        Yup. I’m curious what “official capacity” means here. Does that mean anything goes if he says the magic words “official capacity”? Or is it more complicated than that

          It’s slightly more complicated than that. You have to ask “are they a Republican or a Democrat?”. If the answer is Republican, it’s probably an official act. If the answer is Democrat, it is not an official act. If the answer is “It’s Donald Trump”, then they follow up with the question “how high?”.

          Wow, the law is so complicated, I tell you what. Thank goodness we have highly qualified, politically neutral judges to interpret it for us.

          It’s carte blanche.

          A president could start a national drug cartel and it would be legal
