There is a difference between arrest and conviction. Don't get me wrong. I detest the orange clown and all his fawning asslickers. But sounds like a legal argument made in defense of one's client. A dumb argument, but not a sanction able one.

“If anybody shoots someone, they get arrested. I don’t care if they’re the president of the United States or anybody else,” de Blasio said. “If you shoot someone, you should get arrested, and we would arrest him.”

Not if they have diplomatic immunity. An American citizen yes.

Wonder what leverage was used to get this lawyer to stand in court and make this claim.

Well...no shit! He should be disbarred!
