Could Trump Go to Prison? If He Does, the Secret Service Goes, Too
nytimes.com
The U.S. Secret Service is in the business of protecting the president, whether he’s inside the Oval Office or visiting a foreign war zone.
But protecting a former president in prison? The prospect is unprecedented. That would be the challenge if Donald J. Trump — whom the agency is required by law to protect around the clock — is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to serve time.
Even before the trial’s opening statements, the Secret Service was in some measure planning for the extraordinary possibility of a former president behind bars. Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to remind Mr. Trump that attacks on witnesses and jurors could land him in jail even before a verdict is rendered.

The problem is it makes them an easy target, especially in the future when a conservative court convicts a liberal president over jaywalking or some stupid shit. Slippery slope, I guess is what I'm saying
I mean, it's pretty easy to limit it to felonies.
They know too much to be left without protection.
It's about our safety at that point.
Maybe they let things go down as long as national security isn't at risk?
Edit: getting tired of edits and misspellings introduced to my posts after ive posted them.
Most would but Trump probably cant remember any secrets anyway.
