@katherinepomps D.C. Circuit Rules Trump is Not Immune from Prosecution
The court ruled that Trump—and any other former president—can be prosecuted for alleged crimes they committed while in office.
@katherinepomps Under the D.C. appeals ruling in the Trump case, not only can Obama now be indicted for extra-judicial assassination of American citizens, but Biden can be impeached and even if not convicted, charged after he leaves office

@CynicalPublius I believe that Google interprets this from an authoritative perspective. The authority is the mainstream press.
The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.
