like they would be sitting in the cell with him.

      Which is, of course, ridiculous.

      If Trump actually faces prison time, it’ll most likely be in a separate facility where he can be kept separate from other inmates. And the secret service detail would become essentially jail guards. Probably a much smaller group as well, as thwy wouldn’t need to protect him in such a variety of locations and situations.

        Secret Service agents should not be jail guards in a jail. Jail sucks on either side of the bars. Secret Service agents should be protecting former Presidents that kept their oath of office, not traitors.
