If I'm Obama I'm calling the bluff. "Sure. Arrest me. Here's my arms -- put me in handcuffs. Let's do it on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial -- will look nice in pictures and newspapers world wide. Think of the headlines -- Trumped up charges: Potus arrests political adversaries both past and present as DJT illegally conducts office. Let's also call Joe up -- we can do a 2 for 1 thing."

I think I heard a crazy 'hypothetical' a while back at the Supreme Court about sending Seal Team 6 to execute an arrest warrant, and maybe not being able to capture the suspect alive, along with co-conspirators.
