I am confused about the role of special prosecutor investigating the president of the United States. I am also confused about the role of the various lawyers representing the president. What is the rule in law? Can the special prosecutor reveal information ethically?

There clearly has been a lot of confusion and misunderstanding and misstatements about the role of the special prosecutor, particularly involving the investigation of the current president of the United States on the issues of Russian collusion and obstruction of justice.
Anyone who is interested should read a well-written book titled, “Prosecuting the President, How Special Prosecutors Held Presidents Accountable and Protect the Rule of Law.” The book is by Andrew Coan, professor at Arizona School of Law.
