    Do you mean theoretically according to Trump or theoretically according to real life?

    US law keeps being interpreted in more and more absurd ways it seems!

      According to the arguments currently being made to protect Trump from prosecution. The premise of the question was “If presidential immunity is absolute.”

        Ok, so this is according to “Trump side”.

        They argue many things, but very few of them really hold up to real life, so I personally don’t put too much weight on them any more. I trust that the legal system will shoot those arguments down if not fast, then at least efficiently. IMO it is basically just is a method of extending these cases for last as long as possible, and I am surprised that nobody can do anything against that!

          True, but the original question was a hypothetical about the absurd consequences of ruling in their favor.
