"In the hearing that reviewed a motion from Trump's team to toss his election interference charges, Sauer argued that presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if they have already been tried and convicted by the Senate.
"'He would have to be impeached and convicted,' Sauer replied.
REMEMBER, if the court rules in Trump's favor, this would also pertain
to any other current and future President, like Joe Biden. What forced them into this absurd argument is the need to be able to frame all activities that a President might engage in as "official duties" and therefore immune from prosecution without a successful impeachment proceeding.

It's not an official duty to assassinate your rival.... Unless you're a Clinto
But what was a reasonable argument was what the Trump Team put forward is th
every President, for the most part, will face litigation going forward... Eg.
Obama killing Americans in Libya during a drone strike... Or an other example
.. South Texas residents sue Biden for not executing the laws on the books...
Your TDS is strong....
If they did things that outside of "official duties" are ILLEGAL, they *should* face litigation.
That seems to be something that you, and Trump's legal team, are completely missing.
Trump did indeed threaten not to leave office. What do you think he was telling the crowd, and his twitter followers, when he was telling them that Pence could deliver them the election so he could stay in offce?
