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.
That’s a poor reason to excuse joking about killing someone but it’s so common now your excused I guess.
Oh for god’s sake, lighten up. People have told dark jokes for literally centuries.
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.
