Trump admits his accusations will likely have no effect on Barack Obama because Obama has immunity.

So Trump will just continue with his lies for another 3 and half years.

'He Has Immunity': Donald Trump Disgraces Himself, Admits His Accusations Against Obama Are Meaningless In Remarks During Press Gaggle


Donald Trump gaggled with the press yesterday before his flight to Scotland. He acknowledged the Supreme Court ruling that grants presidential immunity, admitting that Barack Obama has "immunity" and that his accusations will likely have no effect on the former president. Why continue to peddle accusations against Obama that he knows will go nowhere? The answer is pretty obvious.

shithole constantly crosses that "red line". The red line will eventually bite real hard.

AND that his administration complied with the law. He should mention Trump had this investigated by the IG and Special Prosecutor Durham after the IG and the independent Republican controlled Senate found that Russia DID work to influence voters to Trump, but that there was no provable collision with the Trump campaign. The Mueller investigation indicted people and some were guilty. More might have been without Trump pardons.

What is insidious about Trump's claim of "helping Obama" with the immunity is the embedded assumption that Obama needed it. Not to mention, immunity ONLY extends to the President.

Immunity has nothing to do with it. Charges against trump are legitimate but he's protected from consequences because of SCROTUS.

He worries about that, because he knows just how bad it could get.
