He wasn't the President when he committed these crimes, he was Candidate Trump a private citizen. The Immunity for "Official Acts" has no bearing on this case.

[ArizonaSquatch]

How is falsifying business records an official act for any person? Let alone a president?

[mikel.]

But he wasn’t president at the time he was running for office while paying Bill to keep her quiet not in office big difference

[madelynflores]

NOT SHOWING HIS INCOME TAXES LIKE OTHER NOMINEES FOR THE PRESIDENCY AND NOT PAYING INCOME TAXES FOR 10 YRS OR MORE STEALING GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND MANY MORE CRIMES, GET HIM OUTA HERE !!!

[fredintoronto]

RNC money has provided Trump with bottomless resources to delay justice.

[ImmuneToTrollHate]

So more of Trump not saying that he didn't do it, but claiming that it was ok for him to do it

[JesseWright]

How is a hush money payment an official act?

[Ejacks]

America is becoming a laughing stock how much more will they let trump get away with 🤦‍♀️

[AkPacerPilot]

Crimes committed before he took office… and the portions of the crimes committed during his time in office, had nothing to do with government business

[HagithaSkagmeyer]

Falsifying buisness records is not official duties.

[Daniel-pmpr]

Incredibly to see what one man can cause so much wasted money.

[robertgarcia]

Or stealing government documents after he was no longer a president 😂

[analystic]

Trump cannnot pass Security Clearance so how will he move to the White House?

[denniss]

Central question is, are paying off a porn star and conspiring to conceal those payments an official act of any US President??? Hmmm…no.

[dipperdog]

The big problem with that is that this case was about things that happened before he was the president, so it's clearly not presidential duties.

[Msltfoster]

So, Adultery and paying people he slept with not to tell is an official act? Epic reach!

[Zedja]

That's not how presidential immunity works. It's only for things that happen while being president. Not something that happens before or after.

[InvestStrategyWire]

Excuse me but how does immunity apply to anything before he was Pres?

[ThePauprinceaz]

Hush money happened before you were President.Sorry donny

[DB-gdus]

You have money and a good lawyer in America nothing will happen to you
