Military? How 'bout Gitmo. He'll be well-protected there.

Not as well-protected as being on a domestic base. If you gave him a residence on Fort Liberty and confined him there, it would impose a sanction without having to tie the Bureau of Prisons up in knots. I think that's far more likely than him being sentenced to a BoP facility, if he were to actually be convicted and sentenced and begin a sentence.

Even that's pretty unlikely, because Trump probably has two election chances to avoid serving a sentence, even if he's convicted. The 2024 election will certainly happen before he could even begin serving a sentence - if a Republican wins, he'll certainly be pardoned. But I also suspect that even if he were convicted, he will be granted post-trial bail pending the disposition of his appeal (he'd certainly appeal). He'd meet all the technical requirements for delaying the beginning of his sentence. And it's not at all unreasonable that it could take four years for those appeals to wend their way up and down the courts. Enough time for 2028 to roll around, and offer anew a chance for a GOP President to pardon him.
