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.

    Because he’s calling their bluff. Go ahead, feel free to take the shot. We all know Biden doesn’t have that set on him. The Dems lack the Allen Dulles energy that’ll put two in the head of the opposition’s front runner from the sixth floor of Dealey Plaza.

    If Biden was the kind of guy who would walk onto the debate stage with a shootgun that had “Executive Immunity” etched into it, maybe he wouldn’t. But that’s more of a Ted Cruz / Lauren Boebert move. Biden will do a TikTok where he calls Trump a hypocrite, right before his DOJ drops another ten indictments nobody thinks will ever see the inside of a courtroom.
