Most of the analysis of the Justices’ arguments on Thursday that I’ve read suggests that complete immunity is highly unlikely. To his point about the trial getting delayed and Trump getting elected, that’s a real possibility.
The rationale for this actually makes some sense. You wouldn’t want an incumbent to be able to remove an opponent by railroading them into a minor felony conviction. With the way Trump ran things, if all it took was a minor felony to make sure Biden was ineligible, he absolutely would have pressured the DOJ to find something.

He can still become president with a criminal conviction. He just can’t vote in the election. Isn’t our system swell?
What system is better bro? I mean, what country the size of the United States is doing it the “right way?” India? China?
Idk, not taking away voting rights of citizens after they did their time?
Come on, it’s not that hard to think about what could be made better.

This is what Putin conveniently does for any opposition.
