Bold (and possibly foolish) prediction: Seeing Trump treated as an ordinary criminal will break the hold he has on the remaining center-leaning independents. Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg providing Trump with the due respect of an ex-President even as they indicted him afforded him the imprimatur of his former office. Watching him fingerprinted and photographed just as any mugger or meth dealer would be sort of breaks that image.

Not-bold prediction: there will be total chaos on DP as every left-leaning poster makes Trump's mug shot their avatar.

Former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants will be booked at the Fulton County Jail, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday.

“At this point, based on guidance received from the District Attorney’s office and presiding judge, it is expected that all 19 defendants named in the indictment will be booked at the Rice Street Jail,” Fulton County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Natalie Ammons said in a statement.

Ahead of this week’s indictments, Fulton Sheriff Pat Labat said that if Trump were charged, the former president would be treated like any other detainee.

“It doesn’t matter your status. We have a mugshot ready for you,” Labat told reporters.

Trump, allies will be booked at Fulton County Jail, sheriff says

The Fulton County Jail, plagued with overcrowding and detainee deaths and under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, could make history as the first location where any U.S. president — current or former— gets a mug shot taken. Former President Donald Trump and the 18 others indicted...

BREAKING: Trump, allies will be booked at Fulton County Jail, sheriff says​

Sure...why not? Give the media some nothingburger narrative to use during the weekend. That's really the only reason to do that.

Oh...and the Sheriff can sell the pictures and make some money.
 
Which prisons did we use for past traitors / mob bosses?
 


Sounds like a nice jail. 1.5 rating.

The Justice Department's civil rights division last month announced an investigation into jail conditions in Fulton County, citing violence, filthy conditions and the death of Lashawn Thompson, in 2022.

Best way to get some prison reform perhaps?

You would think, but I've seen this act a bunch of times already. When a wealthy connected white conservative actually ends up in the justice system, every conservative instantaneously turns into Civil Rights Activist Extraordinaire. Once the conservative is out of the system, their newfound civil rights activism goes...

The Secret Service isn't going to prevent him from getting booked, fingerprinted and photographed, if that's what you're imagining.

Did I say that?
 
I don't think that is a good move. Not only does it feed the Trump martyr narrative but the purpose of mug shots is for identification. We all know who he is. Having said that, the other 18 will have to go through that so why treat the ring leader special? It's a mess and a national nightmare.

Looking back, I'm still not clear why Bragg spared him the mug shot. It's pretty clear though that Willis isn't playing games.

Rumor was Trump was going to use the mugshot to drum up outrage and to raise money. Go figure.
 

Dude, not voting for him feeds into the Trump martyr narrative.

I read it was because mugshots were primarily for identification, in case a prisoner escaped. They said they didn’t give trump a mugshot because everybody knew who he was.
 
I respectfully disagree. I am sick and tired of him getting special treatment. Let the cards fall where they may.

That may be true but I still think it was also special treatment to some extent.
 
And how did the whole "restraint" thing work out, again?

Hon he ain’t nothing but special treatment. That’s all he will ever get. If he gets house arrest, it will be in Maralago, for piss sakes.

That’s not punishment.

It is if he's only held to one area and absolutely ZERO golf.
