United States v. Donald J. Trump is an unprecedented case for a variety of reasons that could be relevant to sentencing.

    If he goes to prison he is dead anyway, the people in prisons tend to not like politicians that made death sentence for drug offenses a thing…

      Apparently he would keep the secret service protection, although this is uncharted waters for sure. Opening Arguments podcast OA758: Re-Indicted And It Feels So Good! seems to agree.

        How shitty would it be to go from secret service to prison guard?

      Meh. (1) trump will have a very special incarceration, probably some form of isolation so that he is protected. (2) I think there will probably be secret service protection (could you imagine that assignment!). (3) he signed the First Step Act, which actually reduced federal incarceration by quite a bit
