Happy Arraignment Mr. EX President.

Lawrence Odonell and Mary Trump talk TFG and jail

RantWoman posted the following comment for consideration.

Hear me out here.

TFG should NEVER be anywhere near the nuclear codes ever under any circumstances. I do not care whether he goes to jail. I just want him securely detained with no capacity to flee the country.

Can anyone make an insanity not fit to stand trial defense? Invoke the 14th and 25th amendments. Declare him ineligible to be President.

Clearly sometimes he knows right from wrong. Other times he contradicts something that millions of people around the world have heard him say on tape. He can't keep his mouth shut so he's a danger to himself and not able to participate in his own defense. I don't know what anyone calls threatening nuclear war on Twitter or all his comments luring people into January 6 and then not backing them up, but "a danger to others" comes to mind for me.

Because TFG cannot participate in his own defense he also keeps burning through lawyers and he is having more and more trouble finding new ones.

SO

What about a court-appointed public defender. Find an attorney with at least some security clearance. The court negotiates an hourly fee, puts a lien on a Trump property to ensure that it gets repaid and then TFG has enough representation to ensure due process.

Probably it will take some sleuthing to find a property where a lien will stick. The cost of that sleuthing also goes on the tab.

I know this is pretty out of the box and I am not an attorney. This also won't help deprogram the Trump Cult. I also have no security clearance but I bet someone could make the case that damage TFG has done to US national security is close to that done by Robert Hansen, the spy who just died. Contain TFG. DO NOT PARDON HIM and concentrate on cleaning up the messes he made.
