Puffin: I do think there’s something in this if the case is about the political prisoner’s innocence (rather than the guilt of any President)

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

I think this actually isn't right--it's inadmissible in a criminal prosecution of the former president, not in any case or proceeding.
