If the judge holds Trump in contempt, I think he will show restraint and not jail him. Instead, I can see him putting an ankle monitor on Trump, letting him travel between the court house and Trump Tower.

My question is: How would the Secret Service respond to such an order?

Setting aside crazy notions like making the thing explode, can they do their job, if their charge is continuously transmitting his location? Are the transmissions from ankle monitors encrypted or even remotely secure?

No way. Dude is ate up with TDS. His daughter has gotten paid $4M from bug-eyed pervert Adam Schiff. You know some of that cash has made its way back to Merchan.

ETA - Correct typo on judge's name

It's not crazy to think the ankle monitor thing can end up causing an incident which removes Trump and leaves the GOP scrambling. Now the likelihood is probably near zero this is merely just shaking the tree most likely.

POTUS Trump can call that Judge whatever he wants and there is absolutely nothing the Judge can do and the Judge knows it.

lol

Do you really think the Secret Service is going to allow a person that they are task with giving their lives for to have an electronic ankle bracelet on the subject.

You talk about an enormous risk .,..,having a Geo location finder that is not in SS control and some hacks hands for review??


I don’t think so

I'm guessing the judge will fine Trump $1,000 for each violation of the gag order. I believe the count is now at 7. $7,000 for Trump is chump change.

I know criminal contempt is at least a possibility, but I'd bet against it happening.

I'm quite certain that his would be if the court went that route.

I also sincerely doubt that an ankle monitor would be used in any event, considering that he will have a permanent SS detail for the rest of his life.

He would never need an ankle monitor. He has law enforcement with him at all times always…. The secret service

He will also never be jailed. The democrats know that would make him a Mandela-like figure

A former president is not going to go to jail nor wear an ankle monitor.

Trump should tell the judge to frick off and walk out.

You are giving this sorry excuse for a judge a lot more credit than you should. What restraint has he shown thus far?!?!

No way they put a monitor on him. And they're not going to get him into a prison in any fashion either. Secret Service would get a hernia laughing at the cops that showed up to execute that order.

All this talk about the SS and former presidents reminded me of the movie "Guarding Tess" with Nicolas Cage. Pretty entertaining.

The point of an ankle monitor is to know where a subject is. What’s the point when the SS is always by his side?
