There is no precedent for putting a Former President in jail. Given the security challenges the Secret Service would have a big say in this.
I remember back to the TV show 24 when fictional President Charles Logan did all sorts of crimes and was convicted. He was sentenced to Home Detention on his ranch and guarded by the SS.
This is what would happen to Trump, Home detention, probably at a location of his and the SS choice. It’s the only possible solution. Otherwise you could expect a huge court battle on this, probably only on the circumstances of detention.
There is no way he would be in Rikers or Federal Detention in Manhattan. Then here we are in the middle of a Presidential Election. This is not the same as a minor candidate like Lyndon LaRouche running from in Jail, this is the Republican Candidate for President and a Former President.
As much as the Left would’ve to see this, it just is not in the cards. The Judge is bluffing and blowing smoke on putting Trump in Jail. If he did there would be a backlash, how big I don’t know. If this were say a country in Europe people would be in the streets protesting and going on a General Strike, we just don’t have that type of reaction here on many things.
Agreed. However, the "convicted" label would be enough to give Trump a martyr status even without an orange jumpsuit and bars.
God forbid this should happen
but if so we are no diff than 3rd world politics and the final curtain of our republic torn away.
it physically pains me to see people rejoice in Pres Trumps trials, etc...their delight in someone being persecuted, their own verbal melasciviousness (sp?) on display
