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.

    A bold claim for the obnoxious rival of the president, but okay bet.

      Right. This is seriously the only thing I thought of.

      Like you are arguing it’s ok for the sitting president to murder his opponent.

      You are not the sitting president. You are the current opponent.

      Seems like a fucking weird taunt.
