    #2 is because, in the election interference case against Trump, one piece of evidence being used by the prosecution is that Trump instructed his Attorney General to send letters alleging that mass voter fraud was found to several state election officials, despite knowing that claim was false.

    SCOTUS essentially ruled that even if that action could be considered a crime, Trump is immune from punishment since it’s an “official act”.

      Which is patently absurd, to be absolutely clear. Every Justice that agreed to it is a fucking liar, and should be charged with violating their oaths and treason against the Republic and its people.

      Or executed by official act. Whatever.
