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.
Yeah, but enough Democrats would actually hold him accountable to actually impeach him. The same can’t be said of Trumps coterie.
As has been pointed out, he would have to immediately resign. Which would eliminate the impeachment option, because you can’t impeach someone who isn’t holding office.
He could do it one or two days before ending his term hahaha
Obama literally ordered the assassination of Osama Bin Ladin and no one is trying to persecute him for murder, so I think Trump is 100% correct in his thought process.
Thanks for pointing out to us that you’re unable to differentiate the distinctions between mass murdering terrorists and political rivals.
Or for that matter, the difference between persecution and prosecution.
Political rivals are terrorists if you’re radical enough
Good point. I guess all of Biden’s bases are covered, should Trump’s arguments hold water with the courts.
Pot calling the kettle black lmao
All presidents are terrorist mass murderers it is part of the job.

Seems to me that’s a distinction without a difference in their minds
