re: Trump’s Boldest Argument Yet: Immunity From Prosecution for Assassinations

Even obtuse stated poisoning someone as president, not as a former president. I poked a whole in his theory and he pivoted.

I missed this because I had no intent to pivot and did not intense to make any concession.

We are talking about crimes committed alleged to have been committed by a sitting president and indicted as a former president.

Crimes commented outside of their term is a much shorter discussion. An attempt to indict, try, convict, and punish a sitting president for crimes during or before his presidency is a longer but very different discussion.

I have framed the specific discussion over and over and the clause being used to suggest he can't be tried by the judicial branch if not impeached and convicted by the legislative branch prior simply does not say that.

This is my poisoning analogy:

I think this is an interesting argument when combined with his former attorneys arguing he could not be impeached once leaving office. This one leave a situation where a president could poison his SOS a minute before his term needed and be immune from any prosecution.

I merely used that to point out a possible scenario if you link Trump's current argument with his former argument that you can't impeach a president once his term is over.
