My first read: If a president commits crimes unrelated to him being the most powerful person in the world, he can be prosecuted. But if explicitly uses his powers to commit crimes, he is at least presumptively, and probably absolutely immune from prosecution. I mean, holy shit.

Biden should sit down with a news outlet and tell the reporter that he can order she be assassinated, and all that's stopping him is his own good will.

"And don't forget to give me the money after so it's a gratuity, not a bribe. That makes everything legal."

Yep, holy 💩!

If that upsets you wait until you find out about the legal bribery that already exists
