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.

“..characterizing Trump’s objecting to the 2020 steal was for “personal” benefit and obama’s murder of an american “official”.”
It was also Trump’s duty as President to make sure we had fair election.

Every official according to precedent has some "qualified immunity" for official acts from dog catcher on up, unless it's official wrongdoing like bribery or abuse of authority.
So why not the President?

And then prosecute the ones involved in his cases and the J6 protestors for abuse of authority, malicious prosecution, and conspiracy against civil rights.

future President’s shouldn’t be burdened by the fear of prosecution for their actions. The Clinton's were fully protected and still are.

weigh in on what any 10 year old can see is obvious political persecution. They don't see what is happening to the J6 political prisoners so why should they see this?

So why not the President? Well according the Nancy he wasn't really the President, so three is that.

If Trump becomes president the first thing must do is fire every DOJ attorney that he can and bring in his own team.Which is why the Uniparty will not allow him to win.
The lesson from 2020 is that you can cheat in broad daylight, and the court cases to challenge it will never see the light of day until maybe the final six months of what would have been the rightful winner's term. Meanwhile, the illegal 'winners' get sworn into office and appoint their people, like that idiot woman on SCOTUS who couldn't answer the simple question of what a woman is.
