She said there would no incentive for presidents to follow the law while in the White House if they could never face criminal prosecution.
"There are lots of people who have to make life and death decisions" and still face the risk of criminal prosecution, she said.
I think that we would have a really significant opposite problem if the president wasn’t chilled," she said.
