118th CONGRESS
2d Session
H. R. 8081
To terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 19, 2024
Mr. Thompson of Mississippi (for himself, Mr. Carter of Louisiana, Ms. Lee of California, Ms. Wilson of Florida, Ms. Clarke of New York, Mrs. Watson Coleman, Ms. Crockett, Mrs. Beatty, and Mr. Cohen) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To terminate United States Secret Service protection for felons.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act” or the “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act”.
SEC. 2. DENYING CERTAIN FELONS SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION.
Section 3056(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by striking “declined.” and inserting “declined.The protection authorized in paragraphs (1) through (8) shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”.
So now as a convicted felon facing more than one year imprisonment, POTUS would no longer be eligible for SS protection detail, briefings, etc should this become law.
They are pushy little bastards.
This must have been their plan for a long time.
Pure EVIL...
this is clearly a white hat move.
It doesn't have Trump worried , nothing does. He's going to the fights tonight.
This might have passed to get to trump. Boomerang
Introduced, hasn't passed....
Would be hilarious if it passes and Trump is acquitted on appeal but the law still stands for when THEY are convicted lol.
If you read the text, the protection ends when they are “sentenced.“ There is no requirement that they actually serve that time in prison. Based on the text, the success of any subsequent appeal would be irrelevant. (But I assume that the interpretation of that point would depend upon whether the person affected was a conservative or a progressive.)
“The protection authorized in paragraphs (1) through (8) shall terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”
This should be stickied. It's too obvious what they're trying to achieve here. Bastards.
You can see where this is going. Big time boomerang
One more nail in their coffin. imo
Why do they even bother trying to hide their intentions, it might as well name Donald Trump in the bill directly.
That would give away their sneaky plot. ;-) I mean does the public even know about this.
First of all, Trump has a right to appeal. These members of Congress must live under a rock if they haven’t heard legal scholars on both sides say this was a sham trial. I hope these members of Congress are prepared to relinquish their security too.
This ties in, protection removal kicks in with a 1yr sentence, GP leak says they are giving him 1yr ???

Who cares? Secret Service are deep state. Tons of ex spec ops would line up for the chance to defend the GEOTUS.
Bingo!
Remember, this all needs to happen in order for The People to successfully prosecute the true criminals in the Swamp.
Strictly speaking. It’s not necessary for the People to prosecute the Swamp. It is however necessary for the Republic. At least as we understand it. To survive.
This whole song and dance has been about leaving enough of a Federal Government behind to start earning back the faith and loyalty to National institutions of the people.
Anything else. You risk creating the conditions for the country to Balkanize. Part of the reason the Constitution was created. The Government of established under the Articles of Confederation. Lost the people’s faith and loyalty in short order. And was barely by the skin of its teeth able to stop the States from going to War with each other over territorial feuds. We needed something stronger to keep the country together.
The United States doesn’t have the storied history’s of Kings and Queens of Europe. No Millenia long shared history. Not even a shared universal national culture.
We’re stitched together from dozens of different cultures and peoples and speaking dozens of different languages. With Thousands of different ideas on how things should work.
Much of the National History we do have today is to one degree or another a carefully constructed and curated work. Originally started by the Founding Fathers. As much Myth and Fabrication as it is Truth. Glossing over our failures. Highlighting our triumphs and unity. Done quite deliberately to promote unity.
Somewhat ironically. The only thing keeping this country together is the Constitution and the National Institutions created by the Government which is supposed to be given Authority to Govern by the self same Document.
We’re as much an experiment in the limits of Humans to Unify and the capacity of the Enlightenment Values to function in the real world as we are a Nation State. One that’s in no small amount of Danger. Even with people controlling the situation behind the scenes.
Given Republics and Classical Liberal values are declining in popularity among the population, because the past century+ of corruption and incompetence has done little to help endear the concepts to the world’s population at large to any meaningful degree. That and at least from appearances sake the foremost example of those ideas when applied to the real world seems to be the source of a not insignificant amount of the worlds suffering.
The fact it’s a Tyrannical Oligarchy wearing a Republic as a skin suit is a finer point that maybe lost on the people who’ve been on the receiving end of its “Assistance”.
I thought treason would be prosecuted in a military court and the convicted would do time in gitmo. Am I wrong about that?
