Within any form of democracy, an absolute immunity cannot exist.
Because… wait for it… that’s a dictatorship…
@wildgrass saidDidn't apply to Nixon. Doesn't apply to Trump either.
Absolute immunity? Does that exist?
The president has no role to play in counting or tabulating ballots - or certifying results - in presidential elections. It seems like it should be obvious why the legal system does not allow this.
@mott-the-hoople saidI’ve explained this to yiu a hundred times. Just because something is a republic, doesn’t say anything about it being a democracy or not.

@wildgrass saidYup. Doesn't change the fact that he had no absolute immunity. His recorded conversations regarding a criminal conspiracy were released, despite his claim to executive privilege and attempt to keep them secret.

Nixon resigned.
@moonbus saidRight. But the assertion of absolute immunity did not apply to Nixon.
