Smerconish had interesting take on Mueller
Perhaps may have been discussed here.
He identified a lawyer - don't remember his name - from the Nixon DOJ who stated that a sitting president cannot be criminally indicted. Later in 2000, I think, this guideline has been reinforced.
Thus, he said, this is not a law; this is not in the Constitution. This is a policy of the DOJ that Congress should take. Only Congress can pass a law like that.
Further, he added. Mueller did not have to follow this but, since Mueller decided, from the beginning, that he would abide by that rule, he should have declared this ahead of time, perhaps even recuse himself.
(I did not watch Maher yesterday but I remember him saying something like that when the report first came out and perhaps repeated it yesterday).
