It is.
There is NO investigation of Russian “interference” in the election.
“There is no question about the authority of Grand Juries to compel testimony. What are you thinking along those lines?”
This entire case is so poorly defined with absolutely no criminal matter being investigated I suspect there are multiple lines of legal challenges to contest the subpoena for testimony.
They aren’t investigating a crime. They are investigating based on a counterintel matter. Without knowing all the relevant statutes, I suspect there are numerous grounds to challenge and they will be when the appeal is filed.
I’d await that filing to see what the basis is for the appeal. It may be quite good and people are kind of sick of being dragged into a phony Russia Collusion Hoax investigation.
The risk to the innocent is high. As a result, I find no issue with the lawyer declining to cooperate and testing the framework of the request.
Perhaps I am out of bounds wrt the federal system but for non-specific investigation in the State courts there is no requirement that the subject be informed of the potential crime. No defense lawyers are allowed.
So since they have no role within the Jury Room, they have no standing outside the Jury Room.
I was Foreman of the Cook County Grand Jury in the 80’s and it was fascinating, quite an adventure.
“…Mueller’s appointmentment is legitimate because he is supervised by a constitutionaly appointed officer”
So, neither the AG nor any of the DAs need to be confirmed?
Rosenstein was confirmed by the Senate 94-6. Mueller reports to Rosenstein.

The issue is who is actually running the show. If Rosenstein is micromanaging everything a case can be made for the SC. If he just approves budgets and leaves the Mule team alone, a case can be made the appointment was out of order.
The idea that only Russians tried mess things up during the last election doesn’t pass my smell test.

There must be an adverse ruling to be appealed.
Code Is Free Speech
Rosenstein was confirmed by the Senate 94-6. Mueller reports to Rosenstein.
You can get all the blueprints you want at the US Patent Office. They’re a matter of public record. And after the patents expire, you can produce the guns commercially.
Since 1950 deputy Attorneys General have been confirmed by the Senate.
For example, Obama’s longest serving Deputy Attorney General: “James Michael Cole is an American attorney who served as United States Deputy Attorney General from December 29, 2010 to January 8, 2015. He was first installed as Deputy Attorney General following a recess appointment by President Barack Obama on December 29, 2010. He then was confirmed by the United States Senate in a 55–42 vote on June 28, 2011.”—Wikipedia

IIRC, he stated that eventually this argument would be made in court, perhaps at the appeals stage, and would be found to be a valid argument, thereby rendering moot, null, and void everything Mueller did.

But, not before the leviathan has ground and sent to the poor-house, via the never-ending power and $$ (aka taxpayers), every soul it has touched.
And, though those souls may seek (*maybe* ultimately receive) restitution, their lives, and the taxpayer pockets, will never be whole.
Those the perpetrated this farce will *NEVER* be held accountable.
It seems wrong to me that this is permitted in our society. In the case of a special prosecutor, there should be equal funds available to the target of the investigation, refundable to the government if a conviction is made. This is very unfair the way it’s set up.
