So what's the Secret Service procedure on having someone they're protecting be booked in a State Court system?
I doubt it ever happened before, so whatever the policy will be, it's going to be brand new
Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.
I don't think he will be "in prison" in any sense during the booking, so it doesn't sound too important about how close they are.
It's called 'protective custody.' Child molesters, known stool pigeons, and ex-cops are kept in a separate area. Cells are locked 23 hours a day with one hour of exercise alone in a segregated yard.
There's no statute and the secret service doesn't comment on protection procedures. It'd be kind of silly if you could plan an assassination by just reading a law.
Simple fix - just house him with any SS agents that end up getting charged with corruption in the fallout.
Does that give them authority over the jails on procedures?
I imagine it's a case of the Secret Service coordinating with the State on how to handle Trump. No matter what he did, he's a former president, and is entitled to the protection of the Secret Service.
Bet he'll get Epstein'd, though.
There's just no way in hell.
It would sure be spicey though.
As long as he hates it, I'll love it.
Honestly, him never being president again and having to stay alone for a few years in a cheap motel with free HBO with the Secret Service guarding outside would be enough for me.
One of those really sleazy rooms with the heart shaped jacuzzi that has the DNA of thousands of people clogging the pump. And a bed that vibrates if you put a quarter in it. And wood panel walls.
Have you seen the way Mar-a-lago is decorated? He'd probably love all of that.
Or he'll be in ADX Florence with other traitors.
ADX Florence is designed to keep the prisoners completely isolated, there aren't any hallway encounters for a walk-by shiv.
It's pretty much the only place he could be incarcerated without going full Pablo.
I was about to say - being a supermax, there is no interaction with other prisoners, so that makes the Secret Service's job easier.
Most likely though, I'm thinking the Dept. of Corrections may end up building a dedicated facility just for Trump. A prison with one prisoner sort of like Spandau Prison in Germany.
Good enough for ordinary citizens == good enough for the president. Prison system too dangerous? He had the chance to fix it while he was in charge.
They enter a cognitively dissonant state until their heads explode.
Oh man I feel bad for the sucker whose job it is to watch over trump in prison.
Not law enforcement. I'd assume that they'd come to some arraignment with the Correction Officers before hand.
Not sure if that was intentional but it works well either way haha
