What if Trump wins in November and in February of next year, his new DOJ indicts Barry? I see that as a logical direction this could go.

What's the statute of limitations on murder?

Isn't the whole point here to prove that trump can't be prosecuted and thus disqualified from running for office, versus a witch hunt targeting all the previous presidents which is beside the point?

I think the broader point, is if it's ruled that POTUS has no immunity, then NO POTUS has immunity, meaning the system can be used as it's being used even if it's an R going after a D. Not advocating for partisan douchbaggery in the court, just stating a reality factoid that the current system is using partisan douchbaggery in the court.
As expected, the liberal justices, similar to the appellate court judges, floated absurd hypotheticals.
The justices then had the opportunity to grill Jack Smith’s prosecutor Michael Dreeben. Recall that Dreeben was one of Mueller’s goons in the special counsel’s ‘Trump-Russia’ inquisition.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito destroyed DOJ prosecutor Michael Dreeben with one question.
“If the president gets advice from the attorney general, that something is lawful, is that an absolute defense?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Yes, I think that it is,” Dreeben said.
“But won’t that give presidents incentive to be sure to pick an Attorney General who will reliably tell the president that it is lawful to do whatever the president wants to do if there’s any possible argument in favor of it?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“I think the Constitutional structure protects against that risk. The president nominates the attorney general and the Senate provides advice and consent,” Dreeben said.
