Q that I wanted: In your experience as a prosecutor, is "I hope you'll do X…" the sort of language criminals use to maintain deniability?
I’d assumed that the claim that the head of state could order criminal investigations started/stopped at will went out with James II.

"I hope" has been used at least twice successfully in obstruction of Justice cases in two circuits.

Cites?

US vs Bedoy Fifth circuit, 2016, and US vs McDonald Eighth Circuit, 2008.

Well, you assumed wrong.
-
People assume because POTUS generally has the power to do something, he can ABUSE that power. He can order investigations into crime types,
-
but he can't order meritless investigations into his enemies for political purposes - that's abuse of power.
-
Of course he can. Remember the
@IRSnews targeting of#Conservative groups under@BarackObama and#LoisLerner? -
IRS targeted crime TYPES. GOP weren't the only folks caught and penalized.
-
Ah ... but know one in the
@IRSnews got prosecuted for targeting. Still have their pensions. -
Please learn how to spell before tweeting at me.
