The idea that the President is totally immune from prosecution from anything he does in his official role as President is absurd. Taking money for a pardon or an ambassador position? Totally immune. Telling DOJ to go after his political enemies? Totally immune. Firing Cabinet officials for not following orders, even if those orders are illegal? Immune. And then they went even further and said that not only can the President not be prosecuted for "official acts" but the motives behind the acts cannot be questioned, and the acts cannot be used as evidence in investigations. Where in the Constitution does it say any of that? It's interesting how this court picks and chooses when originalism and textualism apply, and when it doesn't. If the Founders wanted the President to have any type of immunity, they would have said so, like they did with the speech and debate clause concerning members of Congress, but they didn't.

Questioning election results is one thing, but stating that the election was stolen is another thing. Inciting a mob by bogus claims and inviting them to D.C. was not an official act as president.

[@Steven-hk2wb]

I would go further to say ANYONE has the right, under free speech, to question an election. That person, or any person, also has the right to "request" someone to take an action, as long as there is no threats or illegal repercussions tied to the request. Nothing there is illegal. Even if a president, or anyone, "requests" someone to do an illegal act, that is not breaking the law. Only if that requested person breaks the law under your request, then one can be charged as an accessory.
