      Sounds like he’s setting up a defense as it being an official presidential act and thus him being immune from prosecution based on the blanket immunity that SCOTUS recently gave to presidents. So he’ll admit to it, be immune, and let everyone else get prosecuted for knowingly following him.

        Not presidents, just him. They can, and will, rule any actions from a Democratic president to not be official acts.
