People don’t get that it’s not an actual crime for him because he cannot be prosecuted as president.
People don't get that because it's simply not true, in multiple ways.
First, that is not law; that is an opinion written by the Office of Legal Counsel during the Nixon era that said a sitting president could not be prosecuted.
Even now, after the hideous 2024 Supreme Court decision that says all presidents have absolute criminal immunity for official acts, it says nothing about unofficial acts, nor criminal acts committed prior to or after a presidency, hence Todd Blanche's recent efforts to get blanket immunity for him and his organization for everything they may have done prior. Note the language:
The release does not stop at the IRS or the Treasury. It sweeps in every executive-branch component—DOJ, FBI, SEC, FinCEN, any agency—for any matter that could be characterized as “Lawfare” or “Weaponization.” The federal government, by contract, has agreed never to pursue Trump, his family, his trusts, or his businesses for anything that meets that definition, forever.
Why would any of that be necessary if nothing is actually a crime for a president?
Also, there is no law anywhere in the US that says "this is a crime unless it was undertaken by a president, in which case it's not." That is just asinine.
"Election interference" is not a crime because it's just a phrase. The crimes have specific names: electoral fraud, voter impersonation, voter fraud, vote buying, etc. and absolutely are crimes, no matter who does them.
People seem to have inconvenient thought amnesia.
Yes. You do. These may help:
