The OLC "decision" was written by Nixon's OLC while it seemed Nixon would be indicted over Watergate. "Self-serving" is the proper term I believe. They all just call it a rule because no one wants to touch this radioactive pile of shit known as Indicting and Trying a President.

yeah, I sorta remembered it was something like that.
obviously, special times call for special circumstances, but obviously, it's radioactive enough to avoid. of course, such avoidance means that theoretically, if a sitting president did, in fact, shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue, we'd have to wait until his term was over to indict him. given these special times and circumstances, the logic is pretty close to that of Mutually Assured Destruction. actually, MAD makes somewhat more sense.
special times, special circumstances.
and isn't the OLC the piece of the DOJ whose main function is to cover POTUS's ass?
