Mystal:

Here's a question: Why would any president ever be impeached now? If presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution for "high crimes," then what's the theory of a future impeachment? "The President is allowed to do this, but we don't like it"?

Like, remember when Mitch McConnell argued that they *didn't* have to convict Trump in the Senate because he remains legally accountable for all he did as President?

That, turns out, was a lie.
