Now that Oath Keepers’ Stewart Rhodes got 18 years for seditious conspiracy, how many years will the man who incited that seditious conspiracy get?
@StevenBeschloss I’m happy with anything except four more years.
@StevenBeschloss
Trump is the Don of sedition. Any time is too short. An old fart
@StevenBeschloss Afraid house arrest is the most we can hope for. USSS couldn't protect him in the Florence Supermax.
@StevenBeschloss @12thRITS Sadly, #Whitehouse arrest appears unlikely, tho that’s probably his next residence. Not saying it’s my hope, or that it’s a rational idea. But what if it happened? Would secret service accompany him to state prison?
@StevenBeschloss 25 years works for me!! 🤷‍♀️
@StevenBeschloss 4 more years? 🤷‍♂️🙁
@StevenBeschloss ideally, all of the years. If multiple eternities were only possible...
@StevenBeschloss zero, because he was president
@StevenBeschloss Zero years. Dump has spent the last 40 years dodging the consequences of his malfeasance, so I see no reason to believe this will be any different. There are two different codes of justice in this country; one for rich white guys, another for everyone else.
@StevenBeschloss Enough to get him to dementia or a stroke.
@StevenBeschloss men… please don’t forget Ted (Cancun) Cruz.
@StevenBeschloss The fash want him to get four years.
@StevenBeschloss Rhetorical, right? It only took one lie to get rid of Bill Clinton. This circus that is destroying our democracy is deadly and needs to find its way to justice
@StevenBeschloss I’d like for the former guy to go to jail, but I’ll be content if he gets at least house arrest for at least ten years with no access to social media (which would probably be a life sentence given his age, diet, and fitness level). If it turns out that he sold state secrets to other nations, he should get life at minimum.
@StevenBeschloss Whatever it is, it’ll be a life sentence. I expect him to enter some sort of institution—not necessarily penal—fairly soon, and live out his days there.
@StevenBeschloss I’d be happy with an obit.

@StevenBeschloss

I’d suggest we’ve embarked on a race with multiple possible finish lines:
1) Mortality, #Trump is not the healthiest of creatures but his life diminution habits need to balanced against the longevity genes of his parents
2) Election - Will the #WhiteHouse be a legal haven?
3) Legal Fabianism - delay and impede a judicial outcome
4) Criminal court date - will it actually happen and is a conviction and sentence possible
5) Social Unrest as Trump fans rise up

@mnutty @StevenBeschloss Interesting I need to think about this.

@rwether2022 @StevenBeschloss

Lots of possible forks in the road. Nothing is foreordained

@StevenBeschloss In all seriousness, Trump may threaten, brag, act like a victim, and say he above the law. Those he controls may parrot him and banish weapons as they do so. However, they will be visible as Trump is now visible. Being that when someone violates laws in plain sight, they've exposed themselves. Be afraid if they are ignored.
@StevenBeschloss
I’ll take Presidential Assassination for 500, Alex.
