How far does immunity go for official acts?

Can prosecutors be held liable for their official acts? That's my question. The question arises as to the assertions of the Trump prosecutors here. It's "We can do no wrong". Ok, but if Trump can do wrong, why can't YOU? He's saying that they wouldn't. Or in other words "Trust us".

Pardon me as I say "bullshit". Also, the bar for indictments from Grand Juries is a lot less than what it is for Petit Juries. You don't need to prove the case to get an indictment. Or even an unanimous decision to indict. Therefore, you can get a rabidly partisan place with Washington DC, and get an indictment without much trouble. But just try to get indictments against one of THEIRS. People in Washington DC vote for Democrats by over 90%. A prosecutor who wants to use DC as a venue has a very friendly venue. Likewise, a defense counsel has a very friendly venue to defend his client if the client is a Democrat.


Democrats! Be careful what you wish for. If the script flips, you could be compelled to fall on your own swords.
