Gorsuch made the obvious point that every single candidate in every single election makes decisions that can be construed to be both in his personal interest and his official capacity. And that to allow his political opponents to analyze and criminalize his motives selectively is ridiculous.

To which the twink, and SFP hero Michael Breeden, attorney for special counsel, responded that their motives as prosecutors here, are pure and above reproach. The government would NEVER use lawfare to consolidate power and destroy those who stand in the way, you see. Not the Democrats. No never.

So could an incumbent President running for re-election violate campaign finance law without worry during that election? Is that private or official?

The tectonic plate shift here is the DOJ wanting case by case authority to control the president rather than a simple blanket rule. Should the supremes endorse then ,, they will have created a new, more than equal branch of govt, that will last for the next hundred years. The DOJ , a bureaucracy will be the dominant branch. Elections no longer matter
