The judge unfortunately didn't say what the article is portraying.

He said that if Trump told someone to break the law and then they did it, that doesn't grant them immunity. He never ruled that Trump didn't instruct him to break the law.

Not true. He said Trump isn't responsible for others' actions.

Well, here's the actual quote. People can judge for themselves.

This purported defense, if recognized, would undermine the rule of law. If President Trump ordered or instructed a member of the Proud Boys [to] go off and murder somebody and someone went off and did that, it follows that … would immunize them from liability for that criminal act? In effect, isn't that what your argument is saying
