First off, you’re completely misreading the case based on the analysis I’ve read, though I’ve admittedly not read the case yet. Presidents can’t just unilaterally deem all actions official. The case has been remanded to build the record and make those determinations.
Second, the “find votes” example is a perfect example why presidents need limited immunity. It’s clear to any objective observer, in context, Trump was talking about fraud in Georgia, how there were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots, but they only need to find 11,000 of them to prove the election was impacted. Anyone with a brain knows what he was talking about in context. You want him criminally prosecuted by his political opponents. Whether discussing protecting the integrity of our elections is within the scope of a president’s official duties is TBD.
President Donald Trump: OK, whatever. It’s a disaster. It’s a disaster. Look, here’s the problem. We can go through signature verification and we’ll find hundreds of thousands of signatures if you let us do it. And the only way you can do it, as you know, is to go to the past. But you didn’t do that in Cobb County. You just looked at one page compared to another. The only way you can do a signature verification is go from the one that signed it in on November whatever, recently, and compare it to two years ago, four years ago, six years ago, you know, or even one. And you’ll find that you have many different signatures.
But in, in Fulton, where they dumped ballots, you will find that you have many that aren’t even signed, and you have many that are forgeries. OK? You know that. You know that. You have no doubt about that. And you will find you will be at eleven thousand seven seventy nine within minutes, because Fulton County is totally corrupt and so is she, totally corrupt. And they’re going around playing you and laughing at you behind your back, Brad, whether you know it or not, they’re laughing at you and you’ve taken a state that’s a Republican state and you’ve made it almost impossible for a Republican to win because of cheating, because they cheated like nobody’s ever cheated before.
