Trump is being defended in the “legitimate” media in some nonsensical ways. Here are a couple I’ve heard. There are many more.
1) Trump’s crimes aren’t really crimes.. For conservatives the only real crimes are street crimes. Crimes are things black people mostly do in cities. If a white person does something that appears to be a crime, they probably just didn’t understand the law.
2) “The President” cannot commit crimes by virtue of the fact that he is President.
This only applies to Republican presidents of course because they are the real Presidents. Also this immunity from prosecution extend to crimes committed by Republican Presidents that happened prior to becoming President (as in the Stormy Daniels case) because otherwise it would be “political” or something.
UPDATE: Just saw this. Graham is, I guess, endorsing the veracity of this post (?)
