By law, ALL former presidents receive 24/7/365 Secret Service armed protection.
There is NO provision in law that eliminates or stays that protection if a former president is jailed and the current judge has no jurisdiction to change that.
I agree with others here that the likelihood of Trump being jailed is less than zero, but the logistics of SS protection, and a number of other special considerations, is amusing to ponder.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 05-30-2024).]

In this wonky farce, if convicted, he will get an immediate pardon so he can not appeal and showcase this farce.

You know, that is evil, but it may well be the truth.
However, the Constitution (as always) has the answer. His sentence is clearly spelled out in Article 2, section 1, clause 8.
To wit: "I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Article 2, section 1, clause 8.

I don't know if he even gets convicted on this one. If so there is a good chance it is just a misdemeanor.
Even if he does it will not move the needle with the voters. Extramarital affairs don't matter to voters and everyone understands why he would try to hide it.
The Georgia and Florida cases are much different. Those have to do with actual governmental issues and much worse crimes.[This message has been edited by BingB (edited 05-30-2024).]

What would be grounds for the appeal?
