During MSNBC's 2 pm hour today, hosted by Chris Jansing, MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner suggested that Donald Trump should be jailed pending his federal trial because of the "danger" and "threat" to the community he poses.

Kirschner, a former assistant US attorney, suggested that Trump poses a greater threat than thousands of other (often violent) defendants who are jailed pending trial, given:

"not only what we saw him do on January 6th, but his incessant posts and comments, that in a very real sense jeopardize, or put in harm's way, judges, prosecutors, their families, witnesses, grand jurors, trial jurors."

The people left him down . People like you that fell for the Democrat narrative at every turn. With all his distractions ,it’s a wonder he accomplished anything . Yet he did more then any President has done for the American people. It’s amazes me how shallow these trolls are.

[silent majority rising]

Glenn Kirschner should be jailed if he wants to be a true banana republic.

[Sgt_Schultze]

A former US attorney. ALL of the cases this nut prosecuted should be immediately reviewed.

Thanks!

If anyone doubts TDS is still alive and strong go to social media sites like Quora, Twitter and Craigslist politics and you will see.

“Jail your political opponent on fake charges?”

The charges are real if they are posted on the media and people read them. But the stupidity of this is that jail for a white collar crime is stupid. Jail is there for the possibility of flight risk. He’s pleaded not guilty across the board. He is no flight risk. Where does a former US president go to hide?

I have to take my hat off to MSNBC as they continue to display an ignorance bettering (lowering) themselves from moment to moment. For them, the bottom of the hole has leaks straight down.

The French Emperor Napoleon was exiled to Elba, after his forced abdication following the Treaty of Fontainebleau, and conveyed to the island on HMS Undaunted by Captain Thomas Ussher; he arrived at Portoferraio on 4 May 1814.^[14] He was allowed to keep a personal guard of 400 men^[15] and was nominally sovereign of Elba, although the nearby sea was patrolled by the French and British navies. During the months that he stayed on the island, Napoleon carried out a series of economic and social reforms to improve the quality of life. After staying for almost ten months, he escaped to France on 26 February 1815. At the Congress of Vienna, Elba was given to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. In 1860, it became part of the new unified Kingdom of Italy.

 

 

 

 

Exile on Saint Helena

Longwood House, Saint Helena, site of Napoleon's captivity

Refusing Napoleon's request for political asylum in England, the British kept Napoleon on the island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, 1,870 km (1,162 mi) from the west coast of Africa. Napoleon arrived at Jamestown, Saint Helena in October 1815 on board the HMS Northumberland. The British also took the precaution of sending a small garrison of soldiers to both Saint Helena and the nearby uninhabited Ascension Island, which lay between St. Helena and Europe, to prevent any escape from the island.^[221]

Napoleon stayed for two months at Briars pavilion before he was moved to Longwood House, a large wooden bungalow on Saint Helena, in December 1815. By this point, the house had fallen into disrepair. The location and interior of the house was damp, windswept and unhealthy.^[222][223] The Times published articles insinuating the British government was trying to hasten his death. Napoleon often complained of the living conditions of Longwood House in letters to the island's governor and his custodian, Hudson Lowe,^[224] while his attendants complained of "colds, catarrhs, damp floors and poor provisions."^[225] Modern scientists have speculated that his later illness may have arisen from arsenic poisoning caused by copper arsenite in the wallpaper at Longwood House.^[226]

With a small cadre of followers, Napoleon dictated his memoirs and grumbled about the living conditions. Lowe cut Napoleon's expenditure, ruled that no gifts were allowed if they mentioned his imperial status, and made his supporters sign a guarantee they would stay with the prisoner indefinitely.^[227] When he held a dinner party, men were expected to wear military dress and "women [appeared] in evening gowns and gems. It was an explicit denial of the circumstances of his captivity".^[228]

While in exile, Napoleon wrote a book about Julius Caesar, one of his great heroes.^[229] He also studied English under the tutelage of Count Emmanuel de Las Cases with the main aim of being able to read English newspapers and books, as access to French newspapers and books was heavily restricted to him on Saint Helena.^[230] Las Cases compiled the book The Memorial of Saint Helena about his time on the island with Napoleon; reflecting Napoleon's self-depictions, it depicts him as a liberal, visionary ruler for European unification, deposed by reactionary elements of the Ancien Régime.^[231]

