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.

          Yes thats a very good standard explanation of how people work in online communities that one would give to an 8 year old, thank you for being pretentious, demeaning and infantilizing.

          Any way, if you had actually found any evidence in my post history indicating that I am not in fact credible, I am sure you would have mentioned it.

          The fact that you did not, and that you are ironically now changing the topic means that basically you got angry and insulted me and jumped to a conclusion about me for reasons you were objectively wrong about.

          Thats fine, as an autistic person I am /quite/ used to people who are wrong about things being angry about things they are wrong about.

          And you cannot even admit you were wrong, instead you are just lecturing me like a child.

          You are a manipulative and hypocritical person, just like the other fake leftists I mentioned, judging from your post history.

          Maybe do some soul searching and figure out why you leapt to a conclusion, were wrong about it, and are now further victimizing someone who has been extremely victimized, and figure out how to square that with your seemingly genuinely keen interest in oppressed and victimized people indirectly, non personally.
