'The President is not above the law. But under our system of separated powers, the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts.' This seems from my non legal trained mind, perplexing if not contradictory.
'Because the President cannot be prosecuted for conduct within his exclusive constitutional authority, Trump is absolutely immune from prosecution for the alleged conduct involving his discussions with Justice Department officials.' So a President has free rein to coordinate any illegal activity via the Justice department with out impunity?
