Trump filed papers with the Supreme Court claiming he is immune from prosecution because he was President. If the court finds that he is immune, wouldn't that immunity pass to Biden and every other President?
There is a huge "hole" in your post. The President does have what is called Executive Privilege. Independent of that concept, there is what is call Attorney Client privilege. These are historic norms. The Biden administration has purposely withdrawn, in terms of Trump, both Executive Privilege and the Attorney Client privilege. These are repulsive unconstitutional actions by the Biden administration. So why do you endlessly beat the drum that Trump is somehow abusing the judicial system when it is the Biden administration using the judicial system inappropriately to persecute Trump?Trump filed papers with the Supreme Court claiming he is immune from prosecution because he was President.

Priviledge is not immunity. But if the court finds for Trump, then Biden can do all things you described, and there is no accountability. It's a dilema that has horns.There is a huge "hole" in your post. The President does have what is called Executive Privilege.

It been historically recognized as a "privilege" of the President.Priviledge is not immunity.
Surprising that you have no concern that Biden is using abusive tactics that many not even be legal to cripple Trump. But you take the adversarial approach that Trump protecting himself is somehow wrong. Executive Privilege and Attorney Client privilege are well known legal constructs. Trump should not have to go to court, Biden is using the the power of the state to persecute Trump.Show me the law, or any ruling, or the part of the constitution that says a president is immune. There is none. That is why Trump is filing with the supreme court. If he wins, then Biden can do what ever he wants. Same for every new President. I am not talking about lawyer client priviledge. Trump claims he is immune because he was president. That is the only issue.
I ask again, show me any law, ruling or part of the Constitution that says any President is immune. It's about any President. I asked a specific question.Surprising that you have no concern that Biden is using abusive tactics that many not even be legal to cripple Trump.

You should be condemning Biden for unlawfully forcing Trump to go to court to defend himself.I ask again, show me any law, ruling or part of the Constitution that says any President is immune. It's about any President. I asked a specific question.
The immunity has been assumed since 1776. It is the Democrats, in their TDS that are trying to persecute a former President because they hate him and don't want him to run again because they know he can beat Biden.If Trump won immunity through the court system that would set precedent therfore every president after the ruling would qualify, no?
Should the President be immune from political prosecution and unfair trials? Maybe that is the real question that should be answered, since that is what this is really all about.Trump claims he is immune. Does the immunity only apply to Trump? You keep deflecting. Simple question: if the court grants immunity does that not also apply to any President, now and in the future? I am talking about this single issue. Just looking for a simple answer to a direct question.

Like everything else Trump related that will be tested by the Supreme Court.The immunity has been assumed since 1776.
You do realize that there is a group with big money behind them who are persecuting any lawyers who work for Trump? He's lucky to get any representation.One thing I find amusing is that trump has no one, or at least no one who's competent, coordinating his legal strategies.
