    Sauer: If it’s structured as an official act, he would have to be impeached and convicted first.

    Alright you goddamn fascist enabler, explain how the fuck breaking the law either by stealing nuclear secrets or assassinating political opponents could be “structured as an official act.” Explain the exact case law and legal mechanisms that explicitly give the office of the President this authority. And then, while you’re exhaling the CO2 that some poor plant is gonna have to clean up, explain how private citizen Donald Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted for committing these acts while he wasn’t in office.

    You fucking jackass.
