It seems squirmy for those three. If they rule that TSF has no immunity, even in his 'official capacity' then they could seem to undermine their own legitimacy. Because of this I would think they would grant immunity from charges for official acts and not unofficial ones.
The problem is that TSF would try to claim everything was done under the protection of office. Of course, that wouldn't work, but it would prolong the nightmare of him in our face all the bloody time as he drags his garbage out like toilet paper stuck to his shoe.
