Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.

The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.

    In the real world people’s reputation are part of how the community views their interactions.

    The same is needed in online communities otherwise bad actors creep in and shift the discussion for ulterior purposes.
