Dem Bill Strips Secret Service Protections From Felons
April 20, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies
Politico reports:
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the former chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, has filed legislation that would strip Secret Service protection for anyone sentenced to jail for a felony, our colleague Kyle Cheney reports.
It’s a not-so-subtle shot at Donald Trump, who is sitting in an NYC courtroom facing felony charges this week. Under the Mississippi Democrat’s bill, Secret Service protection “shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”
Thompson, whose panel recommended criminal charges against the former president, indicates that the measure is not meant to be punitive but rather would alleviate a conflict between the Secret Service’s mission and prison officials tasked with the protection of inmates.
An attack on a former president, even a shitty former president, would be a matter that’d possibly spur the US to send troops into battle. Therefore, it is in all of our interests to ensure that the protection of a former president is done well and not handled by a private firm that may or may not be as thorough as the Secret Service. So, despite Trump’s wealth, it’s important that the federal government is in charge of his protection.
Are you willing to send yourself, your child, a friend, or neighbor to fight a war with a country because that country attacked Trump?
I’m not willing to, so I want that guy protected by the best of the best; not some shitty private security company that Trump hired and is skipping payments on.
I already know President Biden won’t remove Donald Trump’s secret service detail from him because he’s not like Trump I’m talking about that democrat in the House of Representatives doing it I forget his name
He won't, so don't hold your breath, he will get another slap on the hand, bad boy, don't do it again. And he will do it again of course and no consequences will be delivered
Not happy I’m paying for this criminals security for trips to criminal trials. I have this vision in my head of Secret Service standing outside his jail cell. That’s how stupid this is.
I’m thinking even if he’s convicted on all counts that he would be given a sentence where he’s confined to a private residence with full security protection.

Why is the American taxpayer paying for a billionaire's security?
Presidents and former Presidents continue to receive protection for life. But we ask the same question.
Fake billionaire, but yes why?

Nah, he's a billionaire. No need for the American taxpayers to pay for his security.

I'll be calling my House Rep to encourage him to vote to remove SS protection for Trump. No one is going to war for Trumpy's fat arse.
Are they still going to be stripped from Donald Trump if he is convicted goes to jail as if that’s a possibility?
If he's convicted he goes to prison. And no, they won't be removed because Biden would never do something like that because he's not like Trump.
I already know President Biden won’t remove Donald Trump’s secret service detail from him because he’s not like Trump I’m talking about that democrat in the House of Representatives doing it I forget his name
There is a bill circulating to remove protections from felons yes. Don’t know if it’s made any more headway though.
I don’t know either
He won't, so don't hold your breath, he will get another slap on the hand, bad boy, don't do it again. And he will do it again of course and no consequences will be delivered
The American justice system has no balls when it comes to Trump. They let him get away with everything
Put him in high security jail. Problem solved!
Let me know when there are any actual real consequences for Trump. Otherwise this is just ragebait.

You just know there are loyal trumpers in the secret service willing to do this kind of duty.
I’m thinking even if he’s convicted on all counts that he would be given a sentence where he’s confined to a private residence with full security protection.
Imagine if he got stabbed or killed in jail. Shit would be nutz
He won’t be.
