As he considers immunity in a case centered on a president's refusal to accept his electoral defeat, Justice Samuel Alito suggested that not giving presidents immunity will actually discourage peaceful transfers of power.
Alito pressed Michael Dreeben, the attorney for the special counsel, on the idea that an outgoing president who looses a hotly-contested election will be disincentivized from leaving office peacefully because he will fear prosecution by the administration of his successor, a "bitter political opponent."

But we don't currently have immunity and this has literal never happened!
