Paul Waldman: So revealing that the Supreme Court decided that presidents are free to commit crimes on behalf of the president more likely to commit crimes than any other president ever.

Am I correct that it's only the President who is immune? Like, the crime isn't suddenly not a crime. It's still a crime but the President is the only one who can't be prosecuted. Or does "the Executive Branch" extend to anyone following an Executive order?

Just him, but I'm sure the court would find ways to bootstrap any of his accomplices into immunity as well.

It's not like we'd even necessarily know who told who to do what since all communications would be privileged anyway.

And one who is the leader of the cult a couple of them are in. Funny that way.
