Ex-prosecutor slams Trump lawyers’ 'silly' Biden argument: 'insulting to the practice of law'

Former federal prosecutor and legal analyst Elliot Williams Tuesday blasted ex-President Donald Trump's attorneys' suggestion that if all US presidents do not have total immunity, then President Joe Biden should face charges over immigration policy.

Speaking to Williams during the latest episode of CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper, guest host Pamela Brown pointed out, "Donald Trump's attorneys, for their part, are trying to make the argument that, 'Look, if the court says that the presidents don't have total immunity, then President Biden, could be prosecuted in a Texas courtroom for 'mismanaging the border.' Is that something that could really happen?"

The legal analyst replied, "It's almost insulting to the practice of law to have to take arguments like that seriously. And I mean it, because there is simply no credible basis to an argument like that. And I would direct the former president's attorneys to look in the federal criminal code and identify a crime that you could actually hold Joe Biden accountable for, if it's a question of the border. Now, you might have policy differences with the current president — and that's fine — that's why you have elections. But there is simply nothing criminal about disagreeing with immigration policies, firearms, or anything else. It's just silly and that is simply not how the federal code works."
