Can't get past this thought. Trump is the first arrest.

It just struck me as I was playing out scenarios in my mind.

Nobody fits, tried the first arrest as pence... Maybe, first arrest pelosi, no, it would confirm him as dictator.

The pope? Naw.

But then I played around with the military arresting Trump. Huh. Maybe. Can't be a dictator while under arrest. Would be eaten up by the yellow journalists. Hmmm... Maybe... Would provide great cover if they then arrested the rest of the government.

There, I hate to say it, but it works. Arrest Trump, followed by the rest of the government. Put down the insurrection. Then military tribunals. Aquit Trump. Hang the traitors.

Fuck me if I just gave away the game.

"POTUS is protected"

Also protected while "incarcerated"? Before Jan 20?

If after inauguration, this angle seems too risky. I would think POTUS has to be able to use POTUS power to trigger the event that takes them down. Post Biden inauguration, unless that is a sting, will take POTUS power away, who triggers the event?
