I am surprised Trump’s lawyer did not argue that if the president does not enjoy immunity from prosecution by a DA for his official acts as president, then the proper way to bring such a case was impeachment by the House of Representatives and trial by the Senate. After all, in impeaching former President Trump who was by then a private citizen as the Democrats did, this set a precedent that the House and Senate sure thought this was where such a case could be brought.
Over and above that even, they should have argued that not only was the impeachment process set forth in the constitution THE proper way to bring any charges against a former president for his official acts as president, but such charges were already brought against President Trump for the Jan 6 BS and he was acquitted by the Senate. Therefore bringing a case yet again in district court violates the 5th amendment provision against double jeopardy even if the SCOTUS held that the law courts rather than the impeachment process was the place to try this.....and if they hold thusly, aren’t they saying the 2nd impeachment the Democrats did was pure and utter BS?
If you listened to or read the testimony, you would know that he did argue that very point.
