We've heard for 2 years there is an opinion, or tradition, or philosophy that a sitting POTUS can't be prosecuted.
Is it possible that the decision to pursue no further indictments is that PINO is actually on the hook for obstruction, and DoJ would not allow breaking with that general direction?
Then Barr can do a 4 page summary saying "no collusion" was proven, but that is only barely relevant.
Not doing a CT thing, here.
Just curiosity.

Yes, I believe no indictments were brought by Mueller due to the DOJ policy, which is not a law and therefore a flimsy shield.

But, these people are very tied to tradition.

I don't know who said it. I'm pretty sure it was someone in the know - one of the expert contributors or Ari.
