He didn't need it, he was pardoned immediately by his successor. Bush was never even prosecuted for his war crimes. The tweet is correct that no other president has needed immunity, but it's not because they didn't do crime. It's because the system has always been rotten, and these crooks have always covered each other's backs even across party lines.
