That’s bullcrap and that’s a mere theory has been posted a few times as “proof”.

Dershowitz is no friend of Trump and utterly destroyed this. Swing and a miss. There is nothing in the law or constitution that the DOJ is independent of the control of the president. What you posted is a progressive fantasy.
Even Comey at his own hearing admitted that Trump has that power.

He can start, stop, or direct any investigation. He can fire Mueller or anyone at the DOJ.
And the ramblings of a judge are meaningless. I notice you pointed to nothing in the law or constitution that limits the power of the president over the DOJ.

It doesn’t exist.

For the record, no, I do not believe you know more about the limitations of the POTUS when it comes to ordering the AG around than does former AG Mukasey. I do believe that YOU are convinced that between you and Mukasey, you know more.

Trump has asked Sessions repeatedly why Hillary isn’t being investigated. How, per your singular insight into the law, can Trump ***force*** Sessions to open that investigation?

Keep in mind that the whole purpose of a special counsel isn’t to operate independently to prevent meddling by the President or AG for political purposes, but to avoid compromising the integrity of an investigation. Having the president direct an investigation — even if he’s well within his authority to do so — is a sure-fire way to let a potential criminal defendant skate.
