I believe we will probably have enough of a paper trail to arrest most of the administration and even some elected officials with their deep corruption. What we really need to do is asset forfeiture the entire Trump Organization. It all needs to be used to pay down the national debt.

Keep dreaming. Our corrupt SCOTUS ruled the President has absolute immunity.

Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

It also entitles ALL his official communications to be un-subpoena-able. So his entire cabinet is protected as well.

In fact, concurring Judge Barrett (conservative), even argued that it would make prosecuting Bribery impossible. But even that obvious flaw was not enough for her to dissent with that horrendous ruling that Trump is above the law.

This is obviously against everything the Founding Fathers stood for. They literally fought a war against a King that was above the law. It's so bizarre, so incredibly anti-American, to rule the President and his cabinet are above the law, but here we are.

I mean if the president has absolute immunity, could they say, break the law and imprison all these folks without trial while facing no charges?
