    3 things:

    First off, you literally started an argument explaining that something can’t happen, then ended it by saying that something that can’t happen can happen, and that hurts my brain a bit.

    Secondly, one reason reason a judge can deputize people is for cases where the executive branch or law enforcement has gone rogue and they need to enforce the law outside of the regular channels.

    Third, the whole “Can’t arrest or charge a sitting President for any crime” thing isn’t a law, but a justice department policy. Deputized law enforcement and prosecutors from outside of the justice department wouldn’t be bound by that policy.
