20. Well we are about to find out if that immunity extends to ex-officials as well
Even if that is the case and Administration appointees are immune from prosecution, that supposedly ends after they leave their position. Bush* is saying it carries over forever. Harriet Meyers and Taylor have been subpoened and Bush* is saying they don't have to acknowledge them. That would mean that even after Impeachment Administration officials would still retain their immunity. It will be interesting to see how the Extreme Court deals with that issue. It would make Impeachment irrelevent..
