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.

    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??”
