    Mhhh yes lying about WMDs in Iraq to bomb the entire country to rubble and steal their oil. That’s a lot worse than bribing a porn star

      I’m sure it goes without saying, but legal wrongs and moral wrongs are very different things, like in this case.

      The argument would be “I’m immune because it’s a presidential act” and not “I did the right thing.” Kind of like how cops get away with horrible shit because of qualified immunity.

      You know that’s not what he was tried for and convicted of. You’re just arguing in bad faith.
