   On the topic of the recent supreme court decision, it should be noted that just because the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution doesn't immediately mean he wins the particular case he's in. They'll have to figure out whether his actions count as official or unofficial for the purpose of presidential immunity.
   
   Is holding a rally outside of a government building an official act? I think that's debatable, but I'd lean towards it not being such a thing.

     But any official act can't be evidence, and leading up to the rally there were undoubtedly a lot of official acts they they would like to use to establish elements of the crime.

     That's a good point as well.
