“They’re going to get on the bandwagon,” Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The “approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal.”
“They’re all going to raise it,” said Eric Segall, a law professor at Georgia State University. “Trump is going to argue that he and all his merry people were simply ensuring the integrity and fairness of federal elections, something they had an obligation to do, and therefore he has immunity.”
Segall said the laws protecting federal officials from state prosecution serve an important purpose. Consider, for instance, federal officials working to desegregate the South during the civil rights era being thrown in jail by state officials opposed to those efforts. But Segall stressed that he doesn’t believe the facts of Trump’s intervention will warrant immunity.
He saying that’s their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn’t favored Trump and similar cases so far.
Show your work here, because none of the actual lawyers I’ve seen weigh in on this have come to that conclusion.

Again. He didn’t say that. You are incorrect.
I didn’t say anything otherwise.
