There is not going to be any cuffs or an arrest or any prison time. He will avail himself of being booked and processed. He will get a sweet deal on bail. They might take his passports. There will be confinement at his resorts, the SS will continue to keep an eye on him.

He will whine and be granted exceptions for those rallies, or he will just defy the court's orders outright.

All of he will monetized and use to fleece the cultists for more cash.

after they found bodies in his backyard. Having millions of dollars available to him and a crew of lawyers and accountants have allowed him to get his sick jollies in ways other than killing people.

He thought nothing about kidnapping children and pirating them away in the middle of the night to God knows where and for what purpose.

He has put our military and national intelligence personnel in grave danger.

You are totally right, he didn't just start carrying on in this fashion.

He was doing it long before. A rich daddy got him off the hook every time.

...with a very large collection of extremely classified documents. Some of the documents he had, if you were the commander of the 25th Infantry Division and you needed to see one, you would have to fly from Honolulu to Washington and be taken to the Pentagon. And here he is keeping them in the broom closet.

He will only stir-up violence...He will need some form of being gagged as well. Treason will be the crime focus.

Since that's all solitary confinement, they're able to house high-profile prisoners like corrupt ex-presidents.

It's also set back far enough from the road that his supporters won't be able to get close to it before they're caught and locked up.

Kind of a Hannibal Lecter setup. I don't expect family is apt to visit. I think Melania will file for divorce any day now. Wonder why she hasn't been called as a witness anywhere?

The Hannibal jail scenes were filmed in a small town called Bridgeville Pennsylvania about 10 miles from Pittsburgh Pa. It was a a closed psychiatric hospital .

Guantanamo was set up to hold non-citizens out of the country, and thus ineligible for constitutional legal protections. And I assume you don't believe the Biden Administration would apply that to Trump.

Wed Sep 7, 2022, 03:27 PM

Fort Holabird was a military base in Baltimore which held several individuals associated with Watergate.

My guess is that they would take some sort of military base and retrofit a barrack for housing him.

That's if he's convicted.

Not sure if he'd be denied pre-trial release or not. He should, given the gravity of the offenses. But given the level of visibility, my guess is a court would assume he couldn't just skip bail without people recognizing his ugly face somewhere.

I was hopeful for a minute there and now I’m back to he’s going to get away with everything. Even if he somehow gets nailed on something, anything, they won’t put a former President in prison.

If arrested and convicted, he would continue to live in his own house until Jesus calls him home. He is well above the class of people who are punished for crimes.
