And since the "charges" were related to a STATE PERSECUTION, it required a SCOTUS RULING of immunity on a FEDERAL LEVEL.
You really are ONE **** PIECE OF **** IDIOT of the 1000th degree.
Trump was given NO "added" immunity that didn't ALREADY EXIST under the NIXON ruling. They only determined that the same IMMUNITY afforded Nixon applied equally to CRIMINAL CASES FOR IMMUNITY FOR OFFICIAL LEGAL ACTS AS PRESIDENT.
As a NOTE IN THE RULING, any actual CRIMES COMMITTED by President while in office are not OFFICIAL ACTS, but CRIMES. MURDER is not an official act, but a CRIME. CORRUPTION is not an official act, but a CRIME and both would be held accountable in a COURT OF LAW without any immunity to prosecution since NEITHER are permitted acts under the Constitution.
The SCOTUS did NOT rule on the merit of the NY State case which precluded the filing and left THAT to the NY State courts to determine.
You really need to SHUT THE **** UP and GO BACK INTO THAT SLIMEY HOLE YOU CRAWLED OUT OF, ****!!
Back then, according to Nixon expert Ken Hughes of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs, there was no question in the White House, Congress or the Supreme Court that a former president could be prosecuted for crimes committed when he wielded the powers of the presidency. In fact, President Gerald R. Ford conceded as much when he pardoned his former boss.But what if the new Supreme Court standard had been in place in 1974? Would the recent Trump v. United States ruling declaring that a president enjoys “absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts within the scope of his exclusive authority” and “at least a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for a president’s acts within the outer perimeter of his official responsibility” have changed history?
