AND there is SCOTUS precedent to call Mueller’s appointment unconstitutional. Which should fry the democrat barrel boy, Rosenpig.

What’s the upshot here? That he would need Consent of the Senate to obtain such status?

I believe Levin is talking directly to TSEliot, a Reagan appointee, and giving him the ammo over the air to toss the Mueller prosecution out the front door of his court room. The judge has already questioned the legitimacy of their sad case. If he acts correctly it will set precedent for all other cases, Mueller will be dead in the water.

THIS, and other Levin’s positions on this mess is why Trump should fire Sessions and appoint Levin as AG. Levin is smart and tough. Enough with all the legal tip-toeing and pearl clutching that’s been going on the last 18 months.

United States Constitution
Article II
Section 2
[Excerpt:]
The President...He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

Levin raises good points that would apply if this investigation was pursuing a democrat president. In the current circumstance, I’m surprised the learned Levin forgot that the Constitution doesn’t apply to Mueller.

Much ado about nothing - at least nothing that anyone will do anything about.

Special Counsels are supposed to be vetted for conflicts of interest. Didn’t happen.

Special Counsels are supposed to be appointed to investigate a CRIME. So what CRIME is Mueller investigating?

Constitution? What Constitution?

Cannot Trump shut down Mueller and his ilk at anytime?

Yes, he “could,” but his advisors have him convinced that it would be political suicide to do so.

Thinking that none of Mueller’s witch hunt should be paid by taxpayers. That should all be on his dime or on those who put him up to this,but not the taxpayers.

At the end of his Hannity segment, he addressed every person being investigated by Mueller, and every attorney representing those persons directly, saying this line of defense should be raised in their pleadings.
. . . which would seem to raise the question of whether there is such a thing as an amicus brief which Levin himself could file with the court.

I think it's deeper than that.

Given that Mueller is acting as a "principle officer," Rosenstein doesn't have the Constitutional authority to appoint principle officers, only the President does.

Therefore, the matter doesn't even get to the Senate (which would be highly likely to confirm) if the President declines to appoint Mueller in the first place.

My guess he plans to let the chips fall and when Mueller is gone, Trump will dump Sessions like a hot potato.

  1. He doesn't want the political blowback, and...
  2. The investigation — and it's denouement — is helping him, and will continue to help him.

The point is that special counsels are supposed to be bound to a stated crime, and supervised in the execution of their investigation.

Since Mueller is apparently freelancing with no oversight, he fails the "inferior officer" test. Therefore, he must be appointed by the President before he can be confirmed by the Senate.

The alternative is for the AG to rein in Mueller and narrow the scope of his investigation to the Russian collusion theory only (which still isn't a crime), thereby relegating him to "inferior officer" status.
