Mueller could not within the rules, indict trump.

The purpose of Mueller's investigation was not to indict, but to conclude that Trump was guilty of obstruction. And he could have specifically recommended whatever was needed for Trump to be removed.

Trump could waive the rules that Mueller believes prohibit him from indicting him.

Why should he? Mueller's investigation did not conclude that Trump obstructed. On what grounds should Trump waive the rules?

The report says Trump may have successfully obstructed the investigation, that’s the point of obstruction.

The report does not conclude that Trump obstructed the investigation. The report, and other reports, do point out a lot of instances where Trump cooperated and aided the investigation.

Meanwhile Mr lock them up, is horrified that someone said in private, that they want him to lose, be indicted, convicted and go to prison, far less horrible than what he’s been saying about others since he became a candidate and continued to say as President. I suppose you think he was joking about that also.

Trump generally doesn't attack unless he is attacked. You seem to think that he should not respond in kind. I have no problem with it.
