Under this new standard, a president can go on a four-to-eight-year crime spree and then retire from public life, never to be held accountable.

    Agree but I feel like pointing that out is implying this somehow doesn’t make things worse which I feel like is missing the point. This removes the implicit threat of prosecution for anything the president does.

    Now no matter how much political will exists for the prosecution, the president is fully and unequivocally immune.
