During a recent conversation with reporters from CNN Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis admitted that if Donald Trump gets convicted in her case against him, she's going for prison for him. She is not gonna treat him with the same kid gloves that other courts have been treating him with. She says, if Trump is convicted, she's gonna go for the prison sentence against him. Here is what she said. Specifically, I know that in the media and even in the world, we like instant gratification. The judicial process is a long process, and so we'll be here with the case for a while. She was then asked straight up by the CNM reporter, will Trump go to prison? And she said this, I think that everyone in society is the same, and I don't know why that's such a difficult concept for people. You can look at the charges and based on those charges will be recommending appropriate sentences.

No one gets a special break because of their status. The RICO charges that Donald Trump is facing in Georgia, and that's just part of the charges he is facing. But the RICO charges carry a mandatory minimum of five years in prison. So if Trump is convicted, it stands to reason that Willis will request no fewer than five years in Georgia State Prison for Donald Trump. Now, that's where things get a little weird, right? Because Donald Trump, thanks to a law expanded by President Obama while he was president, Donald Trump has guaranteed secret service protection for the rest of his life no matter what. It would take an act of Congress to strip Donald Trump of his secret service protection. The reason that's important is because if Trump goes to prison in Georgia, the secret service goes with him. Now, that's gonna be weird. Like I, I feel bad for any Secret Service agent that is assigned to that detail because you'll be protecting him in jail.

That doesn't sound pleasant. It's not like you get to go spend the day at Mar-a-Lago, making sure nobody runs up to him and like, eh, I'm at a resort. No, you'll be in a Georgia prison. That's not gonna be fun, and you will have to protect him from other prisoners. So you're not protecting him from people at a golf course. You're protecting him from people who have committed some possibly pretty serious crimes. So the logistics of putting Donald Trump in jail are of course, kind of mind blowing, but fa Willis doesn't care. She's like, look, if the time comes for that, we'll figure it out. If we have to accommodate the Secret service, we're gonna figure that out too. We could put Donald Trump, obviously, it'd be like a minimum security type situation. Uh, he would likely be removed from the general population and

Probably only put around, you know, people that are white collar criminals almost, I guess I would say. So he's probably not gonna be any in any real danger, and it's not gonna be, you know, locked down, lights out, all that crap. But it's gonna be quite the scene, man. Not gonna lie. Fannie Willis is being relentless in her pursuit of justice, and that's what matters. She's not treating Donald Trump like he is some kind of special person, and we've seen that from the beginning, from the mugshot, all the way to a possible prison sentence. Fannie Willis is handling Trump as if he were any other criminal, and that, believe it or not, is exactly how the justice system is supposed to work.
