Former President Trump criticized the judge presiding over his 2020 election case, just days after she warned him against making any “inflammatory statements” that could intimidate witnesses or prejudice the jury pool.
In a statement posted overnight on Truth Social, Trump called U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan “highly partisan” and “very biased & unfair.”
“She obviously wants me behind bars,” he added.
Best outcome to treason and coup attempt is house arrest? Lol.
While we’re at it, let’s do house arrest in an old castle, and make sure all of his friends have house arrest there as well. Maybe have him write a book of some kind, say “My Struggles” or something…
He isn’t being investigated or tried for either of those so at the same time we can contemplate what the outcome of his parking ticket would be. Who cares?
For what he is currently being investigated and tried for, I don’t believe he would see time in a real jail for. Likely spent the remainder of his life in a decent house with no opportunity to leave. Secret service won’t be stripped and I don’t see them sharing a jail cell with him. Let alone having a random inmate share a cell or mess hall with a former president.
John Dean served prison time in a military facility for Watergate, and he was just Nixon’s White House counsel. We have the means to imprison a former president outside of the existing federal prison system.
I think house arrest is the most rational and likely outcome but a military like facility is possible too, I hadn’t considered that and am not sure what it would look like. Probably the most secure outcome
