     @sj_zero remember, immunity doesn't cover illegal actions taken in office.

     And it's also true that the same sovereign immunity that protects Trump protects the head of the DHS. The government won't do anything to the people who did bad in office.

     @pepsi_man @sj_zero the united states government can actually do things. The simple question is can it be made to do something that helps you. Strong bet for "no" but if you have a shot at it, seems dumb not to try.

     @sj_zero no, I mean quite literally. Immunity only covers actions defined. Even for a president it has to be official acts, they can't just go shoot someone on Pennsylvania Ave.
     
     Even for federal executive officials it has been things within the scope of their duties - but the thing to pay attention to is that when they reduced non-constitutionally defined acts to presumptive immunity, that will have to apply to any executive officials below the president.

     Of course it does. That's the only reason to have immunity. There's no need for legal immunity from something that isn't illegal.
     
     Now, if you're talking about more limited qualified immunity lower officials have, that's a different question.
