The theory seems to be that a criminal indictment would cause a POTUS to spend too much time on his defense and he wouldn't have time to run the country. If I were the prosecutor I would challenge it in court with the number of days Individual One has spent golfing and how his schedules seem to reflect he spends about 90% of the time watching television.
