Muller got around it on May 14, the indictment is sealed until dims prosecute impachment...

Separate sources with links to the intelligence and justice communities have stated that a sealed indictment has been granted

While it is understood that the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution means that, until Mr. Trump is impeached, he cannot be prosecuted, sources say that the indictment is intended by the FBI and prosecutors in the Justice Department to form the basis of Mr. Trump’s impeachment.

The indictment is, perhaps uniquely, not intended or expected to be used for prosecution, sources say, because of the constitutional position of the President.

No, not only *can* he fire the FBI director, it is starkly obvious that any pending investigation does not terminate with his release. He is not the investigator nor does it rely on his presence. So there is no legal case for obstruction. Besides, did you miss the Sessions and Rosenstein recommendations? That was further CYA no doubt demanded from White House counsel before firing his ass.

Now, can a ham sandwich be made from these ingredients? Possibly since this *is* the District Of Criminals whose residents voted 95% for Shillary. But that is another can of worms since it is accepted that you cannot indict a President and even if you could, that would be squashed by DoJ since it is their job to protect the government from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and even the President and Congress.

Furthermore, in an impeachment case where the Chief Justice presides, my guess is that even a putz like Roberts would do whatever was in his power to short circuit the circus.

President Trump is certainly not acting like someone worried for his job, I just cannot figure out why so many of his supporters insist on gaslighting each other in handwringing group therapy sessions.
