However Chump wasn't president when this catch & kill activity happened. He was a private citizen, so why should he get "presidential immunity"? So far I've heard no good reasons why he should.

If he gets "presidential immunity" for these charges, then every American criminal can plead the same thing. "Your honor I plan to run for president next year, and I might win. Therefore I deserve immunity now."
