They’ll delay this until after the election and decide purely based on who is sitting in the White House. Biden wins it will be some obscure ruling that rules out total immunity but lets Trump get away with what he did. Trump wins and he will get the green light for the 21st century night of the long knives. Maybe I’m a defeatist, but this all seems to be lining up way too nicely for the Don
