Whereas he is technically dealing with a most sentence of as much as 4 years in jail if convicted — nobody actually expects that to occur, particularly for a first-time offender like Trump.
Nonetheless, a more likely situation within the interim is the potential for DT being held in contempt for violating a gag order that is been handed down by the decide on this case … which prosecutors have argued Trump already did and must be punished for proper now.
Whereas they’re simply asking a decide to impose fines for what they declare are examples of Trump violating the gag order — by way of posts of his on Reality Social, and so on. — they’re additionally saying Trump must be jailed there within the courthouse if he continues … and if that occurs, Secret Service is, in actual fact, ready to do what they’re legally obligated to maintain him protected.
Federal sources with direct data inform TMZ … whereas the probability of Trump being thrown in no matter courthouse pokey they’ve within the again is slim, we’re instructed the company would proceed to guard and serve him in any respect prices, even when he was technically behind bars.
Our sources say, realistically, Trump could be separated utterly from different inmates being held on the similar facility — and in that situation … Secret Service could be proper there on standby. In different phrases, there’s completely no probability Trump could be really uncovered.
We’re instructed that if Trump have been to be held in contempt and jailed, it’d most likely be very transient and momentary — one thing we’re instructed the Secret Service would not suppose could be tough to handle if push got here to shove.
Now, on the prospect of Trump being imprisoned for for much longer if he is convicted … our sources say the Secret Service has but to actually get collectively and talk about that risk — however once more, contemplating it is extremely unlikely … we’re instructed they are not overly involved about it.
With that stated, we’re instructed the company would congregate and put collectively a stable, long-term sport plan if that is in the end the sentence that Trump receives … and the identical pondering would apply, 24/7 safety, it doesn’t matter what … and it doesn’t matter what atmosphere.
Happily for DT, that is what he is afforded as a former president of those United States … whether or not folks prefer it or not.
