The Mueller probe is illegal BECAUSE it is unconstitutional. I see nowhere in the Constitution the power to create a “special investigator”, especially
with no probable cause to investigate.

It's not a constitutional matter. Mueller wasn't appointed to operate outside the oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice. He was appointed because the people inside the DOJ with responsibility for the matter believed they had a conflict of interest that prevented them from operating objectively in their roles as U.S. attorneys.

It's really no different than a police chief removing himself from a criminal investigation when a crime victim or a suspect is a family member. Appointing an "acting chief" to oversee the matter doesn't violate anyone's constitutional rights.

The Justice Dept. and the FBI are not in the Constitution either. That doesn't make them unconstitutional.
