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.

    I believe nearly zero of the words you have written and once I’m done checking your post history, I’m pretty sure I’ll be justified in my judgment.

      Hrm, ok then. Glad youre just admitting you are jumping to conclusions without actually knowing what you are talking about.

      Theres nothing quite like having the events of my life be summarily rejected as unbelievable because someone basically gets bad vibes and needs to do a full diagnostic vibe check.

        In the real world people’s reputation are part of how the community views their interactions.

        The same is needed in online communities otherwise bad actors creep in and shift the discussion for ulterior purposes.

        Like you for example.

        Post histories give you that sense of reputation, because a binary karma count is a basically worthless gauge of a person’s ability and tendency to meaningfully contribute.
