It’s in the constitution!

(Amendment XXII omitted)
This bodes somewhat well:
Same ol’ same ol’ from Donnie (from that link, and I read it elsewhere today, too):
Ever defiant, Trump predicted the criminal referral would ultimately help him.
“These folks don’t get it that when they come after me, people who love freedom rally around me. It strengthens me. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger," Trump said in a statement posted on his social network, condemning the criminal referral as “a partisan attempt to sideline me and the Republican Party.”
“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger," Trump said between unhealthy bites of a Big Mac, the added ketchup dripping through his tiny hands.
If those are the choices…
…I know my pick immediately!
I’ll even go to the drive thru for him. Extra large everything and extra salt too.
Just trying to be helpful.
You’re right, as always! Now just think about how much stronger you’ll be after twenty years in Leavenworth!
Not Leavenworth… Gitmo.
On the other hand, Leavenworth is only about 30 miles away… I could get on my motorcycle and ride past the federal pen every weekend and wave at him.
Interesting question - If, in fact, Individual 1 does get indicted, convicted and appeals rejected, where would they send him? It would have to be Maximum Security, but where?
Colorado?
Why, exactly? To prevent a Delta Force-type “rescue” attempt?
More to prevent some other scumbag from trying to score fame by slipping a shiv into The Donald.
Plus the optics of it all - you don’t convict somebody of attempted overthrow of the government and then send them to Danbury Minimum Security prison.
It will be house arrest @ Mar-A-Lago, if anywhere. No delta force is going to come rescue the guy, lol, the idea is silly.
Gitmo is a military prison, to which civil defence lawyers do not have access, only military ones. It’s also not part of US territory.
I would be surprised if a US citizen, convicted of crimes under the federal civil laws, could be exiled from the US to a military prison and deprived of access to private defence counsel of their choice.
As Commander In Chief at the time of the crimes, could he be considered ‘military’?
Sure… Go ahead and shoot down my dreams.
No.
He is the civilian authority in charge of the military. And that’s not something we wish to change.
