Trump can't be prosecuted according to SCOTUS, and I'm guessing he can just pardon anyone connected with any illegality. The biggest thing though is what can the court do to force compliance if the Executive refuses to comply and has no integrity or shame or regard for Constitutional law.

We may be talking about two different things here. The post was about prosecution. But the legal battles now are to reverse Executive Orders mostly, based on the fact that he has no Constitutional authority or Congressional laws passed to do any of it. They can't indict him but they can find what he is doing to be unconstitutional and illegal. Then we have the real crisis...what if he says screw you to the courts. It's then up to Congress to impeach him and remove him from office. Any bets on the likelihood of that?

Presidential immunity applies only to the president.
They can with civil matters
True. And I think proof is easier. It would have to come from a state or states. You know the DOJ will never cross Dear Leader.
ThatтАЩs not completely true there are different ways or they wouldnтАЩt bother.
