group of House Democrats on Friday introduced legislation to strip former President Donald Trump of his Secret Service protection should he be convicted in one of the myriad criminal cases against him.
Trump is currently on trial in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case over allegedly falsifying business records. Trump has pleaded not guilty and contends that the case is part of broader political witch hunt against him. He also faces two separate federal indictments from special counsel Jack Smith and a fourth from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
"It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. 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," Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson said, according to the Washington Times.
Dubbed the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act," the measure would apply to anyone with Secret Service protection convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year in prison.

Yes - come and take them.
What do you really and realistically think would happen if we started organizing an armed militia to force their hand?
*this is flat out sheer hatred. I believe many if not all leftists are demonically possessed and demonically influenced.*
Agree! It’s demonic... it will tear the nation apart.. it will tear those who live with it to shreds also.
Let me say, the Lord is not going to let them keep the damnation going like this. He has been put through hell and it’s hate run amuck and out of control. only the devil himself gives that kind of hate. God allows and God calls STOP.. it’s time to stop.
My description of Donald Trump..
I want to talk about who Donald Trump is .. for all of you who has taken the media version and not looked into it yourself.
The hate that is aimed at Trump is one thing... it’s manufactured by those who don’t know how to find the good. It’s also from those who don’t want this good man messing up their global goal. or firing the corrupt..
I researched this man before he came on the scene.. Let me tell you who Donald Trump is.
He loves and cares for the people. He is a patriot. He loves the United States.. He is a loyal man. He is a good father. He is a giving person. Of all his wealth and possessions, he will give to anyone in need. He will help them... he used his plane to take that little boy to the hospital. He has volunteered to work for the country and for we the people... he has been attacked and hit and knocked around.. they have tried to ruin him... to destroy him... to bankrupt him... he is still standing and he is still in the process of saving our nation from the globalists and those who do not give a rats for this country, and using it for their own selfish goals.
If you don’t like Trump, it’s your problem. He is working for this nation and he is keeping the communism and other control factors, out of the control of the United States. If you can’t see it... study, research, listen till you see the good in this man. To even try to compare him to biden.. is foolishness...
I do not know why Donald Trump agreed to go to bat for we the people. He could play golf.. retire and enjoy.. But he is in the trenches and I am thanking Donald Trump for saying YES to the question.. “will you serve?” I have grandchildren and I don’t want the likes of any democrat..or a biden or a look alike... to be in the driver’s seat setting into motion, things I do not like and do not want for my grandchildren. It’s gotten so bad.. so anti God..so corrupt.. Thank God for Trump!
When trump said revenge is winning I say no! revenge is using the tools you have to investigate prosecute and jail all those who broke the law, tax payer money well spent
Dan Bongino questioned how SS could possibly protect a jailed president.
Now we know the rat sol’n.
You forgot the sarcasm tag. The left is stealing our country right from under us, and we're too busy making them rich by paying to watch their media, buying products from them, and using their tech to post our status to do anything about it.
"Try that in a small town"? That's like challenging Hitler to try that at the Maginot Line. They're winning without having to "try that in a small town", thanks in part to our money and apathy. When they do get around to that, it will be too late to stop them.
My grandparents wouldn't buy anything made in Japan or Germany back in the 40's...don't buy anything from a blue county or hostile country.
That's a start, but we also need to stop pouring our money into the companies and media that are actively working against us, even if it means doing without.
But after years of saying this, it's clear to me that our outrage will last only until the next ball game or the next hot deal at Amazon.
Exactly.
See post number two.
You are absolutely right...our grandparents were 'cut from a different type of cloth'.
I know that is what they want. I just have this thing with God. He is able to free Trump, and if we pray and seek His face, He is faithful to answer. I don’t want to see this United States be destroyed by the followers of satan. I have grandchildren who deserve freedom and a life without fear.
The dems are full of anger and rage. They absolutely will do anything at all to keep Trump from the White House. The intention of this bill is to get him Epsteined in prison.
If this lynch mob trial finds Trump not guilty, I fear the left will take very drastic actions to keep Trump from the office he was elected to. They have no principles, other than winning.
You can count on it nothing else they try is working his numbers are up to a point where Biden’s odds are as good as a snow balls chance in hell.
They are the lowest form of life in D.C. .
He is pure evil. He is Aggressively EVIL.
Passive murder. Nuts are everywhere, needing only a prominent person to fasten on. Note the lack of SS protection for candidate RFK jr.
Pure insanity it seems to me. As far as I know , Trump has not been convicted of anything, so they just keep coming up with new accusations, trying to make something stick. You would naturally think they would back off for a time as this so far has just been a waste of the taxpayer’s money & the taxpayer should have some say in that. This is not justice & I’ve been around the block enough times to recognize witch hunts, I think. The people that we need to take some positive action on this are the very ones causing the problems.
