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.

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.
