Memo Discusses Legal Strategy for Potential Indictment of President and Vice President Amid Statute‑of‑Limitations Concerns The passage reveals internal DOJ/OLC deliberations on whether a sitting president or vice president can be criminally indicted, referencing historic Agnew litigation and the role of the Special Prosecutor. While it provides concrete names (Leon Jaworski, Robert Bork, Spiro Agnew) and procedural considerations, it does not disclose new factual allegations or financial flows. The lead is useful for understanding legal precedents and possible strategy but offers limited actionable investigative steps beyond confirming the existence of the memo. Key insights: OLC memo weighs policy vs. constitutional arguments on indicting a president or vice president.; Statute of limitations cited as a driver for timely indictment.; Reference to historic 1973 Agnew case and arguments for vice‑presidential immunity.
