So if Trump goes to Jail after he loses the election

[ace3csusm]

Will he still get secret service protection while he is serving time, and will he still receive the president salary(isnt it for life).

[CentralMass]

1. It won't happen.

[Alacritous Crier]

2. Correct.

[struggle4progress]

23. +

[trueblue2007]

33. i hope he does. I hope his room mate will be Big Bubbles

[Buckeye_Democrat]

3. I doubt that he goes to jail.

Nixon was pardoned, Dumbya gets interviewed about his paintings after all of the needless deaths in Iraq, etc.

I hope that Trump has to wear a jumpsuit that matches his skin, but I have strong doubts.

[onetexan]

26. Biden has said he won't pardon the Idiot

[yellowdogintexas]

46. Biden also said that he will have his AG prosecute every

all the minions (paraphrase) Even if Fatso has been pardoned by Pensive there are still a lot of others out there.

And then there is NY

[malchickiwick]

4. If he loses, he will resign before Jan. 20 so Pence can pardon him.

However, that will not protect him from state charges

[ace3csusm]

6. Didnt think about that Pence would certainly do that

and also pardon the entire cabinet that did wrong doing, they will follow that with "now need to heal the nation speech "...

[safeinOhio]

24. I think Pence would

name a new VP and the resign. He knows Fords pardon of Nixon what’s the end of his career.

[marlakay]

27. i keep reading here senate or house

has to pass VP not enough time...

[safeinOhio]

29. Cool

Madam President Nancy.

[GulfCoast66]

31. Do a quick read of the constitution.

Congress has to approve a new VP.

[former9thward]

7. What state charges?

[malchickiwick]

11. I'm unsure of specifics, my point being a presidential pardon wouldn't protect him if there are any.

The NY AG has already opened an investigation into banking fraud.

The office of Attorney General Letitia James of New York issued a subpoena to Deutsche Bank, opening a new front in the scrutiny of its relationship with President Trump.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. That got your attention, didn't it? nt

[former9thward]

16. It always does because some day I am hoping someone gives a reasonable answer.

I have asked the question many, many times and so far no one gives an answer supported by any evidence or legal theory.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. Tax fraud? Trump Foundation fraud?

I don't know if they'll happen, but it's among a list of possibilities.

https://www.wired.com/story/trumps-world-faces-16-known-criminal-probes/

[former9thward]

35. Tax fraud?

The trump tax returns have been in the hands of the NY IRS and Federal IRS for decades. The have been audited. How come no charges? Trump Foundation was a civil matter, not criminal, and was settled.

[former9thward]

38. This is the only forum I post on.

What is the other political forum since you are making a personal smear charge and coming up with a CT?

[Nevilledog]

21. He's an unindicted codefendant to the charges that put Cohen in prison.

[former9thward]

37. The Muelller investigation denied that but even if you thinik it was true

Cohen was charged with federal crimes not state, which is what we are talking about here.

[Nevilledog]

39. You're right. But I believe, honestly, that there are tax and bank fraud at the state level.

I'm assuming Vance has reasons to get trump's tax documents. Also falsification of business documents as relayed (fingers crossed) by Weisselberg.

All of us will find out yay or nay in the future.

[walkingman]

5. The rich and famous play by different rules than regular working people. Welcome to the USA.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

41. So freakin true

We can only hope Karma gets him.

They have to keep propping up the President, we can't actually have criminal presidents...which is weird because Rule of law and nobody is supposed to be above it.

[jalan48]

8. Never happen and Trump knows it. Democrats don't want to set a precedent that would allow

Republicans to retaliate after the next Democratic President leaves office.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

10. Even Hillary Clinton doesn't touch it.

She recently stated how she wanted to help put Trump on the golf courses again, with no mention of actual punishment.

[jalan48]

14. It's unfortunate in the case of Trump as he deserves to go to jail.

[ace3csusm]

13. Except I never see Democratic pull this kind of recklessness if if they did hold them accountable...

This has to be done otherwise the next one could be worst...

[jalan48]

15. The Republicans will create something like they did with Bill Clinton. They started with a failed

land deal and wound up with sex in the White House thanks to a miked-up Linda Tripp.

[Takket]

34. Democrats wouldn't be prosecuting him

The NY AG would. Granted that person is a Democrat but what I mean is Biden and his AG would not be doing the prosecuting (mainly because drumpf will be pardoned of all Fed charges).

[GulfCoast66]

9. It's if. If he loses. We got to work like we are 10 points down.

[Chainfire]

20. You got that right!

[MyOwnPeace]

18. OK, consider this:

IF he loses, AND he goes to jail:
The Trump Presidential Libarary will be delivered on a cart - who knows, it could be Barr, Cohen, Manafort, Stone, etc., etc......

[Chainfire]

19. He is not going to jail

All Federal charges will go away between election day and inauguration day. Trump's last action could be to resign and depend on his number 2 flunky to issue a blanket pardon. While he may not, in fact, be able to pardon himself, there is no reason Pence, as the new President for a day, couldn't.

I just wan't the clown out of office. It would be unseemly for an ex-American President, even Trump, to be in jail; that is something that happens in banana republics.

[onetexan]

28. we ARE in a banana republic right now. I want him in jail one way or the other. And i'm not alone.

[ace3csusm]

40. Correct this now set a precedence to allow next President to do what ever he wants and do the same

until we hold them accountable this will continue... we can continue to be a republic if we can hold on to it...

[MyNameGoesHere]

22. This is America

We only talk a tough game. When it comes down to it we would never want to jail the king. We never really meant that ALL are created equal.

[safeinOhio]

25. I'd settle for the rest of his family.

Don’t think they SS protection.

[totodeinhere]

30. George W Bush did not spend one day in jail for his war crimes.

And Trump will never spend one day in jail for his crimes. President Biden may not pardon him but he knows that putting Trump in jail would completely tear this country apart and make his job of governing impossible. As much as we wish it will happen it will not happen. And Trump knows it.

[GulfCoast66]

32. He will never see jail. But will have something worse.

He will be disgraced and have no pull. The banks, or Russians, will refuse to extend anymore credit.

Unless he finds a way to grift his crazy supporters, he will die a broke and broken man.

Because the few supporters he has left will never provide enough money to support his lifestyle.

[jmowreader]

42. Something you are neglecting...

Trump owes money to the Russian mafia. As long as he’s in office he can do favors for them and pay them back that way. If he’s voted out, that ends.

I think he’ll be murdered within six months of leaving office. They want their fuckin’ money and Trump isn’t capable of producing it.

[GulfCoast66]

43. That would be something. The Secret Service does not play around

[jmowreader]

44. The Secret Service has never had to guard someone like this disaster before, either

"Sarge, we don't know what happened. I mean, we looked away for just a second and he'd fallen on a knife nineteen times and fell down the stairs 27 times."

[GulfCoast66]

45. Yeah, that's not happening with the Secret Service.

I knew someone retired from them. They take their job very seriously.

Not saying the Russians could not get him. But can’t see them trying against the Secret Service.

At that point it will be meaningless. He has no money.
