2. our system is also based on an alleged criminal to be tried in a court of law, not on television in a court of public opinion.
c. finally, our system is based on a judge or jury finding the person on trial guilty or innocent based on the testimony and evidence presented during that trial. not presented before the trial by a 3rd party on television, during a speech.

I agree with all those points...but it doesn't speak to your assertion that the Executive branch must remain neutral.
Like I said before, only the Judicial branch must remain neutral. The Executive branch, by it's nature, must NOT remain neutral. How else is the DOJ going to charge people with crimes if it must remain neutral at the same time?
(btw, as to point #3, I don't believe the President's comments were entered into evidence anyhow.)
