That may be. There are differing opinions. The Justice Department lawyers, however, came to a different conclusion and their opinion is binding on all justice department employees, even if other lawyers disagree. Mueller is a justice department employee. Go ahead and try to change the department rules just to give Trump an HQ Special and let me know how that works out. We will be hearing from the IG on quite a few issues before long. He can easily add one more. In any case, I will say what I have said for months. Mueller is a pussy and is unable to make the big kill in court even if he made it to prosecution. He has not interest in adding another major court defeat to his other previous blunders. He will do what a pussy does, which is to find a way out of prosecuting him (might have accomplished that already) and then dump a pile of shit onto to Congress to try to get them to impeach him. Then he will try to kneecap Jared for failing to disclose some deutch bank loan or something, just to hurt a member of Trump's family and because he can't get Trump. Its the way these pussies roll when get down to the wire and they have used up all their scary stuff by kicking down doors etc.
This is the DOJ policy, instituted in 1973 and reaffirmed in 2000, that Mueller has informed Trump’s legal team he will be following per CNN’s reporting: https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/2000/10/31/op-olc-v024-p0222_0.pdf
Mueller was appointed as a Special Counsel by Rod Rosenstein in May 2017 pursuant to Rosenstein’s authority as Acting Attorney General. In the appointment order, Rosenstein states that Mueller is subject to the regulations governing special counsels. One of those regulations, 28 CFR §600.7 (a), specifies that the special counsel must “comply with the rules, regulations, procedures, practices and policies of the Department of Justice.” Therefore, Mueller must comply with the policies of the Justice Department – and the policy of the department according to the opinions issued in 1973 and 2000 is that a sitting president cannot be criminally indicted or prosecuted.” https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-...ueller-indicting-trump-wont-happen-even-if-he

But the judge ultimately concluded that Manafort's attorneys had not made a sufficient legal case to justify tossing out his indictment.
