Not guilty:
With this new Presidential Immunity ruling, all Presidents are now above the law. This has now become THE most important issue, and will continue to BE the most important issue, until this ruling is either overturned by a different supreme court, or an amendment is passed to state definitively (again, but in modern language) that the President is NOT above the law.
They got what they wanted. They caught the car, but like a dog smashing it's head directly in a car that stopped short, they're going to regret the chase. Biden now enjoys full immunity, and if I thought Joe actually had it in him, I'd say they should be terrified that Biden might throw out the upcoming election results, have Trump executed, and declare himself President for life. He can now do ALL of those things without any legal consequences.
...In fact, I think Biden SHOULD throw out the upcoming election results if he loses, BECAUSE that would be a horrible violation of the will of the people. It would be a noble thing to do, to enrage the nation so much it guarantees a bipartisan effort to establish that the President is NOT above the law by whatever means necessary. Biden will then sign the bill with a smile, the very bill that will send him to prison.
The status quo has just been shredded to pieces. Solutions going forward will no longer be normal by-the-numbers efforts. We are living in wild times, and will require wild solutions. Any attempt for a "normal" solution is doomed to fail in the face of this. What doesn't kill us has made us stranger. Our lives, such as they have been, are over. The sooner we come to accept that, the better.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
