Way out West.
Obviously his legal team is going to appeal, but assuming it won't be overturned, (the poll has that option for you fluffers), will he go to the clink or not?
 
Yes.

And to add, it's mind-blowing anyone still thinks an election is going to take place in Nov.
 
He'll get some sort of slap on the wrist, a fine, maybe some limited restrictions on movement, but he won't see jail.

That would be a good trick considering his SS detail...unless there is a change to that policy of SS for life.

I've heard that the statute of limitations on the crimes had run out and "the prosecutor/court" used some legal bullshit to get around that.
If that's truly the case I'm betting that will be the #1 reason to appeal.

Trump Secret Service protection could be removed under Bennie Thompson proposed legislation

Rep. Bennie Thompson introduced legislation that would remove Secret Service protection from anyone convicted of a felony and sentence to prison.

WASHINGTON – Democratic Congressman Bennie Thompson from Mississippi, the Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, introduced legislation that would remove Secret Service protection from anyone convicted of a felony and sentence to prison.

How the jury found Trump guilty: Details on all 22 court days of historic Trump trial

According to a news release, the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act or the Disgraced Former Protectees Act (H.R. 8081) would reform the U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission by automatically terminating Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison following conviction for a federal or state felony—clarifying that prison authorities would be responsible for the protection of all inmates regardless of previous Secret Service protection.

“Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. 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," the news release said.

Secret Service history​

According to a fact sheet provided by the Committee on Homeland Security, the United States government has long recognized the need to protect presidents, former presidents, other high-level officials, and select family members of those officials from harm. Since 1901, that protective mission has been fulfilled by the U.S. Secret Service.

Periodically, Congress has reformed the Secret Service’s protective mission, often in response to exigent circumstances. For example, protection was expanded to major party presidential nominees following the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

The press release says former President Donald Trump’s 91 felony charges in federal and state courts across the country have created a new exigency that Congress must address to ensure Secret Service protection does not interfere with the criminal judicial process and the administration of justice. The Disgraced Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a felony.

Under current law, Secret Service protection is authorized for some current and former high-level officials and their immediate families. Current law does not contemplate how such protection would occur—or whether it should occur—if a protectee is sentenced to prison following conviction for a felony. As a result, current law may serve as an impediment to the equal administration of justice and present logistical difficulties for both the Secret Service and prison authorities at the Federal and State levels.

What would this bill do?​

This bill would remove the potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons and allow judges to weigh the sentencing of individuals without having to factor in the logistical concerns of convicts with Secret Service protection.

Will this bill apply to Trump Secret Service protection?​

This measure would apply to former President Trump and any Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced under felony charges.

It's just posturing/saber-rattling and redmeat for the TDSers. I find it amusing that anyone would even believe this could happen, but clown world exists on all sides.

What happens when he is elected president in November while in jail? Can he pardon himself and get out of jail?

Not on state charges. Frankly I'm surprised that they got guilty on all 34 charges. It's easy to say the fix was in, and obviously this IS politically motivated, but you'd think they'd at least throw a bone on at least one charge.
 
There is already talks of ending his SS detail if he sees jail time.

I can’t recall a time when anyone with notoriety and that much money actually saw jail time in the US. Maybe Martha Stewart? She ended up with a life long friend with Snoop after that time. :laughing:

So if he is elected would he be president from a jail cell? Assuming he gets actual jail time.
