I am also willing for you to go to jail.

And I’m guessing the judge also plays racquetball or something.

    Heh. I’m not sure the secret service even needs to.

    At a certain point, “we’re withdrawing protection” needs to be on the table.

      Unfortunately, secret service protection isn’t just about physically protecting him. It’s also about protecting the information that he knows.

        How’s that working out? Pretty sure that they didn’t protect a bunch of info at his home.

        Seems like the simplest method for dealing with traitors goes back to a long drop and a short rope.

        If done right it can be relatively quick and painless. I have never felt the need to learnt to tie a noose, but I’ll give it a shot for that piece of filth.

          It’s not hard. Every good fishing knot is also a potential noose. Get out there and teach your kids and friends how to fish, young sailor!

            Been a long time since I went fishing as anything else than a chance to hang with a friend, and kill a six pack on a nice sunny day.

            Hell, I’ve just sat with him while he fished and we shot the shit for a couple hours.

            It was in a public park, catch and release system. So a little chatter wasn’t gonna spook the fish anymore than a playground of kids screaming.

          Anyone with half a brain should know not to trust a thing he says. Yeah, if I were looking for intelligence info from him, I’d want the documents, too, not his word.

        Ah. Good point, yes.

        Though… I can think of cheaper ways to protect that information. We won’t talk about that, though. Don’t need a visit from the FBI.

          In a normal situation yes. The protection is there to deal with leaks via kidnapping and interrogation.

          Trump is, at least in semi-recent history, the only president who believes that the rules of state secrets do not apply to him.
