It was a big week in the Trump legal world. There was the decision on presidential immunity, spoiler alert - he doesn't have it. And then there were those Supreme Court oral arguments in the Colorado ballot case, where the justices seemed skeptical of an individual state being able to disqualify Trump from seeking office again. To cap off the week, President Biden was exonerated in a separate classified documents investigation, but the special prosecutor's report questioned the strength of Biden's memory.

Topics include:
- Immunity decision
- Supreme Court oral arguments
- How the immunity and Colorado cases intersect
- Is Biden's document situation similar to Trump's
- Predictions on future decisions and timeline
