Immunity Syndrome

Source: The Dispatch
by Kevin D Williamson

“More or less open corruption in the White House. Pardons for sale. Wanton murder on the high seas. Using the Justice Department as a political hit squad. Chief Justice John Roberts’[s] creation, ex nihilo, of presidential immunity from criminal prosecution looks dumber every day. … While the DOJ has long held a prudential policy of not indicting presidents, there is no legitimate constitutional principle holding that the president or any other elected official is constitutionally immune from prosecution for crimes committed while in office and under color of official deeds. The separation of powers does not require one: We do not, for example, insist that corrupt senators cannot be arrested by the FBI or prosecuted by the DOJ because FBI agents and DOJ lawyers are part of the executive branch.” (11/05/25)
