If he had Constitutional power of prosecutorial discretion, sure.

If trump can't get his AG to appoint a SC to look into Comey then Trump isn't a very good leader.

you don't think Trump should have Comey prosecuted?
In fact, what the #### is taking trump so long to prosecute Comey for leaking FBI info?
Like I said, then trump should have Comey prosecuted. That doesn't change anything that they may have found in the investigation. Jr, Kush, and if you believe trump wrote the first 'press release' for DJ, The President all lied about the trump tower meeting.
Then why did they lie about it?None of it being a crime... NONE OF IT.
WTF is taking Mueller so long to indict Trump for collusion?
Just have to remind myself that he's that stupid. Ignorant would be one thing; but he refuses to be wrong...ever, and willful ignorance is flat out stupid.
Then why did they lie about it?

Seriously. Why aren't they investigating Comey? I agree that he appears to have mishandled sensitive information at the very least and most likely taken federal property when he was fired. Why isn't trump pressuring the acting AG to appoint a SC to look into that leak?

So trump can't get his justice department to work for him? Whose fault is that? Obama had no problem getting holder and lynch to do his bidding. GW had the full backing of justice. Justice is part if the executive branch, so trump s their boss.

The AG isn't the president's lawyer. He, or she, is the lawyer for the US government. Obama having 'no problem' getting Holder or Lynch to do his bidding is not a good thing, necessarily. You really want to know what kinds of problems can come of the AG thinking that serving "at the President's pleasure" means serving as the President's lawyer?
Ever heard of the Palmer Raids?
The president can, at a minimum encourage the AG to launch an investigation. Now Trump, being about a ignorant as they come (in my estimation; and that's not a criticism, just an observation) about the law, he would have his legal team advise him on these things. Why he won't demand an investigation into Comey's actions is really beyond me. He should demand an investigation into the Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting. And he should have reopened the Hillary email investigation and had it done right.
One of the primary jobs of all of these guys is to uphold our laws. Comey violated the law. Trump seems to play the same game as the rest of them - some people are just allowed to get away with breaking the law.

I suppose this because we all saw it. A very few believe it is all coincidence, but those people aren't wrapped real tight.
If the lie is absolute evidence there was collusion, why hasn't anyone - ANYONE - been arrested and indicted yet?
People lie for a plethora of reasons. Why did Trump lie about Obamacre?
Dude, you're asking the wrong guy. I don't work there. Maybe they haven't gotten to it. Maybe their initial inquiries are done yet. Maybe they have no intention of further dragging Comey through the mud. Maybe Trump isn't the vindictive type. Maybe Trump is just as corrupt as the rest of them, and folks at Comey's level are too big to prosecute. Maybe for the same reason he decided not to go after Hillary - which he should have. Maybe they have bigger fish to fry like north Korea, Iran, ISIS, the economy, jobs, taxes, repeal and replace...
Regardless... it is an establish fact that Comey illegally leak his memos to the press.
If Sessions did decide to investigate Comey, would you support it?
No, only Democrats control their Attorney General. In the real world the AG is supposed to be independent from the President.
They lie for a plethora of reasons for sure, but usually to conceal something they have done wrong.
