Conflict of interest to prosecute and rule, unless they are separated. But I hear you, this is the 2nd time we've had this problem in 55 years, Nixon and Trump. DOJ keeps dancing around with opinions, cannot prosecute sitting president, can appoint special counsel, cannot appoint special counsel. To change this you need the political will and the political power, and we never get there.
