Prosecuted by Bill Barr, the guy who deliberately mischaracterized the Mueller Report (as you routinely do) and declined to prosecute Trump for bank and election fraud in the Stormy Daniels affair (as his fixer Michael Cohen was), even though he had ample evidence (cancelled checks to Stormy and recordings of Trump directing Cohen to break the law)?

Your Dear Leader recognizes full well that being President protected him from the law:
When Donald Trump formally declares his 2024 candidacy, he won’t just be running for another term in the White House. He’ll be running away from legal troubles, possible criminal charges, and even the specter of prison time. In recent months, Trump has made clear to associates that the legal protections of occupying the Oval Office are front-of-mind for him...

Trump has “spoken about how when you are the president of the United States, it is tough for politically motivated prosecutors to ‘get to you,” says one of the sources, who has discussed the issue with Trump this summer. “He says when [not if] he is president again, a new Republican administration will put a stop to the [Justice Department] investigation that he views as the Biden administration working to hit him with criminal charges — or even put him and his people in prison.”
