1. It’s a great point, Robert. But you know what would happen if a court took up the issue? The prosecutor would argue, “your honor, we could not indict the president while he was in office so we assert that the statute of limitations stopped/paused during that time.”
2. The judge would say, “show me the law that says you can’t indict a sitting president.” Prosecutor, “umm...there is no law, just this OLC memo that says we can’t do it.” Judge, “Exactly! There is no law prohibiting it. Therefore you COULD have indicted the president within...
3. the statute of limitations. For that reason, I reject your argument that the time stopped/paused and, because you let the time run out, you are now barred (Bill Barred) from prosecuting him. Case dismissed.” This is yet another reason the OLC memo is complete & utter nonsense.
