Of course it's about Trump. That's really not that big of a catch and I did not try to veil the fact that his particular deeds made me ask that question. And yet you caught me!

But there's a theoretical question connected to it - can a president de facto become legally untouchable (at least under suitable political premises) by claiming some kind of universal executive privilege. That is not me constructing a ridiculous case, that seems exactly what Trump is actually trying to do.
