Jan 6 Committee Chair Offers Bill To End Secret Service Protection For Convicted Felons

[ZERO] In a move aimed at Donald Trump, House Democrats have introduced a bill that would remove Secret Service protection for any former executive sentenced to prison for a federal or state felony.

How fortunate that the Republicans still have a slight majority in the House, and so retain control.

The bill comes from Democratic Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, who, in a fitting Deep State overlap, is not only the former Jan. 6 committee chairman but also the ranking member of the Homeland Security committee. Introduced Friday, HR 8081 has 8 cosponsors so far -- all Democrats.

These days, nearly every bill comes with a goofy, forced acronym, and this one's no exception. Thompson has titled it the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act."

The measure seeks to address an admittedly huge conundrum that would arise in the event Trump gets jail time for any of the various politically-motivated prosecutions he's facing around the country: How would Secret Service agents operate inside a prison?

If Thompson's bill became law, they simply wouldn't. That would make possible Democrats' fever dreams of Prisoner Trump getting shivved in a prison shower, and negate their dread that a judge might choose to sentence Trump to house arrest out of mere practicality.

As Homeland Security committee Democrats wrote in a fact sheet describing the bill:
There can only be one reason this action is being offered.

#2 Dang! I had Bee.

It is amusing to think of Trump running the country from prison like some Mexican drug lord.

Whatever the source.
The LSD's know, in order not to swing, when Trump is re-elected. There is a need to have or set up another JFK situation.

But how about also adding "any NON-USA born elected person and/or those that came to power illegally and/or violated the US Constitutional Law while in power"?

#5 It would be interesting to see Trump guarded by retired Delta Force dudes.

#7 The next step for Biden regime is to build gallows on the front Whitehouse lawn to hang political opponents from.

#8 Donald Trump is undergoing a criminal trial in Manhattan. He is charged with filing corporate records that included a false statement; namely, that payments to Michael Cohen that were described as being for legal services were, in fact, to reimburse Cohen for making one or more payments to Stormy Daniels in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement. But those payments to Daniels were perfectly legal, and filing a false corporate document is a misdemeanor on which the statute of limitation has passed.
So in order to charge Trump, District Attorney Alvin Bragg had to allege that the false documents were filed in order to cover up another crime. That would make it a felony. But what is that other crime? Bragg has been coy about it. In truth, there was no other crime, and Bragg’s prosecution is election interference on behalf of the Democratic Party, plain and simple.
Which means what, exactly? I suppose the translation is that Trump didn’t want voters to know about his fling with Daniels. But an “illegal conspiracy to undermine the integrity of a presidential election” does not define a crime. The “hush money” payment was legal, not illegal. And Trump’s desire that voters not know about his relationship with Daniels was no different from Biden’s desire, in the 2020 election, to prevent voters from learning that he was senile. Both candidates wanted to conceal something from voters, but neither candidate committed a felony to do it.

#9 ^ Add to that Biden's desire for people to not know he showered with his daughter.

#11 The Jan. 6 Committee put on a Communist show trial that wasted our hard-earned money. The so-called committee was constituted of Trump haters. This bill put forth by Bennie Thompson is yet another attempt to
