I'm starting to think this isn't all just for show.
Until he’s in fact convicted…. And in jail and not immediately pardoned…. It’s all just for show.
Granted Jack smith doesn’t fuck around, and I don’t think he’s really the type to do a dog and pony show…. But….
Guiliani's proffer agreement means that A) they've got enough on Guiliani to make cooperating a more attractive option than not, and B) that there's Guiliani testimony that's more valuable than indicting Guiliani on whatever they have him on.
He'll never be incarcerated. Too much of a security risk.
I'll settle for home confinement with no internet & very, very limited visitors.
Any security risk trump poses is in fact an argument for locking him up. His house is not designed as a prison, and unless he is cut off from his followers totally there is always a chance they will be persuaded to break him out.
Further, he’s demonstrated he cannot keep his mount shut, and a house arrest scenario will never fully preclude the kinds of guests to which he might “brag”
Knowing how the justice system in this country works, he will probably get some incredible deal like Epstein originally did (and El Chapo maybe? I forget), and build a new fucking house specifically to hold him.
