But Trump’s lawyers should definitely let him do this!here's Matt Gaetz on Charlie Kirk's show scheming about ways House Republicans might be able to "immunize" President Trump to get him off the hook for the federal charges he faces pic.twitter.com/0qKjpLVSVb

(No, it doesn’t work. Witnesses can only be immunized for potential criminal charges arising from the immunized testimony. Even then charges can be brought so long as the testimony isn’t relied on (though that’s tough. Recall the dismissal of charges against Oliver North.) Trump is already facing charges. Anything he says can and will be used against him, etc. At this point only the Special Counsel can give Trump immunity, and why would he?)
(You know these guys realize Trump is going down, right? Because their attempts to exonerate grow more and more desperate.)
