So let me see if I have DOJ procedures correct.....

If I'm a candidate for President Of The United States; to be precise; if I am officially my party's candidate and won my primary; then I could commit as many elections related crimes as I want and will not be indicted until after the election? The reasoning for this is that so the DOJ doesn't interfere in an election.

However, If I were to win, become President of The United States, then I couldn't be indicted for the crimes that helped me get elected because the DOJ has a memo somewhere; not a law, not a statute, not a regulation; a memo, that states sitting presidents can't be indicted. So, for four more years I can (using the most powerful position in all of human history) reap the fruit of my crimes, damage untold lives, and work on ways to hide, or evade my crimes that allowed me to be elected in the first place?

And all of this so that the DOJ can say "Ha!, after only 5 years of you poisoning democracy, and destroying untold lives we have you!"

Here's my problem. All of this only benefits the DOJ.

It doesn't benefit, justice, democracy, the voters, or anybody but whoever just so happens to helm the department at the time.

This is how bureaucracy fails us. When we let it set its own rules, then you can guess the rules it sets will be focused firstly on protecting the bureaucracy.
