The Constitution says that in cases of impeachment, "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." It does not except the president. But what impeachable offenses aren't covered by the new doctrine of immunity?
Crimes independent from his exercise of official powers. Prosecuting Clinton for perjury in the Jones Deposition would still be allowed. And *some* aspects of the J6 stuff are still not-yet-foreclosed-but-who-knows.
I had forgotten that the House did not impeach on the Jones perjury (205-229) but only on the grand jury perjury (228-206), but it's the same analysis. And the more I think about it ... this was perjury around his relations with a WH intern, and POTUS is never off the clock, so ... guh.
Well, not a complete match, actually. Because if they had impeached on the Jones stuff, that was pre-presidential conduct. As to Lewinsky, there's *some* official acts in there (the efforts to get her out of the WH and into the Pentagon) and some not. What a mess.
