Well, but if he does so. Will it be, like a normal prison?
Like many convicts of the crime of white collars, Trump may go to the minimum security prison. But do not start photographing rural clubs – Prisons are still minimal security prisons.
“I would like to say that the biggest difference is in the nature of housing, [which might be] “But your freedom is still strongly restricted while you are in the facility,” said Alexander Rinirt, Professor of Cardoso College of Law.
On the other hand, the minimum security prison may not be safe enough for such a prominent person. Although many prominent people have spent time in prison before, it is difficult to say that no one approaches Trump in reputation (sorry, Martha). There will be major questions about his security: Should he be in a special unit separated from the general population? Will the secret service come with him?
“It will be easier to provide this type of security and safety in a higher security prison,” Rinart said.
Since this is a government issue, Trump will go to a government facility, which will be chosen by the Ministry of Corrections. As for the so -called Feeding the club The facilities in which the wealthy and well -known convicts may be depicted by time, only for federal crimes, as the tongue suggests in the cheek. since Cohen He was convicted of federal charges, and he spent a prison sentence at FCI OTISVILLE, which Forbes It is called one of the “most overseed” prisons in the United States.
Trump could not run for the presidency from prison, can he ??? Can he?!?!
Legally, betting.
As long as he is more than 35, a natural citizen born in USHassan said that the resident for at least 14 years, and he only served as a president once, is qualified to run for a second period.
Trump himself said this is the plan. Talk to journalists at the conservative political work conference earlier this month, Hill Trump stated that he “will not think about leaving” the race if he was charged, adding that “he may enhance my numbers.”
If convicted of a felony, he may not be able to vote for himself, though – people who are active. In general, it is not qualified to vote in the United StatesAnd Some countries only Allow the convictions of a felony to vote after their release.
But can he already a prison campaign? Well, it happened before. In 1920, the Socialist Party candidate Eugene F. Reckless 3.4 % From the popular vote from a dungeon in the federal Atlanta prison, where it was imprisoned On charges of sedition to deliver a speech that opposes the draft of World War I.
Logistics, it is difficult to say. “He will not be able to do the gatherings,” Rinart said. “There are many people who will not be able to communicate with them, and he will not be able to meet the collection of donations personally,” Rinart said. “His ability to communicate with the outside world, even at the minimum security environment, will be greatly restricted – this does not even mean the cost that may have reputation. When I think about all the things that the typical presidential candidate must do, you can do almost nothing if you are detained.”
There is also the issue of full timing. Even if it is Trump He is In the end, he was convicted and sentenced to prison, and he will come after a very long trial that has not started yet.
“If there is a trial for Donald Trump, I doubt that the trial and all appeals will be concluded before November 2024,” Eisen said.
Let’s say that he won the presidency. Can he pardon himself?
This issue is not, since this is the concern of the state – the presidential pardon can only be granted to federal crimes.
If federal accusations are convicted … no one is completely sure. Shortly before leaving the position, Trump was said to put an idea Pardon For potential crimes, its legitimacy was the subject of discussion by legal scholars. in 1974 MemorandumThe Ministry of Justice took a position that one of them unconstitutionalBut this is not legally obligated.
With no legal precedent for such a step, it is not clear whether this pardon will actually stand up. But even if so, this still will not be the end of his legal problems. Hassan said: “If he excuses him, he may be isolated to do this and remove him from his position to offend the use of power.”
Trump is a problem for a group of other things too, right?
Indeed – the New York case is just one of the many Trump facing Trump, although no other case has been charged as of early April.
in GeorgiaThe Grand Persons Authority is investigating Trump’s alleged attempt to cancel the election results for 2020. This issue relies on a phone call that Trump only had a few days before the inauguration of Biden, during which it is Threatening and reprimanding Georgia Foreign Minister Brad Ravenbsberger to try to make him manipulate the results of the state elections in his favor. While talking, Trump begged “finding” enough sounds to help him win. Shortly after Washington Post The sound published by the call, prosecutors in Volton Province, Georgia, has been published. A criminal investigation opened In “attempts to influence” elections. In fact video On March 21, Trump defended the call as “perfect perfect”.
At the federal level, Trump is also investigated by his poor factory Classted documentsAnd as well as to him procedures It relates to the rebellion on January 6 and alleged attempts to cancel the elections.
So regardless of what is happening with the New York case, Trump is still in a deep legal danger.
“Donald Trump faces the most dangerous possibility so far-not only from judicial prosecution, but from the actual condemnation-in his career in the entire half-century Avoid the edges of the lawEisen said: “This may be the time when it finally falls.”
