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.

These people have a death wish and are too stupid to know it. Lower than whale dung at the bottom of the ocean.
In these crazy times I’d believe the Secret Service (SS) would assassinate him.
The Dems have been waiting since 2015 to get this done..to have donald Trump get murdered..they tried killing him with corona but it failed, that is why the virus was created in the first place..but since that failed this is their next wet dream, this is what they have been dreaming about for yrs, to finally kill Donald Trump
The left thinks that if you kill the messenger, that NO ONE like him will ever run for president again, thus giving the dems forever power. They think by killing Trump they will kill maga and turn the GOP back into its original neocon form which got them no where
Works
Imprisoning President Trump should be the clarion call to arms for all Americans.
How quaint that you still think there’s a difference between the 2 parties.
GOP and Dems would be partying together like the Red Sox locker room after they finally broke the curse of the Bambino.
And demons.
:: They change the rules/laws as they please. ::
That is the entire ethos behind “our democracy”.
True democracy is incompatible with the rule of law [Constitution].
BTW, democracy and communism only exists on paper.
Starting with the WEF.
They’d kill us all, if they could.
I am of the same sentiment.

All my life there has been a back and forth exchange between Republicans and Democrats. This time it is different. These aren’t the Democrats of old. This is about globalism. It can’t be fully realized with independent, property owning Americans. I fear the people doing this want a reaction in order to establish martial law. By the same token, “that’s just what they want you to do” gets nowhere. No, if they succeed in their efforts, they will truly be shocked at the response.
In the United States, ya can’t just have a person killed because ya don’t like him.. Not legally.
So what are the charges? What has he done to draw such hate?
Do any of you know?
Wow, that is one weak statement.
They REALLY WANT a civil war, don’t they?
I respectfully disagree.
They are EVIL.
Fully discussed for one hour on Dan Bongino Show today. He was a Secret Service agent protecting Obama.
This law will countermand the protection orders for the Secret Service so as not to cordon off prison areas again and again for his safety. This is being done to kill him.
Bennie Thompson is a worthless POS.
Maybe he wants CWII to go kinetic.
