Yes, grants of immunity regardless of their motivations - - - and frankly regardless of their validity - - - tend to end criminal prosecutions. It certainly happened that way for .Dershowitz. He was accused of engaging as a seventy plus year old in child sex trafficking, sort of a modern predatory evolution of Fagin in "Oliver Twist", stuff PornHub cannot even show., The story of how he pressured US District Attorney Alex Acosta to grant him full transactional immunity for any and all activities in connection with child sex trafficking needs to be filmed (not any graphic child sex scenes) so it reaches the general public,. It is a story of how money and influence determine favorable decision-making , and foreign agents add pressure, It is the story about how serous accusations of fundamental perversion never reach a courtroom. Despite his claims of legal acumen, Dershowitz got the immunity but it did not last because Dershowitz demanded that the immunity be secret yet he was unaware that that very secrecy violated the Federal Victims Rights Law. The children allegedly sexually serially penetrated in interstate locations were not informed of the grant of immunity to inter alia Dershowitz. So they waited, assuming the law was taking its course to criminally punish the sexual predators. Meanwhile the immunity stopped the FBI criminal investigation in its tracks. The only hero, the Profile in Courage, of this story is David Bois who found out incidentally years later about the secret immunity. A complaint to Appeals Court resulted in invalidation of the immunity. FBI director Wray was asked three weeks ago in a Congressional hearing by Senator John Kennedy about whether any Epstein related investigation is "ongoing". Wray refused to answer.
Governors, Congress, Judges are immune from prosecution for official acts. It is ludicrous to think that presidents should not be. Justice is supposed to be blind. The last few years have shown that partisan Justice is an affront to a free society.
What the radical left doesn't seem to understand or is unwilling to understand is that the SCOTUS presidential immunity ruling protects Biden or any other future or past president from the unjust, illegal and radical Lawfare Biden has been perpetrating against Trump. Short sightedness in order to take down Trump at any cost. What are they so afraid of? Trump is a self made billionaire who does NOT need Washington to line his pockets like the rest of the Washington political elite. Trump uncovers the deep corruption, that's the great fear: an honest politician.
What does Professor Dershowitz think about the impact, if any , on the criminal trial and verdict in New York, especialy with respect to the admissibility of evidence which might refer to official and private acts as defined by SCOTUS in its recent decision?

Thank you for the encouragement.

What impact if any will the decision by SCOTUS have on the verdict in the New York case presided over by J Merchan?
On your Alec Baldwin podcast, you mistated the fbi conclusion on gun. FBI said they could not get gun to fire without pulling trigger.
