#Trump attorney's argument to the appeals court is that if the president commits a crime, the only constitutional remedy is impeachment, and that he cannot be prosecuted criminally.
What if he escapes impeachment by assassinating enough representatives and senators opposed to his impeachment and/or conviction?
He becomes a dictator legally! No #criminal liability.
Has he put enough extremists on the courts who will buy this?
