    Problem is, itā€™s up to the courts to decide what is and isnā€™t ā€œofficial us businessā€. As of now, everything Trump does will be ā€œofficialā€, and nothing Biden does would be ā€œofficialā€.

    Doesnā€™t matter what is fair and even cause Republicans donā€™t play by that game.

        The Supreme Court isnā€™t really interested in arguments, it seems. Theyā€™re starting at conclusions and working backwards. In a sane world, youā€™re probably right with the logic. But in a sane world we wouldnā€™t have made it to this point to begin with.

        Itā€™s also hard to argue that any ā€œofficialā€ act a president does is immune from prosecution. There is absolutely no way to twist the Constitutionā€™s words to have that meaning. But they did it anyway.
