The ex-Trump fixer says he was summarily jailed by Trump to silence him—and says SCOTUS declaring presidents immune would turn a second-term Trump into a dictator.
The problem with that thinking is the President is the Commander-in-Chief. He can tell the military to do anything, and anything he tells them to do is protected, because that power is EXPLICITLY written out in the Constitution, and thus is an official act.
Additionally, he could just hire literal hitmen and pardon them of any crimes. Official act. Fucking brownshirts are gonna be back.
You’re right, just start a new branch of the military and just call it the Freedom Squad, and their whole goal is assassinating anyone you deem the deep state.

The hiring hitmen would probably not be an official act though. That’s why you use the military and pardon them of any charges.
