He probably could have been, but has some useful function left (like singing) As long as he's still employed at DOJ he can be interrogated by the OIG.
I think that's why they kept Peter S%^*ke and Lisa Page on as long as they did.

Just to make sure that Hillary’s (wikileaks?) emails are “off limits,” the Dems have been making presidential campaign noises “promising” not to make use of hacked material (re their false claim wikileaks was hacked, not leaked by Seth Rich). That pathetic strategy surfaced big and loud again today in a Fake News article bragging that Dems won’t use hacked material and noting with “concern” that POTUS has not made that promise as well.
NBC Title:
Trump campaign won’t commit to staying away from hacked material
Sub Title: The campaign’s refusal to rule out using hacked information is a contrast to a Democratic presidential field who have promised not to.

~~~Of course, POTUS never wrote any emails “joking” about pedophilia and cannibalism, unlike the Dems........
