'This is a threat': Legal experts shred Trump's latest plea for full presidential immunity

Raw Story  

Donald Trump on Saturday posted seven pages of social media rants about how he is "entitled" to full presidential immunity from all criminal charges, causing legal experts and political onlookers to rage over the messages.

That stood out to former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, who said, "My initial reaction is that this is dumb because Joe Biden doesn't need presidential immunity, he hasn't committed any crimes. "Still hasn't occurred to Flatulence J. Trump that if Biden has presidential immunity he could arrest and detain without trial, Trump, his family, and every one of his supporters and never face consequences.
