Yes, but until a week ago, if Presidents used that control to contrive malicious prosecutions, once they became a private citizen they faced risk of prosecution for that crime.
Now they face no such risk, are absolutely and explicitly immunized for whatever they do in directing their DOJ
This decision has *legalized* malicious prosecution for everyone else, ostensibly in order to remedy the possibility of malicious prosecution of a President.
