If convicted, Hillary may get house arrest

As a protectee under the Secret Service Act, Hillary Clinton might serve time in her "gilded cage" mansion in Chappaqua if convicted a felony and sentenced to prison.

Under the Secret Service Act, Hillary receives lifetime Secret Service protection as a spouse of a president. However, there is no provision in the Act to terminate protection, even upon a felony conviction. The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) would therefore have to decide how to incarcerate someone with a Secret Service detail.

If Hillary were sent to a regular prison (likely a low security Club Fed), it would be difficult for the BOP to accommodate the Secret Service with their weapons and communications. Most likely the BOP would decide to create a special home confinement arrangement for her similar to that allowed in some cases for pre-release inmates. The BOP regulations provide that inmates may serve up to six months of home confinement, which includes surveillance or other monitoring methods. Given the conflict between the Secret Service Act and criminal law, the BOP may elect to create, in effect, a special private confinement facility at her luxury home with an inmate population of one.

Yes - author is taking a huge leap here. IF she’s arrested and IF she’s convicted.

LOL! Yup. Probably more of a chance of me getting arrested and tossed in the clink for being a climate change denial criminal.

Well at least she’d be able to spend more time with the grand kids. I mean who’s gonna babysit if she’s busy at the w.h.?

Well get on with it already. If this was me, I’d already be in prison.

The FBI is too scared to even interview her and now they have her convicted?

Congress can fix that, and Trump can sign it.

While her contingent of secret service agents play cards outside her cell? It could almost be a comedy skit. Hmmmmm. Maybe rosie o’dumbass could play the part of hildebeast.

I don't understand why any of these "pundits" even speculate on what will happen to this b!itch.

We all know it will be nothing.

The fix is in.

What we should be amazed at is the disbelief from the "pundits" about the rise and continued popularity of Trump.

They just can't figure it out...we're fed up with the "fix" at these levels.

Obama should be in the damned prison, right next to her cell, but it'll never happen.

And we all know why.

I fear for my country, my republic and our way of life.

I can find the right damned bathroom by myself, though.

Perhaps so. But in the midst of some debate between Hillary and Donald...Donald could say that he’s got compassion because when Hillary gets convicted...he will pardon her with a stipulation that she stays within the confines of Detroit for the rest of her natural life. The house fall into a state of laughter, and the debate will be finished.

Well exactly.

Everyone lies about sex.
Everyone lies about servers.

Home arrest? Well, after all, she has her own server, and think of all the time she’ll have to finally bake those cookies.

On the other hand, Bill will be free to roam without being caught.

I can kind of understand the fear and power the old nobility had over the everyday person. They had come from noble families that held power for generations.

Hillary Clinton?

She a lying, thieving, bullying, dirty little snot from Illinois.

Big deal.

Um .... with the secret service paying RENT to the Clintons?

No reason that they can’t keep her in a quickly assembled compound of trailers (mobile homes) out in the middle of no where.

Or how about they convert an empty Walmart shell into a new federal prison ... as some are saying that they’re doing to eventually help control us little people.
