Maybe convicted ex presidents shouldn't get secret service protection
I get what you're saying, but I think without that protection it's pretty likely he'd be killed in prison.
I'm not seeing the downside.
True, but he wasn't sentenced to death. We owe all prisoners the same protections.
They have protective custody for certain inmates that require protection, for example, Epstein.
I dunno. Epstein was pretty high profile (and it might not have worked out great for him, either), but a former president is really high profile. I have no idea how they would handle it, but if we're lucky enough to see it, it'll be quite interesting for sure
It's not like they're going to put him with the general population. And USSS agents don't sign up to be in prison.
IIRC, probably the Secret Service will enter a memorandum of understanding with the New York Department of Corrections, and negotiate who and what goes where. Probably means Trump will get a wing of Rikers to himself.
Don't worry, I have full confidence in the Secret Service's ability to keep Trump perfectly safe while he's making license plates!

or you know, not. doesn't really matter.
Ah that's probably true. He's rich and white enough to end up in a resort prison, I'm sure.
Not in solitary confinement (unless he's on suicide watch ofc)
So you support leaking the country's biggest secrets just because he did bad thing?
He leaked the country's biggest secrets when he gave classified documents to foreign adversaries. Stop trying to pretend that's what you're actually worried about. You're always defending Trump. You're just worried about his well being, not our country.
I knew this was coming.
He leaked
I was more referring to one of the general reasons that the Secret Service stays with ALL presidents forever.
You’re always defending Trump
Um, this is literally the first time I have ever commented about the man in my entire life.

He already sold them.
