The Next Trump Attack: Eternal Jail, By James Reed
Apart from the strategy of using the 14th Amendment based upon an alleged January 6 insurrection ploy, the next thing will be the judgment of Judge Merchan, who has convicted Trump on 34 felony counts in New York State and sentences him to jail at the end of November, with Trump facing a maximum of 136 years imprisonment if convicted. I think if Trump does decisively win, which is possible although last minute election fraud would turn things around (I write in the middle of the counting), I think the Democrats will try this. Trump could be limp once more, and say, well "law and order," even if it total corruption of the law and full-on disorder, or say, I am not going to jail, as strong leaders throughout history would do. Call in the armed forces if necessary.
I suspect though he will surrender and hope that this appeal process works and that he is not the first president killed, Epsteined, in jail.

"My mind is now turning to after the election.
What happens if Harris loses? Or even if she wins?
My fear is that after Trump wins, after the lawfare to try to get him removed as the president-elect and the contrived 14th amendment insurrection tactics are deployed and fail, then somehow Trump still gets taken down by hook or crook.
The most likely scenario for that to happen is that Judge Merchan, who has convicted Trump on 34 felony counts in NY State, chooses to throw the book at Trump and sentences him to jail at the end of November, with Trump going directly to jail. Trump now faces a maximum of 136 years imprisonment if convicted. A less likely but still possible scenario is another assassination attempt. JD Vance provides a backstop to that. Frankly, at this point, I suspect that JD Vance might be even more of a threat to the "New World Order" deep state plans than Trump would be….
The backstory on the risk of NYS jail time for Trump: Remember that the State of New York has convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of "falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal" (a sexual liaison that supposedly happened almost a decade before in 2006) ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The basic premise was that "has-been" porn star Stormy Daniels (AKA Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford), during the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, was going to go public to disclose that Trump and she had an affair almost a decade before. Trump's office apparently offered to pay her to shut up, which she accepted. Then she went on the media circuit and publicized the story anyway. The state went after Trump for falsified business records to conceal the $130,000 "hush-money" payment to the now-retired porn star before the 2016 election.
From Wiki (as biased as this may be, this article provides important context):
In 2011, Daniels considered selling the story to the celebrity magazine Life & Style for US$15,000 as Trump began exploring a potential presidential bid. His lawyer, Michael Cohen, threatened to sue Life & Style when it asked the Trump Organization for comment. Daniels' agent, Gina Rodriguez, leaked the story to the gossip blog The Dirty in October. The post was taken down following complaints by Trump's lawyers, and Daniels disputed the story's veracity.[8] Cohen acknowledged during court testimony in May 2024 that he advised for the story's removal.[9]
As Trump's 2016 presidential campaign began, Rodriguez approached multiple publications—including the National Enquirer—and attempted to sell the story. Following the publication of a controversial recording of Trump and Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, the National Enquirer sought to suppress the story. Rather than paying Daniels, the National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard negotiated a $130,000 non-disclosure agreement between Daniels and Michael Cohen. Cohen attempted to find the money as the election neared and repeatedly delayed her payment. Keith Davidson, Daniels' lawyer, canceled the deal in October 2016.[5][8]
Ultimately, Cohen drew the money from his home equity line of credit and sent it through a shell company incorporated in Delaware.[5][8] Trump initially denied knowing about the check made out to Daniels. In April 2018, aboard Air Force One, he told a reporter he did not know where Cohen got the money.[10]
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier in Trump v. Anderson that Congress would have to pass a special law invoking the prohibition in section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states "no one who has previously taken an oath of office who engages in insurrection can be an officer of the US".[88]
Of note, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik has filed an ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan for conflict of interest pertaining to his daughter's company - a group that represents Democrat politicians and political action committees. Merchan's daughter represents such clients as Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who has fundraised from Trump's indictment and criminal trial. Trump has also requested Merchan recuse himself from the trial due to his daughter's work. Merchan has refused to recuse himself from the trial - despite the clear evidence that he is compromised.
In fact, Merchan has also illegally donated to Biden and Democrats in 2020."
