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.

The democrats are very dangerous
Conservatives would never suggest that the Clintons or Obamas be stripped of Secret Service protection.
This really does sound like something from the Bee.
And NONE of us ever thought we would witness this in the highly stable USA.
And Johnson will be the first vote to be cast against Trump! Obtw, bill just passed… No warrant for the fisa bill . EFFIN BETRAYAL!! He will answer to God!! And God is NOT AMUSED! Hey pius Johnson what you gonna do when they came after chtistain pastors with without a warrant ..YOU EFFIN POS!!!!! 😡
Johnson was/is a Deep State snake. He serves Satan while pretending to be Christian.
“House Dems...”
This is the party with whom the Republican leaders in the senate and house are aligned with.
All of the Republicans in congress should be united in opposing the Democrats. Anyone that sides with the Democrats should be purged.
The Purists were right. They’ve always been right.
every person on FR should call senators and rep tomorrow and HOWL!!!!!!!!!!
Good. I don’t trust those govt employees at all. Trump should get the best bodyguards available and pay them handsomely. Make it plain that if anything happens to him, the Trump family will take them to the cleaners.
It’s a trend Biden wants RFKJR assassinated rejecting his request for SS three times even after armed men caught near him twice; one even had a fake police ID.
My prediction.
Trump loses
Gets jail time
Appeals
Striped of SS protection
Lock up
IT happens
Supreme Court overturning
Too late
Apocalypse Now happens
Armageddon
Biden nukes US in the chaos
The Democrats want Trump DEAD!
They want YOU dead. Trump is just in the way.
We are well armed and equally (or exceedingly) dangerous.
But if he’d drop out of the Presidential race they’d give it right back as an ex-President.
Wicked Democrats
