Special counsel says holding Trump's classified docs trial before election would not violate DOJ policy

4. It's still not enacted "law" that Congress has passed, that forbids any investigation into alleged misconduct

before an election.

In the federal government (and I am a retiree from it), "guidance documents" are generally more detailed versions of and/or ARE "policy documents" - i.e., SOPs. But they usually have provisions/stipulations for deviations ( "exceptions" ), which normally involves authorization from the highest levels.

I.e., they don't want rogue government officials doing stuff right before an election as it screams "political" (like we saw Comey do in 2016). But if a certain candidate stands in the middle of 5th Ave. and shoots someone, they are NOT going to say ( *whine whine* ) "We have to wait until after the election to do something".
