The U.S. Secret Service is in the business of protecting the president, whether he’s inside the Oval Office or visiting a foreign war zone.

But protecting a former president in prison? The prospect is unprecedented. That would be the challenge if Donald J. Trump — whom the agency is required by law to protect around the clock — is convicted at his criminal trial in Manhattan and sentenced to serve time.

Even before the trial’s opening statements, the Secret Service was in some measure planning for the extraordinary possibility of a former president behind bars. Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to remind Mr. Trump that attacks on witnesses and jurors could land him in jail even before a verdict is rendered.

    The Persuadertron was fun. You could scoop up the whole level on some of them, which my poor old Amiga really struggled with.

      legions of brainwashed drones roaming around blasting off assault rifles randomly in an expansion called american revolt. . . did this get back on-topic?

      yeah persuedertron was pretty much my plan A on most levels - at least when i replayed it a few years ago on a decent computer. A nice layer of human shields.
