but one thing we ll try to him about is something i haven t discussed in a full segment on this program but i have suggested from time to time, that i do not see, given that presidents of the united states get lifetime secret service protection, i have not been able to see how a president, former president, can be sentenced to prison. that means a dozen secret service agents. you ve seen how many secret service agents go to court with him. how many have to go to prison with him? how do you do that? in what prison? how is that supposed to work? i have just as i think about it i have thought i thought it to be impossible. eric holder thinks it s possible. as attorney general used to be in charge of the bureau of prisons so finally we have someone who knows more about this than i do, which is pretty easy to find. those are some logistics i would like to hear about, lawrence, so i will be tuning in. finally we re gonna have that discussion. i m eager to do. it at long last.
