Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts signaled concern about relying merely on the "good faith" of the prosecutors to prevent abusive prosecutions against presidents if the Supreme Court rejects presidential immunity.
"Now you know," Roberts told Dreeben, "how easy it is in many cases for a prosecutor to get a grand jury to bring an indictment. And reliance on the good faith of the prosecutor may not be enough in some cases

JUST IN: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson changed her tune, and said she now worries about future President’s being prosecuted. She asked the prosecutor if people at the Justice Department are concerned with this as well.
“Absolutely,” he responded. “That is a structural argument built into the constitution itself.” She then went on to say future President’s shouldn’t be burdened by the fear of prosecution for their actions.
No **** Sherlock…
“Well, this is encouraging.”
Coming from Roberts, I agree. Sounds like he understands the lawfare against President Trump that the Democrats are waging.
She got a call…
They’re just trying to figure out a formula where they can still convict PDJT but sheild obama, characterizing Trump’s objecting to the 2020 steal was for “personal” benefit and obama’s murder of an american “official”.
Watch.
Sad to think we’ve stooped so low as to the Supreme Court having to weigh in on what any 10 year old can see is obvious political persecution.
As our founders said, our constitution only works so long as we have a moral society.
Incidental “benefit” doesn’t make it personal; the two are inevitably intertwined when it comes to election results. But some will try to thread that needle

Take away Trump’s immunity and everyone’s goings

Is never enough in most cases.
Meltdown tonight on MSNBC. Can’t wait.
I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard that. I wanted a Justice to ask him if that meant that a President who ignored immigration laws and let 10 million foreigners illegally enter the United States can be prosecuted after he leaves office?

If Trump becomes president the first thing must do is fire every DOJ attorney that he can and bring in his own team.
I was not excited to hear the questions ACB was asking Sauer.
I don’t have a lot of faith in her anymore.
Alito concerned me as well.
Yep, they will abuse it alright. The lawyer said oh no, it's hardly been used, just on Nixon and Trump (two Republicans)
I didn’t hear ACB’s questions but have no doubt she continues to be a weak sister.
