It’s moot - Trump is no longer a sitting president (which is why John Roberts isn’t presiding at the upcoming trial) and can be indicted for whatever a grand jury decides to indict him for.

There is nothing in US law that says you can't indict a sitting president. It's merely a DOJ "memo".
Someone should get off their ass, and write a new memo.
Of course it isn't law. You're correct - it's a DOJ memo. Which means it's DOJ policy not to indict a sitting president. DOJ, like all government agencies, follow the policies they create for themselves. And guess who would have to indict a sitting president?
The Department of Justice.
Guess who the Department of Justice works for?
The President.
