Secret Service Meets With Jail Officials as Trump Verdict Looms
The unprecedented trail of trials continues for former and presumptive next President Donald Trump, and the world is watching to see what will happen.
Trump supporters have railed against what they see as unfair treatment, harassment and campaign interference, and now wait to see if the jury, which is set to begin deliberations, will find Trump guilty of the 34 charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg leveled against him.

Then, should Trump be found guilty, it will be up to conflicted Judge Juan Merchan to decide the fate of the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.
Merchan may very well be the one to sentence a former president, and candidate for president, to jail.
Trump’s “pit bull,” Laura Loomer, has worked tirelessly to uncover the many conflicts of interest that would make most upstanding judges recuse themselves from the case, such as Merchan’s daughter being virulently anti-Trump, yet Merchan has refused to do so.
As CBS News has reported, “Each of the 34 felony falsification of business records charges that Trump is facing carries a sentence of up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. He has pleaded not guilty.”
In preparation for the possibility of the former president being sentenced to jail, it has now been reported that the Secret Service has met with local jail officials.
CBS also reported that “As a former president, Trump is entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest of his life, wherever he happens to be. Behind bars, corrections officers would in turn be responsible for protecting those agents assigned to Trump.”
This potential result of what many believe to be a political witch-hunt and weaponization of the legal system against Trump would have monumental consequences for the nation.

There is no telling how much internal strife, protests or possibly the start of armed conflict across the nation could erupt from such a sentence, but in these times of fear, it is best to place one’s trust in the Lord.
David leaned on the Lord in times of severe trial, and so did Jesus Himself. When they were suffering they turned to prayer and placed their faith not in the situation around them, but in the God who is bigger than all things and controls all of reality.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” (Prov. 3:5).
It’s easy to get caught up in the ways of the world and let fear, doubt and anxiety into our hearts. But we serve a God who has overcome fear and has instead given us power, love and a sound mind.
