No matter what they do, they can't make Trump's actions fall within the "outer perimeter" of his immunity. They keep trying, but inciting an insurrection is not privileged.

This case overlaps with the Georgia case. Calling up Brad and threatening to hold him criminally accountable for not "finding" enough extra votes for Trump to win is not part of Trump's job description. That's campaigning, and it is not within the "outer perimeter" of his duties.

It is interesting how they just want to argue that whatever criminal activities a President does, that person is immune from prosecution because of the office. I wonder who told Trump that.

This is just more magical thinking by Trump et al. I wonder why they didn't use a Motion To Strike instead of a Motion To Dismiss. Guess it's all or nothing.
