      And also making it so that you can’t actually use a ton of the gathered evidence:

      Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

      I think this is the part that’s going to fuck up the rest of Trump’s trials. Everything is going to suddenly be a private record.

      And note that they don’t give him his immunity now. They 100% will when it makes it back up to them, but they can do half the ruling now to blow off a little steam and then when they declare insurrection and espionage official acts people will already be resigned to it. Same reason they leaked the Roe ruling. They’re worried about riots and being lynched if they give people enough of a focal point to organize.
