You are unwittingly, IMHO, making an error which is understandable. You are still reasoning like the old rules apply, which they no longer do. You think the battle is in rooms with wood paneled walls filled with men in suits. The actual battle so far is a PR battle. If Barr were to arrest Comey Impeachment would be a side show. What is on TV screens right now would be Rat corruption and crime not a kangaroo trial which is currently on Prime Time.
If you're going to pursue a case in a criminal court, you bet your ass the "old rules" still apply.

1. Trump is WINNING this PR battle.
2. I'd love to see Comey arrested. But that case has to be airtight, and understandable to the public (since this is a "PR battle," right?). The absolute worst thing that could possibly happen would be for Comey to be acquitted before Election Day 2020.
