    Though Trump does concede that he could be prosecuted if he were first impeached and convicted.

    But when he was impeached the first time (withholding aid, obstructing congress, ignoring subpoenas, attempting to bribe zelensky to announce an investigation into Biden), they voted not to convict with specific intention that he should be tried before a jury…

    So congress openly refuses to convict, but Trump says he’s immune from criminal conviction unless congress convicts.

    Sounds like this immunity is a fast track to dictatorship.
