Mueller won't indict Trump because he follows the rules and the Justice Department reaffirmed an internal rule in 2000 that they will never indict the President. It's not in the Constitution explicitly as he writes but it's never mentioned in his discussion but several commenters note the omission.
- kbenson 9y agoI think if you're at the point where you're willing to say a person will or will not do something because of some institutional rule when their job is also to uphold the law and the constitution, and there may indeed be conflicts in what their priorities are as they see them, you've become far too lost in the weeds. Mueller is a person, not a state machine. Let's not act like we can completely predict the future here, especially given the dearth of information we have compared to him.
