Not to worry.

This time next year, the murders will be “Trump’s fault”

Pres Trump and AG Sessions should be watching Rahm Emanuel very closely.....

Emanuel may be in violation,and subject to prosecution, under several other laws.

If his actions affect interstate commerce and trade, he could be prosecuted under the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act 18 U.S. Code § 1951, passed in 1946, is a federal law that prohibits robbery or extortion, or attempted robbery or extortion, that affects interstate or foreign commerce. The Act originally was designed to target racketeering in labor-management disputes that were common at the time.

More recently the Hobbs Act has been used to prosecute and jail politicians involved in activities that impair an area's economic viability.
