The question of presidential immunity was settled law fifty years ago when Nixon tried to claim the same thing. Nixon tried to say that anything was legal, if the person doing it was the president. It wasn’t true then, and it isn’t true now. It’s especially important now to make this clear, because Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy by comparison.

@whowasthatmaskedman I think Trump is under the impression that the three judges he installed during his presidency will do his bidding simply because he appointed them. I was really concerned at first that that would actually be the case, but those three have shown themselves to be surprisingly independent at times. It’s actually been older judges, like Clarence Thomas, who seem to show much less integrity.
