Mueller Is Circling the Drain
By Spike Hampson
Certain aspects of the process whereby Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel challenge the legitimacy of the entire undertaking. To understand them, we must dip into the legalese surrounding the appointment process, but at least that weighty language is mercifully short.
Please read Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing Robert Mueller as special counsel. It is readily available online. The following quotation from the letter extracts its essence:
By virtue of the authority vested in me as acting Attorney General . . . , I hereby order as follows:
(a) Robert S. Mueller is appointed to serve as Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice.
(b) The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:
(i) Any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and
(ii) Any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and
(iii) Any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).
(c) ...
(d) § 600.4 through 600.10 of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations are applicable to the Special Counsel.
