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.

      I’m very good at talking with my mouth full, thank you.

      So do you support the agenda of Biden? Or maybe Trump? Maybe you are disappointed with the political landscape of your country and would like changes? Maybe I am giving you too much credit?

      Back to the thread at hand: it is kind of insane that it may actually be possible to legally assassinate your political rivals without any legal reprecussions while leading any country isn’t it? And now that the cats out of the bag, doesn’t that worry you in the least?
