    I’d love to see it too, but I’m pretty sure that between the the logistics of locking up a former President and the very apparent dementia there’s going to be some kind of clemency. As long as he is permanently barred from political activity, is sentenced to some form of house arrest, and of course has to pay whatever restitution is required, I’d be okay with that.

      What logistics? You put him in a jail. Works for other people. “What about secret service protection?” They can go there with him. They can go home at night though. If you worry about his safety, put him in his own personal prison on an abandoned military base. It worked for Rudolph Hess.

      It’s only hard if you make it hard.

      House arrest is much too lenient for that man. I say this as someone who left their suburban property exactly once in the last 5 years.
