Like this: Presidents cannot be indicted based on conduct for which they are immune from prosecution. On remand, the District Court must carefully analyze the indictment’s remaining allegations to determine whether they too involve conduct for which a President must be immune from prosecution. And the parties and the District Court must ensure that sufficient allegations support the indictment’s charges without such conduct. Testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing such conduct may not be admitted as evidence at trial.

Nixon called from the grave: he wants his tapes back.

Motion denied. The specific context of the tapes being released to Jaworski wasn't a criminal prosecution of Nixon, but instead of the "Watergate Seven" (H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell, Charles Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson). The issue involved in U.S. v. Nixon was executive privilege (is the evidence protected from disclosure?), not whether Nixon was indictable or whether the evidence would have been admissible in a prosecution against him.

"Motion denied..."

True, unless we are talking about The SCOTUS...

In that case you just need to take Neil Gorsuch, Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas on a luxury fishing vacation
and/or buy their parents home for well-above market value and they will happily decide any way you like.

Show some initiative people!

Nixon wasn't under threat of conviction by the regular judicial system. He was forced out by the legislative system under Constitutional articles, and then left alone with his shame and disgrace.

Yes, but they must make sure the gift comes after the gov't official 'does the deed.' That will realllly motivate the judge to 'get 'er done.'

First the judge accomplishes the quo, then gets the quid.
