Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.

The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.

    Oh man, I hope he thinks he can assassinate Biden and then claim since the election was faked he’s been president all along and then trot out this immunity crap. Course he couldn’t run for president again, then, so he’ll have to declare himself president for life, and all the republicans will cheer, cheer, cheer because they won democracy.
