Agree. That's all that has to be said.
We can get off the children's train that has nursery rhyme songs about a fair and equal and honest system of justice. We don't. And that good little boys and girls like us conservatives never, ever do naughty things like the Leftists do every day.
They are hiring the same private security firm that protected Epstein in his cell.
Bill will get passed that has been discussed: No more Secret Service protection for a former President convicted.

Where did you see they were already hiring private security?
That line is satire. The rest is not.
But the Dems are working to remove protection from Trump if he is railroaded into prison. The prison would have to add security. One idea is a closed old prison re-opened just for the one prisoner.

One article said:
If Donald Trump is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to prison time, the U.S. Secret Service faces an unprecedented challenge — protecting a former president behind bars.
By law, the agency must guard Trump around the clock. Even before opening statements, the Secret Service began preparing for the extraordinary possibility of a former president incarcerated.
Last week, federal, state and city agencies met briefly about handling Trump in a courthouse holding cell if temporarily jailed for contempt, two people familiar with the matter said, The New York Times reported.
But incarcerating a convicted former president long-term has yet to be directly addressed, a dozen current and former officials told The Associated Press. They note appeals could delay sentencing for months, and prison time is unlikely.
Keeping Trump separate from other inmates and screening his food and items would be required. A rotating Secret Service detail would work 24/7, officials said. While firearms are banned in prisons, the agents would be armed.
Former corrections officials identified closed New York prisons or jails that could house Trump and his protective detail, according to The New York Times.
The former chair of the now-disbanded Jan. 6 committee introduced a bill Friday that would strip Secret Service protection of any former executive convicted of a felony.

From article on stripping protection from Trump——
The from Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) would nix the lifelong protection given to former presidents if they are convicted and sentenced for a felony that carries a year or more in prison time.
It is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment — and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.”
Thanks for the very informative post. I appreciate it.
Good a description as any.
Coming soon to a courthouse near you.....
