. It sounded like the government was trying to make the distinction between the presidents private matters and official matters.
Well yeah that's basically the issue.
It is very likely that there will be an immunity from criminal prosecution for official Acts. The issue is that what Trump is accused of doing is almost certainly not an official act so if they give immunity for official acts he's still in the box

They are of course not going to decide Trump was operating in an official capacity.

They will try and make that case next. They will fail because it was obviously an official act.

Everything he does while he is POTUS is an official act.

During the argument the justices were asking the DOJ who makes the determination between private and official acts? The DOJ responded that the president needs to seek legal counsel from the DOJ to make that determination. I got the impression that the justices did not buy that argument. But if they do, why does only the DOJ become the official arbiter to decide private and official acts? What about any other legal counsel? Because President Trump sought legal counsel from John Eastman and a couple of other WH lawyers to challenge aspects of the 2020 election.
