    I think you got this mixed up, they want trump to not have immunity:

    In an amicus brief accepted by the Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia on Tuesday, the officials said siding with Trump would “encourage” future presidents to commit crimes and stage coups to remain in power.

      I think he was referring to the general republican base / extremist leaders of that base, not the specific Republicans mentioned in the article. This is by far not the most extreme example of cognitive dissonance I’ve seen from the former.

      This article exists because it’s unusual for a Republican to say anything like this. Ya know – “news”?
