He may be able to indict, comrade; stay tuned. This case is going to the Appeals Court tomorrow, and the judge mentioned that memo.

A Judge Rules That Trump Isn’t Above the Law—and Neither Are His Tax Returns

By John Cassidy

October 7, 2019

...The judge also noted that Trump’s legal team, in claiming that the President couldn’t be investigated, had placed a lot of emphasis on internal Department of Justice guidelines, which say that a President can’t be prosecuted while in office. But “the DOJ Memos do not constitute authoritative judicial interpretation of the Constitution concerning those issues,” Marrero wrote. “In fact, as the DOJ Memos themselves also concede, the precise presidential immunity questions this litigation raises have never been squarely presented or fully addressed by the Supreme Court.” Although Marrero obviously doesn’t speak for the high court, he did consider the constitutional arguments that Trump’s team had raised, and dismissed them, saying: “The Court concludes that neither the Constitution nor the history surrounding the founding support as broad an interpretation of presidential immunity as the one now espoused by the President.”
