riddle me this!
GOODSHIT WANTS TO KNOW: Every president is guarded by the Secret Service. When a president no longer is in that office, he is still guarded by members of the Secret Service. If Trump is indicted and found guilty and sentenced to, say, 5 years in jail, will Secret Service members be sent to jail with him?

I believe it was Pres. Harry Truman once observed that the Oval Office is the crown jewel of the federal penal system… no escape. All things allowed for I’d say the answer is most likely yes, after a fashion. The only safe place to incarcerate a former president (safe for the nation as well as the inmate) would be under air-tight house arrest, say an off grid place somewhere in the middle of nowhere (southern Colorado highland desert? think the Army has some unused land up there) with several layers of security beginning with an outer perimeter of Army/Marine bad boys to an inner perimeter of his secret service detail whose orders have been modified just a bit. Still, one very fine question. ‘Spose time will tell if told we are.
