Internal memo suggests removing OLC prohibition on indicting a sitting president, likening it to reversing torture opinion

Internal memo suggests removing OLC prohibition on indicting a sitting president, likening it to reversing torture opinion The passage hints at a coordinated effort by senior Justice Department officials (potentially Rosenstein) to overturn legal barriers to indicting a sitting president, referencing past OLC memos on executive power. While the source is a vague email chain with no concrete evidence, the claim ties high‑level officials to a potentially explosive legal shift, meriting further verification. Key insights: Email discusses removing the OLC rule that prevents indicting a sitting president.; Comparison made to withdrawing the DOJ opinion on torture, implying precedent for overturning legal constraints.; Mentions former OLC memoranda from the Bush era and suggests Rosenstein could repeat the process.
