POTUS has no official role in the 1/6 count. When a candidate pressures/threatens the President of the Senate (Pence), pressures and lobbies state legislatures & members of Congress, and oversees a fraudulent elector scheme, his acts are private. And plotting to appoint an AG in…
Donald Trump is not asking questions about limited immunity, or what he did in his personal or official capacity.

But he wants the Republican…
“The Supreme Court may be inclined to split hairs, but Donald Trump is not,” Deana El-Mallawany, the counsel for the bipartisan group Protect Democracy, told me after the hearing. “The arguments today made clear that Trump seeks absolute unchecked power. Trying to rein in an…
Trump is both trying to escape accountability with an "absolute immunity" argument at SCOTUS and countless other delay tactics he is deploying in various other courtrooms.

It is dishonest to conflate "something something we will tell you later" with facts and evidence that are now being presented in courtrooms across America against Trump. There isn't a "precedent to be turned against" because the situations are not comparable.
