‘I’m actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country. But I’ve chosen not to be involved. But he is a man of great integrity. But I could be involved if I wanted to be,’

I dont agree with this statement..but I get why he thinks it.
Trump is correct constitutionally.
Maybe because the Constitution say so? Unless you can point out where the Constitution grants the AG with power over the President, I will go with Trump's assessment. The problem with the AG being omnipotent is they can protect their criminal compatriots with no way to stop them. The power to pardon offers no protection against the power to excuse from Justice. To think the President has no power to prosecute or recommend prosecution is absurd.
