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.

    Who said mutually exclusive? Order of operations. You don’t get to be idealistic tomorrow, if we die today. But stay home in December. Prove your point. And whine about how we go high (which I agree is the worst thing we do) but then stand by and elect Trump. Sick logic big dog.

      I don’t have a vote in your elections anyways, plus aren’t they in November?

      And it’s sad to see the one party that seemed to have promise devolve into “vote for us because we aren’t the evil other guys!” (while doing similar evil shit foreignly).

        More reason to please not encourage people to stay home and elect the dictator that will inevitably fuck your country harder than our current iron fist regime.

        Thanks. I agree. It sucks. I think the latest Marc Maron special summed it up well about going from our progressive trajectory to this… “I don’t get it… we had Obama… I did my part. I went to yoga. I brought my own bag to whole foods… but here we are! How’d we get here??”
