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.
Then you don’t remember the Obama years very well.
Also, maybe if Trump’s lawyers didn’t say a president could assassinate people, I wouldn’t have joked about it.
That’s a poor reason to excuse joking about killing someone but it’s so common now your excused I guess.
A political party’s front-runner’s lawyers are discussing the legality of a sitting president killing dissenters on US soil.
This is a perfectly fucking valid reason to make that joke.
Get over yourself.
Oh for god’s sake, lighten up. People have told dark jokes for literally centuries.
