I'm responding to your proclamations that Trump is the highest law enforcement officer in the land and that Mueller works for him. Nixon thought the same thing and it led to his downfall.
And just to be clear, you think the CIA "pulled some crap" on Nixon? Do you know what Watergate was about?
Trump is not the highest law enforcement officer in the land.
Nixon thought he could fire enough of the highest law enforcement officers in the land until he got to someone who would march to his tune.
Eventually, he got down to Bork who fired Special Prosecutor Cox in exchange for Nixon's promise to nominate him to the Supreme Court.
You go further than Comey did in excusing his decision to not recommend indictment. He acknowledged there was evidence of potential violations of the law re handling of classified information. His decision was based on precedent in similar past cases [I think there were other reasons]:
"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past."
She got away with it, be happy.
Mueller's not going away. Trump blew his chance to put someone at DOJ who'd investigate Clinton, and instead ends up the one being investigated. Hugely. bigly failure.
"no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."
He was NOT a prosecutor. The FBI INVESTIGATES then turns the info OVER to the PROPER AUTHORITIES to decide if prosecution warranted or not.
MANY people with prosecutor experience have flat out disagreed with his claim.
"and how similar situations have been handled in the past."
Tell that to the sailor was found GUILTY for taking a picture of himself for his girl friend"
I just heard Sara Carter talking to Hannity about Weissman and Ohr. Ohr has been singing to save his own skin. The whole Mueller investigation is compromised if Weissman knew it was fake. She speculated that may be why Mueller agreed to get written answers from the President. Nothing much is going to happen now.
It sounds like there will be a release soon of the 20 page FISA that Rosenstein signed. Conflicts all around. Not sure if that was the particular bombshell Carter was referencing, but something big is coming out soon.

Was the guy fired or not?
It would all play out in the public perception. Nixon didn't know the CIA were setting him up.
Just like Brennen and Obama did to Trump. Why do you think they tried to pin Russia on Trump, when it was Brennen, Hillary and Obama colluding with Russia and China and Saudi Arabia, and Iran..... and let's not leave out Britain and the EU

The rest is history.
Who has Trump bribed to make it go away?
This is the same deal they pulled on Nixon.
CIA set up, blame it on the republicans and then watch to see if there is a cover-up
