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.

        Wow what a website. I love how much they talk about the 180 day playbook but give absolutely zero mention to anything that is in it. I wonder why…

      People just think Trump is a jokester.

      I think it’s the dangerous side-effect of him being such a fake reality TV personality. He can say over the top insane things and people are already trained to not take him too seriously.

        It’s part of the propaganda. Just look at all the right wing nuts around the world. They all follow the same guidbook

      Sadly, conservatives are either too stupid to even understand, or it’s EXACTLY what they want.

      There is no in between.
