Dreeben said that the first layer of structural protection is the expectation that the President will faithfully execute the laws of the land.

I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard that. I wanted a Justice to ask him if that meant that a President who ignored immigration laws and let 10 million foreigners illegally enter the United States can be prosecuted after he leaves office?

Indeed. That is tremendously worse than anything Trump is accused of doing. Can Biden be prosecuted for that?

Bingo. To me they didn’t want to raise anything re potential lawsuits in that regard that would make their way to them.

That said just ask the hypothetical which Dreeben used continually re that subject.

e,g, if a president doesn’t protect the citizens of the US from things like rape, theft, taking over property, murder shouldn’t they be prosecuted.

That was a real jaw dropper

The DOJ legal beagles were twisting themselves in to pretzels to not go down paths that would lead to Biden prosecution down the road, but they were not successful
