Secret Service prepares for if Trump is jailed for contempt in hush money case

The U.S. Secret Service held meetings and started planning for what to do if former President Donald Trump were to be held in contempt in his criminal hush money trial and Judge Juan Merchan opted to send him to short-term confinement, officials familiar with the situation told ABC News.

Merchan on Tuesday reserved decision on the matter after a contentious hearing. Prosecutors said at this point they are seeking a fine.

“We are not yet seeking an incarceratory penalty," assistant district attorney Chris Conroy said, "But the defendant seems to be angling for that."

Officials do not necessarily believe Merchan would put Trump in a holding cell in the courthouse but they are planning for contingencies, the officials said.

4. He looks like crap.

More caked on orange bronzer.
And hair white and more unkempt than usual.

[returnee]

5. He looks like a clown. (no text)

[Irish_Dem]

7. He is looking more and more bizarre.

His cult members don't seem to notice or care how strange Trump looks.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

42. He's killed more than all the real and fictional clowns combined from 'The Joker' to Gacy.

400,000 Covid 'excess deaths' alone.

[paleotn]

13. Fitting. He is crap.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. good

[DaBronx]

28. His usual stylist maybe can't travel

He does look awful
I have no sympathy for him,
I don’t care, do you?
lol

[Irish_Dem]

30. He does look like he is doing his own hair and make up.

[DaBronx]

31. Yikes!

[Irish_Dem]

33. That should be another crime right there.

[DaBronx]

34. Yes!

Handling hazardous waste without a license!!!

[Irish_Dem]

[electric_blue68]

44. Whether it's the lighting in the courtroom, or what ever else; I think that's the orangest I've ever seen him! 😀 Weird!

[Irish_Dem]

46. The paler he gets, the more he cakes on the orange to disguise that fact.

He must not be feeling well.

[JohnQFunk]

6. ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

[DENVERPOPS]

36. Screw that

Life in Supermax in Colorado with no contact with outside world.................For all the things he is known to have done, and the multitude of things that he has done that have not been found yet........Many that are far worse than anything found so far.
Especially National Security and Intelligence documents he and Jared sold to other superpowers...........

Jared and all of Trump's Spawn should also get cells there.

A separate cell for them also, with no communication with the outside world, between each other, others institutionalized in that building, or any other human being. Absolutely no visitors, period. Absolutely no way of communicating with the outside world, computer, internet, radio, print media, radio, etc etc Just like Daddy.....

Colorado Supermax is the absolute worst form of solitary confinement for criminals who deserve having to be permanently and completely separated from all of society.

(After six months, McVeigh begged to be executed, and they obliged him by giving him his request)

[electric_blue68]

45. 🤔 you might be right. National Security is one uber major issue. I'm also thinking of his initial Covid response...

resulting in So Many deaths!

[DENVERPOPS]

56. AND

Jared and Trump Spawn Wife taking control of the entire Federal stockpile of PPE and confiscating all arriving shipments to disperse at a greatly higher price. With no accounting for the money they collected.................

[electric_blue68]

58. Ugh, yes. So Many Terrible things to Keep Track of!

[Wicked Blue]

8. I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth, or eleven years in Twelveworth.

Thank you very much....

23. You are very welcome!

14. Maybe a Subtle Reminder to Trump's Attorney?

F%ck with the bull and you get a horn...

[Model35mech]

15. Maybe get him a bed in Epsteins former cell

Is the Metropolitan Correctional Center available?

[Evolve Dammit]

18. There he can contemplate his existence and options...

[honest.abe]

20. Please lock him up!

He certainly deserves it.

[catbyte]

21. My, he's looking extra orange and those white goggle marks highlighting his eye bags are a nice touch.

[soldierant]

24. And this is EXACTLY why, as soon as we have a Democratic majority in both houses,

the FIRST thing we have to do is to pass Bennie Thonpson's motion to remove Secret Service protection from felons. I know, he's not been convicted of any felony yet, but eventually at some level he will be, and we need that law in place before that happens.

29. "We are not yet seeking an incarceratory penalty."

Well get on the stick, then. Seek ye right quickly.

Incarceratize this futhermucker now!

[ShazzieB]

32. I'm not sure what this means, hut...

...the ABC link isn't working right now. When I click, I get a screen that says "OOPS! PAGE UNAVAILABLE. This page either does not exist or is currently unavailable."

If ABC took the story down, I wonder if that means they found out it wasn't true or something?

[demmiblue]

37. Fixed the link... thanks for pointing it out! n/t

[3catwoman3]

38. Oh please, oh please, oh please!

A consummation devoutly to be wish'd.

[Martin68]

39. Please, please, please!

[patphil]

40. I still think the best way to handle that is to build Trump a house on Camp David.

How about a 4 bedroom ranch surrounded by chain link fencing and barbed wire, so he knows he's incarcerated, with a separate barracks for his Secret Service detail.
Let him out to play golf on the base, but don't allow any posting on social media without the content being pre-approved by base personnel.

[Josiesdad]

41. I agree that he 'seems to be angling... for incarceration'. The judge should not play into that path...

It is my understanding that NY law sets limits on any defendant's exposure to penalties for contempt of court. In light of the present realities the maximum penalties envisioned by the statutes are almost painfully small.

The judge should think outside the box and impose a contempt of court penalty uniquely crafted to get Trump's attention and modify his behavior for the better.

I would suggest that this judge draw his inspiration from some of his brethren that preside on the juvenile bench... They are actually used to seeing their perps act out in defiance of the law and have developed some very effective ways to get their attention.

I would suggest that *when* the judge eventually and inevitably finds DJT in contempt that he impose a sentence that was not anticipated by the statute... Perhaps he could hand Trump a blank, legal/wide ruled legal pad and instruct him to, in his own hand, write out the sentence 'I will not threaten or attempt to intimidate any jurors or witnesses involved in this trial' 3000 times. It must be in his own hand and may not be delegated. He must turn it in within the next 48 hours. Failure to do so will result in the entire court sitting in silence in the court room watching as he completes his punishment. The news nets will be given a live camera feed from a single camera (no audio feed) that is trained on the pad recording every pen stroke. (no sharpies allowed!)

[Conjuay]

47. He likes sharpies

Because he can huff the fumes.

[ecstatic]

49. Lol. Treat him like the child that he is. Nt

[ecstatic]

48. Perfect morning headline

🌞 Good morning everyone! 🤗

[gopiscrap]

52. we can only hope

stick him in general population

[spooky3]

53. I read the headline as "Planning Underwear..."

Do they provide Depends in prison?

[zanana1]

54. Trump manages to slither away from everything.

I really doubt that he'll be jailed for anything.

[GreenWave]

55. Lock him up after verdict! He will stop trial if done before verdict.

[BadGimp]

57. I imagine a run on champagne would accompany this event.
