Key Democrats revealed new legislation Friday that would strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service agents if he is convicted and sentenced to prison.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said it’s about making sure Mr. Trump doesn’t get special treatment for whatever crime he might be sentenced. He is worried that having to accommodate a Secret Service protective detail could lead to accommodations for a former president.
“It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality,” the Mississippi lawmaker said. “Therefore, 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.”
He named his bill the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act — or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act.
Under the law, former presidents such as Mr. Trump are given Secret Service protection.
For Mr. Trump, who is both a political candidate and a prosecuted citizen, that’s creating new challenges for the agency...
Mr. Trump also faces criminal cases in a state courtroom in Georgia and federal courtrooms in Florida and the District of Columbia.
Democrats who back the new bill said they believe the legislation is legal and constitutional. They dismissed ex post facto concerns, saying that legal doctrine barring changing the rules after the fact applies only in cases where the law is meant to be punitive.

..... And ..... Yup .... Sadly with all of this crap happening .... We are now in the midst of what is, more than likely, out last Election as what used to be a Constitutional Republic ..... In the mean time ..... the dysfunctional Republicans are being played like a proverbial fiddle by the opposition ..... And sadly they keep reacting, as predicted by the left, like the same useless, feckless dysfunctional dopes that the left consistently rely upon to achieve their means. Unfortunately our party, outside of Divine Intervention, IS our last defense to protect and uphold our Constitution and Republic.
...... Please pray for our nation and God Save America!!!

That person would be cold very soon after, not knowing the devotion President Trump's followers have throughout all strata of our society outside of rabid Leftist TDS cases.
And no, my Batman homie, the SS would NOT assassinate him because way too many stories are told how despicable, unpatriotic and disrespectful the Democrat presidents are compared to the Republicans. The unqualified Kenyan constantly refused to put his hand over his heart for our anthem, wouldn't return Marine salutes nor even take the oath over the Bible (he chose the Koran).
If Trump is imprisoned that will truly alarm and enrage a people already highly agitated by the obvious lawfare being waged on a man who's proven he's on their side while willing to sacrifice the riches life has blessed him with.
At this rate I just don’t know friend.
It’s so surreal.
👏Bravo on a Magnificent post, frnewsjunkie!!!
Absolutely LOVE it❤🥰
Not to worry he’ll be a protected hero...Guaranteed.
So kill them.
Before they kill us.
How are you going to vote for a dead man? I expect when they get one conviction on a nothing charge, Trump will be arrested in the courtroom and hustled off to prison where he will be “depressed” and kill himself while all the equipment, cameras, doors, etc fail for a few moments and the guards are all called elsewhere. Then the Democrats get their his first 95% election in a pattern that will be followed from then on. It will be followed by mass arrests of Christian and Conservative “terrorists” for whom the death penalty will be the appropriate punishment. The military having been completely neutered by Obama and his puppet, will not intervene or will aid int he roundups.
I don’t know why God allowed me to escape certain death by cancer and the radiation damage the treatment rained down. The very government we rail against totally honored their part of the contract curing and rebuilding me so I’ll not say it’s a totally compromised entity totally enthralled by Democrat Party domination.
But that was before the Administration was stolen. Now when I show up for appointments I have to suss out if the medics are patriotic or tools, competently qualified or assigned thralls in service to “equity”.
Obiden is going to give us something like that.
Agree. This is highly unlikely to ever even get to a floor vote. Just posturing for the TDS-infected minions.
Meanwhile… to quote Neo: guns… lots of guns…
This doesn’t come from leadership, it’s clickbait.
Obviously someone wants a civil war to halt this train wreck of an election for Biden.
We are getting ever closer to violent revolution breaking out.
Bennie Thompson hasn’t the intellect to light the fuse— this is a provocation. Trigger someone to justify a Police State response, which of course the dems think they can manage— defunding Police and all that. It is of course idiotic as this ebonic speaking Mississippi “attorney” who Chaired(!) the J6 committee with looney Liz Cheney. Trying to manufacture an insurrection since there was none prior for them to prove happened (cause it didn’t. Pelosi et cie of fedgov shave heads and khaki pants planned the entire thing— to follow the Summer of Love open murdering riots).
Dems- mobocracy concealing kleptocracy.
Trump is not going to jail. 🙄

I did not know that.. I would have remembered if I had ever heard it. He is anti America. Anti everything that is right
There's lots of news footage showing Mr. Ineligible disrespecting and dis-honoring American traditions. He seemed to make a point of it.
Not nuts......PURE EVIL!
I knew he said we are not a Christian nation.. Abroad.
I know Muslims have their “profit” and much of the Koran would sound like our Bible, except it is written to make them in the right and Jesus, no more than a lesser profit. It distorts our Bible in an evil way.
The first time I went to vote when he was on the ballot, the blacks were lined up.. Long and they thought they would now be privileged. As the man showing Thomas Sowell video said, Obama’s parents didn’t come from Alabama.. He is not one of them.
First time I saw him, he gave me the creeps.. Something not authentic about him. I still see it that way.
My original search lately, has been ‘who is he?’
He has 5 mansions scattered around. He has not left Washington. He has been quiet.. Openly quiet. What is he up to.
I can’t put the words down..
Questions and suspecions.
