Of course they didn’t. In fact, you can’t indict a sitting president. This is all about their cover up and getting dirt on Trump so wound him or impeach him.

So why did Session’s refuse himself again? Using your logic he WANTS the charges to stick on Trump if they find some. So he recused himself. Otherwise don’t recuse and he could lead the investigation into Russian meddling and put the special prosecutor on a leash.

Keep in mind Mueller is only charged to look at Russian meddling. NOT crimes by the FBI and DOJ during the election. So I ask you what do we get by Session’s recusal?

As JoSixChip pointed out, an impeachment is a political process, not a legal proceeding. So there would have been no need to preserve the integrity of a criminal prosecution if that was the real objective here.

You're probably not doing this deliberately, but you're overlooking a huge distinction between Sessions' recusal and Mueller's responsibilities. Don't confuse the two. One may have led to the other, but that doesn't mean the scope of both are the same. When Sessions announced his recusal he clearly said it covered EVERYTHING related to the 2016 election campaign, not just the "Russian meddling" that was part of Mueller's original charge.
