    I keep seeing hypotheticals like this as if the Dems won’t pull the same old “we go high” BS they’ve been pulling my entire life. They’re all about positioning themselves as “the good guys” while letting Rs do just whatever. The realistic way it would play out is Dems pretend nothing is wrong, make a show of “peaceful transfer of power” after the election, and do the shocked pikachu when it’s bad. Do pay attention to modern history.

      Either a president is completely free to do whatever he wants or he is constrained by rules. This is not hypothetical.

        I meant the hypothetical in which Trump’s “immunity” defense is upheld, libs love to powerfantasy about what Biden could do with this sort of “immunity” but history tells us that when Dems can choose whether or not to be restrained, they choose restraint, even if it means the GOP gets to hurt everyone.
