We talk about treason casually meaning things that are fundamentally bad for the country. But legally, it’s not the same thing as an attempt to permanently evade taxes.

Another interesting point is that essentially Trump pushing for tax immunity is an explicit admission that he did break the law repeatedly, and that means it’s also likely that he broke state laws repeatedly, and that would be a really exciting thing for state tax auditors to look into. Because he can’t get Federal immunity for that.
