...this can of worms by the only person that has explicit immunity as ordained by the SCOTUS. As evidenced by this literally trumped-up case, they will very much be in the crosshairs for future prosecution if they fail to rig future elections enough to insulate them.

That is at least part of why Bondi was so combative and would not answer questions so as not to technically lie to congress. She knows that doing this puts everyone without POTUS after their name in jeopardy.

But of course Democrats are trying to pass a law against politically motivated investigations and prosecutions (the NOPE Act,) so as usual, Democrats will tie one arm and one leg behind their backs and call it a rule that Republicans will gladly discard when they are back in power. This is not to say such a rule should not exist, but how about holding people to account before you cripple your own ability to do so either legally or rhetorically?
