Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity
thehill.com

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.

And then about 4 days later, he /will be assassinated/, and then all the chuds will switch to 'We were joking about joking about it, moron!', just as we have watched essentially the vast majority of chuds essentially joke about Nazis so hard, for so long, that they simply became them.

I hate this idiots, for one they have no concept of humor or what being funny entails, for two, uh, they are Nazis.

My god, I hope nobody actually tries it. The worst part is that it's lose/lose. Fail, and Trump will ride the "someone tried to kill meeeee" train all the way back to the WH. Succeed, and congratulations, you've handed a cult the martyr they needed.
