Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

    This has never been how “official act” immunity has worked and people need to stop acting like it was

      People like you need to stop pretending this isn’t exactly how it works at the end of the day, once you include the power of presidential pardon.

        No, it’s still not.

        Immunity doesn’t grant you new powers that the office never had before. It just lets you abuse the ones it already had. Please learn how things work before making haughty dumbass statements like you just did.
