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.

    Agreed. That’s why I voted to primary Pelosi out. Why I vote far left up and down the ballot. Why I’ve participated in and at times led activism for almost 30 years. But we aren’t having that kind of presidential election this year. We’re fighting a backslide unfortunately. And sadly we’re all finding the country is further right than we thought. We had Obama. They didn’t have a north star yet.
