      And also making it so that you can’t actually use a ton of the gathered evidence:

      Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

      I think this is the part that’s going to fuck up the rest of Trump’s trials. Everything is going to suddenly be a private record.
