I disagree completely. Obama took that route with torture and it was a mistake. If there's a clear case that Trump or someone else broke the law in a criminal way, indict them.
BTW, I think you are wrong that DOJ lawyers will push for it. They tend to stay away from politics. It's the political appointees who do that stuff.
