2. I'm not sure that the legality transfers to others.

Let's say Trump murdered a political foe. TSF himself, not someone acting on his orders. And let's say somehow even this corrupt SC couldn't see that as "not an official act" and so considered TSF immune from justice for that action.

Now let's say TSF tells ME to murder that political foe - and I do it - would I be immune from justice because I was following orders from TSF? TSF's act in this case is only to order something to be done. He would be immune from justice for giving the order. But I am not TSF so I would not be immune, correct?

Waiting for the legal eagles here to set this straight one way or another.
