Trump could be booked in violent Atlanta jail with crumbling walls
Washington Post ^ | August 18, 202 | Ben Brasch

Former president Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants in a sprawling racketeering case have until Aug. 25 to surrender to authorities in Atlanta — and, unless plans change, be booked at “Rice Street,” the notorious Fulton County Jail.

There have been ongoing problems with overcrowding in the jail, along with violence, overflowing toilets and faulty air conditioning. The sheriff called the environment a “humanitarian crisis” last month when the Justice Department opened an investigation after an inmate was found dead, covered in bed bugs and lice. And the building is falling apart, a point the sheriff tried to illustrate to county leaders by collecting hundreds of weapons fashioned from chunks of the crumbling walls and loading them into four wheelbarrows his deputies rolled into a public meeting last year.

But a VP who took millions in bribes and sold out his country now sits in the WH, dumb and happy.

I don’t think the secret service agents that accompany Trump will appreciate those conditions.

So what? He’ll walk in surrounded by SS, be booked surrounded by SS, and walk out surrounded by SS just like every other time.....the lardass that wrote this is looking for clicks.

I have no doubt that those Bolsheviks will at least try to book Trump into the Fulton County Jail.
The only question is how the Secret Service will respond.

Oh, and is there any hope that a judge would intervene? Probably not.

You’re right.

Doesn’t WaPo know that?

And you wonder who takes delight in that prospect?

Yes, I am calling you two out. There's nothing remotely funny about this.

I don’t think the secret service is going put up with too much Atlanta crap—at least I hope. I guess they could find some pretext to abandon him.

Humiliation is what they want, and Trump could play this to his advantage. People like to see a measure of humility in their leaders; it assures them that the boss knows who the real boss is.

Notice, the Washington Post never muses about the catastrophes that awaits the American people every minute the Sniffer, the demential patient, the man who doesn’t know where he sh*t last, is ensconced in the White House.

An ideal site for the assassination attempt. If they can’t convict him, they’ll try to kill him.

Yes, except now it’s a former President and a dangerous city jail. They know the difference, especially when the media frenzy starts. It’s all about optics.

They will get their media circus at the Jail. They might not get Trump but expect all the others charged to be dragged in and treated like common criminals. You darned well know the NYC media will be blasting Giuliano’s mugshot everywhere. Despite his heroics on 911, they hate him now.
