Eric Columbus an Obama appointee at Justice (2009-2014) and Homeland Security (2014-2017) found a job (as they usually do) with the liberal propaganda machine media at Politico. Even Columbus doesn’t think Mueller will ever indict Trump, despite that being the wet dream of basically every Democrat and media hack in America.

Mueller almost certainly won't indict Trump – not because it would be unconstitutional, but because Mueller's authority is very different from Ken Starr's was. I can explain. 1/https://t.co/BoZHbz0OFm

As Columbus points out, the law guiding independent counsel Kenneth Starr that allowed him to indict then-President Bill Clinton Starr’s investigation into the Clinton during the 1990s had expired in 1999 “amidst concern that ICs had too much leeway,” he writes.
Mueller is a “special counsel,” the position that replaced independent counsels, out of concern that ICs had too much power, Columbus notes.
In other words, Mueller “is essentially the equivalent of a U.S. Attorney, except that his jurisdiction is defined by topic rather than geography,” wrote Columbus. Therefore, Mueller reports to deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein because Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself.
