Trump's argument that presidents are untouchable took a 'whacky' turn: ex-aide

Trump has reportedly strayed from any winnable (or even plausible) argument to find himself stuck in a strange place of his own doing.

Former President Donald Trump's former aide David Urban appearing on CNN took inventory of the odd tactic that the legal team, lead by Dean John Sauer, took to bring home their contention that POTUS possesses absolute immunity.

In a federal court in D.C., Sauer attempted to push this to avert an onslaught of legal cases charging Trump for conspiring to flip the 2020 presidential election in his favor and riling up his supporters to engage in a riot at the Capitol Building back on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump remains the frontrunner in his bid to become the 2024 GOP presidential nominee and has denied any wrongdoing.

Sauer tried to explain that the president could do anything from off his political rivals to sell pardons to people and be scot-free unless Congress decided to impeach and convict him first.

Urban was lost in the day's strategy.

He said, "I'm not a prosecutor, but as a recovering lawyer, I was thinking to myself, 'Stick to the official acts argument.'"

The argument that Trump on that deadly day in January was acting in his position to seek out a fraud-free election result, makes much more sense, he said.

Urban called it a "much tighter argument" and said it would have been far more effective.

"You have much more to argue there saying, 'Listen, he was investigating this election because it was part of his official duties as president to make sure there is (sic) free and fair elections and it is all part of this giant scope, as opposed to coming up with this construct which is clearly just whacky."'
