A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Looking through the Epstein files on the DOJ website, it is extremely clear that when DOJ admitted that it redacted information related to political figures and government officials that they meant MAGA Republicans. Names of Democrats and even anti-Trump Republicans are left in.
