They still have an interest in the rule of law. This will not be some wishy-washy case. It will be clear that the rule of law is at stake, and whatever else bad you might say about them, the majority still believe in the rule of law.

Highlight:

if Mueller hands out indictments (President,his son ,Daughter, Son in law,speaker of house & so on) [View all] bluestarone Jan 2018 OP

I would think the department of justice could stop all of it by refusing to prosecute. AJT Jan 2018 #1

No, Mueller is the prosecutor marylandblue Jan 2018 #3

Thus why they are trying to destroy him as we speak. Eliot Rosewater Jan 2018 #6

Exactly. That's why we must defend him at all costs. marylandblue Jan 2018 #9

My prediction is NY indicts trump on money laundering and Mueller indicts Eliot Rosewater Jan 2018 #13

Actually he's not the Prosecutor...he is leading the Investigation titaniumsalute Jan 2018 #20

See my post 5. on 28 CFR 600.6 marylandblue Jan 2018 #22

Mueller doesn't hand out indictments. USAs indict. Mueller convened grand juries. L. Coyote Jan 2018 #7

so possibly bluestarone Jan 2018 #10

One of the grand juries is in Eastern District of Virginia. See Flynn plea nad Manafort charges. L. Coyote Jan 2018 #14

In this case, the crimes are multiple jurisdiction or international marylandblue Jan 2018 #18

Mueller does not report to any US Attorney and USAs do not indict marylandblue Jan 2018 #16

My guess is that Trump's attorneys would appeal any prosecution of Trump to the Supreme Court. Jim__ Jan 2018 #8

But then maybe bluestarone Jan 2018 #11

He couldn't pardon anyone who is charged by a state. Jim__ Jan 2018 #15

They will certainly appeal marylandblue Jan 2018 #12

Is there a way to prevent a president from pardoning someone under federal charges? Jim__ Jan 2018 #17

No DetroitLegalBeagle Jan 2018 #19

Probably No, but maybe yes marylandblue Jan 2018 #21

Just your thinking. Do you feel the supreme court of today bluestarone Jan 2018 #23
