Key Democrats revealed new legislation Friday that would strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service agents if he is convicted and sentenced to prison.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said it’s about making sure Mr. Trump doesn’t get special treatment for whatever crime he might be sentenced. He is worried that having to accommodate a Secret Service protective detail could lead to accommodations for a former president.
“It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality,” the Mississippi lawmaker said. “Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment —and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.”
He named his bill the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act — or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act.
Under the law, former presidents such as Mr. Trump are given Secret Service protection.
For Mr. Trump, who is both a political candidate and a prosecuted citizen, that’s creating new challenges for the agency...
Mr. Trump also faces criminal cases in a state courtroom in Georgia and federal courtrooms in Florida and the District of Columbia.
Democrats who back the new bill said they believe the legislation is legal and constitutional. They dismissed ex post facto concerns, saying that legal doctrine barring changing the rules after the fact applies only in cases where the law is meant to be punitive.

Where have we heard this before?
These people are totally nuts.
No can do. This is not going to happen. Secret Service will not allow it. This is beyond incredible the arrogance of these a@2holes.
Unhinged hateful lunatics!
They are evil.
And when the democrats murder President Trump WE are next. They are bloodthirsty tyrants who have no problem climbing over the corpses of their marxist revolution to kill all of us. Prepare accordingly.
Are they really wanting Trump to become a martyr?
The evil in these people is far past worrying about public perception or outcry. They know that the people will do nothing and simply go out with a whimper. They can’t even be voted out anymore because vote fraud is so integrated now.
No, they’re not and with the help of the Uniparty aka the backstabbing weasels RINOS they will accomplish this. Don’t think for one minute that they don’t smell power after what the Republicans did. I’m sorry we have no representation whatsoever in the DC swamp. The only way to stop this madness will be to defend Trump ourselves…There’s no other way.
One thing for certain, the person the world’s leftists fear most is Trump. They can and will do anything and everything to prevent him from being elected. And if elected they will do everything to stop his actually taking office.
Our government has reached peak corruption and nothing much can be done except vote for Trump and hope he can deal with it.

“By any Means Necessary”
We need a 1788 France Reign Of Terror to clean house with these vermin!!
One day God received an urgent message to do something to save the United States from destruction.
He took out His list, and saw the name, Donald Trump.
God said, yes, he is strong.. I will ask him to serve the nation.
God sent an agent to see Trump. He found him busy in work.. Trump saw the agent and nodded to him..
The agent told Trump Who had sent him and explained the request.
Trump smiled.. Took a deep breath and said Yes, I will serve the people. The agent explained the difficulties.. The dangers.. The depth of the corruption.. But God will be with you.
Trump did not hesitate. Yes, I will serve.
Because this has NEVER been about Trump going to prison, this is about Trump being MURDERED in prison which is what the left wants..they have wanted him dead since 2015 and once the Biden jury comes back with their guilty verdict it will happen and they will celebrate his slaughter
That would be a bummer assignment for the secret service agents.
TRANSLATION: “We intend to kill Mr. Trump by any means necessary.”
The bill will likely pass with a tie breaking vote from Mike Johnson.
“Oh shucks! They fooled us again! We’ll get ‘em next time!”
Not just nuts, also evil and HATEFUL!
