Trump's attorneys said President Biden's statement that his son had been "selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted" also applies to the president-elect.

Gee, who didn’t see that coming a million miles away.

    But, given that the supreme court decided that the president is a god-king emperor, the fact that he can’t legally do it no longer really matters.

    That’s what I was wondering about

      The answer, as I understand it, is basically “Who the fuck knows?”

      Every serious legal analyst seems to agree that the SC’s immunity decision is, uh… I think the technical term is “Total fucking lunacy.” It makes no sense, destroys a lot of existing legal precedent, and generally overturns many of the foundational principles of the US constitution. It’s batshit crazy, and the actual terms of the immunity and how it’s defined are astonishingly vague.

      What the president can or cannot do right now is more or less “???”

        The SC case can be summarized as “Can the president commit crimes?” “Probably. Tell us what crime it is and we will decide later”
