No matter how much he deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars nobody can risk a "president" getting shived in jail and the logistics of keeping him safe would be too costly.

The maximum we can hope for is house arrest in a dwelling of the states choice without internet access. But even that would be stretching out luck I'm afraid.

Round the clock secret service protection, for life, no matter where he goes. But somehow keeping him safe when he's constrained in one place would be too expensive?

Not sure how that makes sense.

Yep, secret service in jail. That's not going to cost extra hazard pay.

also, if he you think the Trumpets are insane now, wait until he stubs a toe in jail.

You realize they currently have to pay for lodging and travel and shit, right?

Idk what this argument is you're trying to make. There are a million angles you could try, but "it's too expensive to put him in jail" is absolutely not the one I would take.

Definitely a better idea to shift to "it's too divisive to hold him accountable". I still think that's a terribly weak argument, but it's easier to defend than the previous one.

Hey, I get it, I want him to rot in jail too, I just don't see it happening for aforementioned reasons. And I get it the reasons given might be bullshit but since when did it mattered if something was bullsjit or not? It hasn't in the last 20 years that's for sure.

Ok but you weren't originally suggesting it as a bullshit reason. You were suggesting it as a logical reason.

You yourself claimed the logistics of keeping him safe in jail would be too costly, and thus we should be ok with house arrest.

I'd risk that.

You either have little or nothing to lose or are oblivious to what rage fuckery his brainwashed flock is capable of.

I for one would not like to find out and I live 1000nds miles away from this power keg.
