Yeah, they were JUST about to get the justice they so richly deserve.
But if they had ever gone to trial, the results would have been the same. Immunity for acts performed in office. So you're right, none of the people that Obama had droned or any of the women raped and murdered by illegals because Beijing Joey isn't enforcing the laws of the United States.
We have alternate processes called impeachment... which we have failed to use. so in essence the American people don't care enough for justice to be served.

My point, which wasn't very obvious, is that Republicans and Democrats shouldn't be ecstatic or upset about this. It's going to make it harder to prosecute a president for anything he does while in office that relates to his official duties, so there's less ability for one side to persecute an ex-president it doesn't like through the court system. As you rightly imply, that's better left to the impeachment process. And, I'd add, the ballot box.
At the same time this doesn't let Trump off the hook for any unofficial act. And for that matter, for any acts unrelated to the president's "conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority."
