On the MSNBC program "Deadline," Morgan State University Professor Jason Johnson argued that "Trump has to be jailed. He's such a direct danger American democracy that there is no other effective remedy than immediate incarceration."
The Professor explained "it's too risky for us to be concerned with his constitutional right to a fair trial. The man has such sway over a substantial percentage of the population that I don't think we could empanel a jury that would convict him no matter how solid our evidence is. There is an international precedent for what I propose. It's called 'protective arrest.' It was used in Germany during the 1930s when there were many threats to the public peace and welfare that couldn't be dealt with under normal jurisprudence. And, you know what? It worked."
"I believe that seeing Trump summarily thrown in jail could be the 'shock-to-the-system' that his many followers need to receive if they're to be weaned off of his lies," Johnson predicted. "It would show that their dreams of a comeback are futile and they can go back to living normal lives like they did before Trump ever ran for president."

When it ought to be the Clintons, the Obamas and George Soros in jail instead.
And people wonder why the founding fathers enshrined the right to weapons in the Constitution.
It is more turthful to say that Jason Johnson and those who think like him are the immediate and direct threat to this country and our freedoms.
Keep talking, Jason. I hope we are paying you enough.
As usual, John, too close to the truth...
