There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence.
/1
/2 Motive being irrelevant means that the President can do a thing for expressly lawless reasons so long as the thing is within the extremely broad range of official acts. So question isn’t “can the President conspire to defraud,” it’s “can the President call a state official about an election.”
I hope the Dems will use this new presidential power to the max now to get Biden reelected. If it's legal, then it's not cheating, it's completely fair play. These are the new rules of the election and not using them would be irresponsible.
