But yeah this is absolutely nuts.  If I'm reading this correctly the DOJ is now saying anything the POTUS does or says provides immunity to him.  Period.

AND, as you say, we get to pay for his defense fees.

But don't you worry, we'll soon be told why this is legal and correct and Obama's fault. 

It's an interesting precedent. They've argued that policy proposals he discusses on twitter cannot be viewed as official presidential statements but if he discusses a private, personal matter then it's in the official capacity of president.
