The Biden administration is full of professionals who SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLANNING FOR POSSIBLE OUTCOMES, INCLUDING THIS ONE, *FOR MONTHS*
It's completely ridiculous that they had nothing better to go with in this scenario than that statement.
Obviously,l they couldn't have predicted the exact wording used, & thus how wide-reaching or ambiguous the final statement could be (THAT will take some time to figure out), but they knew SCOTUS declaring presidential immunity was a likely outcome.
It's like they were asleep at the fucking wheel.
