I listened to about 75% of the testimony. It sounded like the government was trying to make the distinction between the presidents private matters and official matters.
IDK which way this is headed.

I missed most but heard enough to hear their argument was Trump was acting as a private citizen (or "office seeker") during the acts in question and not as a government official (or "office holder")
That's the whole crux of their argument

LawTuber Good Lawgic watched the arguments and his immediate post-proceedings reaction was the 5 men will be for Trump... the 3 liberals will be against Trump... and ACB is a wild card that could go either way or just concur with either side

Well yeah that's basically the issue.
It is very likely that there will be an immunity from criminal prosecution for official Acts. The issue is that what Trump is accused of doing is almost certainly not an official act so if they give immunity for official acts he's still in the box

You can rest assured that the court is not going to rule the way we want.

That’s the entire issue, so yes, that is what the argument revolved around.
