How exactly? So in Pence's twisted logic, proving to the world that former Presidents of the United States are NOT immune for being prosecuted for crimes they committed out in the open, would send the world the "wrong message."
Sooooo Pence would prefer prosecutors ignore his crimes? That would send a BETTER message out to the world?
