[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. |
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.
