The United States Supreme Court has ruled that presidents have some immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. This is good news for Donald Trump to avoid accountability; however, our eyes and ears don’t lie.
We heard Mr. Trump ask Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” more votes for him so he could win the state. We heard and saw him direct an angry crowd in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021 that they had to “fight like hell,” which they did when they invaded our nation’s Capitol.
Immunity may allow Donald Trump to evade legal responsibility, but immunity is not innocence.
