This if from Joyce Vance - https://joycevance.substack.com/p/trump-must-be-tr... ::

If Trump does not face trial, future presidents with a criminal bent would be emboldened. They could reasonably believe they could get away with anything so long as they cloaked their behavior in some semblance of official conduct. Take your attorney general into the meeting where you plan to order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival, and you’ve got immunity. And you can pardon coconspirators on your last day in office.

Would this hypothetical survive legal challenges? Does involving the DOJ, via the AG, automatically shield all acts from prosecution per the Supreme Court decision?
