Former special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday said that he believes President Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice after he leaves office.
“Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?” Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) asked Mueller during the former special counsel’s testimony.
“Yes,” Mueller replied.
Buck appeared to be taken aback, and asked the question again, but adding whether Mueller believed a president could be charged with obstruction of justice after leaving office. The former special counsel again said he believed that was the case.

Robert Mueller: "Based on Justice Department policy and principles of fairness we decided we would not make a determination as to whether the president committed a crime. That was our decision then and it remains our decision today." #MuellerHearings https://t.co/f0e5AjmZvv pic.twitter.com/Z1whMhStUw

It's now quite possible that the OLC opinion has saved the president from two indictments — one in the SDNY for his role in the Stormy Daniel payoffs and the other from the SC's office.
