No, Trump was a candidate, not President at the time of most (all?) of those crimes. They also yeah probably can't be considered official acts even by _this_ Court.



That can't be concluded yet. It will most likely be decided again by SCOTUS - but by then, Trump may well have assumed office and pardoned himself and anyone else involved.


Even this court would have a hard time concluding that acts taken while running for President are official acts.

But practically they've made the President a dictator, so yeah who's going to stop him if he wins.
