Do Federal judges have immunity from prosecution when they carry out their duties? I am not talking about committing criminal acts. What Trump is accused of was not a crime when he did it what he did that they are now trying to fashion into a crime.

Nixon is different. He willingly and wilfully engaged in a cover-up.

According to Mike Davis on War Room now, they do have immunity. At least that’s how I understand him.

The reason Nixon was different is that he was not indicted. He was pardoned before any charges were made so the issue of Presidental Immunity was not to addressed.

Federal judges have no immunity for crimes, but it is extremely rare that they get prosecuted for anything. When they get in trouble, it is usually for something egregious like bribery. Yet, they have civil immunity. So, a judge could take a bribe, but be immune from civil liability for damages caused. However, if convicted of that crime, the judge could be ordered to make restitution. Judges usually don't find serious fault with other judges, even when they do outrageous things.
