Look-- prosecution and liability of people holding office is tricky.

We neither want a world where every politician faces investigation for misdeeds after leaving office, nor one where apparently the president can act with impunity with no clear limits at all.

We need a middle path, where prosecution is rare and exceptional but true misdeeds can be punished (and deterred).

I feel like we left behind where we were slightly over-investigating and made a massive overcorrection to the other side for blatantly political reasons.
