Independent - Former president Donald Trump’s lawyer told a three-judge panel of the US Court Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that a president would be immune from prosecution unless impeached and convicted, even if he was accused of having ordered a rival’s murder by the US military. During arguments in a Washington, DC courtroom on Tuesday, Trump attorney D John Sauer told Judges Michelle Childs, Florence Pan and Karen Henderson that Mr Trump is immune from prosecution under the impeachment and double jeopardy clauses of the US Constitution, citing the Senate’s 2021 acquittal of the ex-president on charges that he incited the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

If presidents are immune Biden should order Trump executed for Treason. Trump is too stupid to understand what he is asking for and that his lawyers go along ought to be reason to disbar them. Giving legal advice and making a case that should end up with their client be executed shows how only loonies work for Trump
I think the prosecutors in the federal case against Trump also made that same point in his briefs. The only way the Supremes rule for Trump is if they want him dead.