Another pastime of Napoleon's while in exile was playing card games.^[232][233] The number of patiences named in his honour seems to suggest that he was an avid player of the solitary game. Napoleon at St Helena is described as being a favourite of his,^[234] while Napoleon's Favourite (or St. Helena) is clearly a contender. Other games with a Napoleonic theme include Napoleon's Flank, Napoleon's Shoulder, Napoleon's Square and Little Napoleon Patience. However, Arnold argues that, while Napoleon played cards in exile, the notion that he played numerous patience games is "based on a misunderstanding".^[232]

There were rumours of plots and even of his escape from Saint Helena, but in reality, no serious attempts were ever made.^[235] For English poet Lord Byron, Napoleon was the epitome of the Romantic hero, the persecuted, lonely, and flawed genius.^[236]

Frederick Marryat's sketch of Napoleon's body on his deathbed

Napoleon's personal physician, Barry O'Meara, warned the English government that his declining state of health was mainly caused by the harsh treatment. During the last few years of his life, Napoleon confined himself for months on end in his damp, mold-infested and wretched habitation of Longwood. Years of isolation and loneliness took its toll on Napoleon's mental health, having his court continually reduced, including the arrest of Count Emmanuel de Las Cases, conditions which Lord Holland used to bring about a debate regarding the treatment of Napoleon in captivity.^[237]

In February 1821, Napoleon's health began to deteriorate rapidly, and he reconciled with the Catholic Church. By March, he had become confined to bed. Napoleon died on 5 May 1821 at Longwood House at age 51, after making his last confession, Extreme Unction and Viaticum in the presence of Father Ange Vignali from his deathbed. His last words were, France, l'armée, tête d'armée, Joséphine ("France, the army, head of the army, Joséphine").^{[238][239][231]}

Shortly after his death, an autopsy was conducted and François Carlo Antommarchi, the doctor conducting the autopsy, cut off Napoleon's penis.^{[28][page needed][240]} Napoleon's original death mask was created around 6 May, although it is not clear which doctor created it.^[i][242] Napoleon's heart and intestines were removed and contained separately in two sealed vessels, which were placed inside his coffin at his feet. In his will, he had asked to be buried on the banks of the Seine, but the British governor said he should be buried on Saint Helena, in the Valley of the Willows.^[238]

Glenn Kirschner’s a few cards short of a deck..or he got his job based on the three K’s - Kolor, Kink, or Kin... Democrat’s new KKK prejudice.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Glenn Kirschner is on the “list” for when the time comes for it. /spit

[1Old Pro]

Major Garrett on CBS This Morning was saying similar things, how Trump’s comments indicate he has become unhinged and dangerous. These folks live in bizarro world. Then he goes on to say how he hopes they have him cornered this time and finally, finally he might lose support.

[midwest_hiker]

Talk about derangement, who ever is the leading R candidate is, the left will quickly pivot to whomever it will focus on that person next.
It switched from Bush Derangement Syndrome, to Trump Derangement Syndrome..

[batazoid]

In my humble O, I don’t think you can put a former President on trial on federal charges stemming from their presidency before they are impeached by the House and tried by the Senate.

[Mr. K]

The proper term is Beclown. As in “MSNBC continues to beclown themselves...”

=)

[metmom]

How dystopian. Jail someone based on the opinion of a news *analyst* because he MIGHT post a *danger*..

How about jailing MSNBC analysts without a trial and verdict by a jury because of the danger they pose to this country?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

YES Jail Trump and set off a Civil War that will rip all that is left of America to pieces. This will will not be armies and flag’s but asymmetrical Urban guerilla war NOT COOL. You turn Trump into Nelson Mandela by putting him in jail.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yeh, we can’t have people out there defending themselves against bogus charges on TV and everything. 🙄

[cowboyusa]

Interesting name.

[whitney69]

“MSNBC continues to beclown themselves...”

But doesn’t it just amaze you how they can sink into the further depths of idiocy and still look directly into the camera lying right through their teeth? And that there are many people out there that buys into their manure they are spreading? Seems like every time I think they have reached bottom, they bring in a bigger backhoe.

Can you say PROJECTION? I knew you could!

[JimRed]

“…his incessant posts and comments, that in a very real sense jeopardize, or put in harm’s way, judges, prosecutors, their families, witnesses, grand jurors, trial jurors.”

The “projection” comment refers to the above practiced by the left.
