The U.S. Secret Service is in the business of protecting the president, whether he’s inside the Oval Office or visiting a foreign war zone.
But protecting a former president in prison? The prospect is unprecedented. That would be the challenge if Donald J. Trump — whom the agency is required by law to protect around the clock — is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to serve time.
Even before the trial’s opening statements, the Secret Service was in some measure planning for the extraordinary possibility of a former president behind bars. Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to remind Mr. Trump that attacks on witnesses and jurors could land him in jail even before a verdict is rendered.
Why not just build a small presidential prison?
If only there was somewhere…
somewhere Govt run, maybe Under militAry NoTice And oN An island Maybe
sOmewhere set up for people who are apparently conspiring against the nation?
We already have prisons to hold spies.
Even then, I think that they’d have to protect him.
It’s solitary, then. 🤷♂️
Just in case any future presidents need it. /s
I’m imagining the Magneto plastic prison, but in the middle of the Capitol building rotunda.
