OK, but functionally the difference between total immunity and a pre-trial "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard is with total immunity the president has to be impeached by congress before trial, whereas with the standard you suggest, one judge can go "yeah, you met the standard, he's guilty." And if you think my second scenario is absurd, this is literally what happened in his New York fraud case.
