It sounds like an argument about ineffective counsel in essence. If you go shoppi g for an attorney that tells you its ok to murder your b-word ex-wive, is that an absolute defense against the murder charge? No, and also the attorney is disincentivised from giving advice like that because it gets him disbarred and he loses his job and income forever.

Also, dodnt Trump pay the hooker before he was elected? Immunity seems completely irrelevant to the case because it doesn't concern his actions as POTUS but as a private citizen...
