Law professors, attorneys and legal analysts have roundly dismissed Donald Trump’s claim to have “absolute immunity” from prosecution for any acts he committed when president.
…
Harvard University constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell it was “a ridiculous argument.”
He said, “It would be absolutely astonishing if any panel of judges, let alone a panel as qualified and smart as this one, were to give the Trump argument the time of day.”
He added, “It’s not an argument that any real lawyer would have come up with” and “makes no sense.”
Doron Kalir, a law professor Cleveland State University, told Business Insider that “if a student made the same argument, they would get anywhere between a C or a D for misunderstanding what the Constitution has said.”
