The appointment of Robert Mueller violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Mueller is not an inferior appointee, but a principal appointee as understood under the constitution. His powers are more akin to an United States attorney, not an assistant United States attorney.

This being so he has been appointed without the normal appointments process

Obviously a history lesson is needed to debunk the FAKE NEWS you dug up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_prosecutor

Initiating a special prosecutor investigation[edit]

The decision to appoint a special prosecutor rests with the attorney general (or acting attorney general), or, historically, with the president. Under the independent counsel statute that expired in 1999, Congress could formally request the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor (see role of legislative and judicial branches); however the law only required the attorney general to respond in writing with a decision and reasons, and in any event it is no longer in force.^[18] Similarly, under the statute, the choice of who to appoint as special prosecutor was made by a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals. This is no longer the case, and the decision of who to appoint now rests entirely with the attorney general.The current special counsel regulations specify that:^[6]

The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and—

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and
(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.

The degree of power in Mueller's office exceeds anything we have ever seen, and simply can't be asserted by anybody who isn't subject to Congressional approval.

Tal Mueller has not been and is not subject to Congressional oversight, there were no hearings to determine his suitability and to confirm his appointment

talaniman · May 23, 2018, 07:28 PM

Geez Clete! Read the link and stop sounding like the DUFUS. Special Counsels do not require confirmation by the congress! Don't you loony right wingers care about the law? You certainly don't care about the facts!

The congress does have oversight over most everything here. There is also a process and procedure to follow in that oversight. The Dufus and his republican sycophants in the congress don't want you to know that though, and holler to high heaven about a witch hunt by the deep government and loony's like you swallow that crap.

BUMMER!

BUMMER!

Yes there has been a big one today Dump has called off his meeting with Kim citing hostility. He should have told the truth and said ego. He knows that Kim wasn't giving away anything so Mueller becomes a side show, I wonder what rabbit he will pull out to get back in the headlines

talaniman · May 24, 2018, 04:34 PM

Trump dumps Kim is no biggie, just a lovers spat after NK's disrespect of Trumps VP, but spygate turns out to be another nuthin' burger spun by Dufus and his FAKE News sycophants, so Dufus jumps back on the football players kneeling to the flag and thanks the owners for kissing his fat orange a$$.

Everybody is talking loud saying nothing except Mueller, who just keeps his mouth shut, and turns the screws to The Dufus Circle jerk buddies.

Just another day in America.

Just wait for Friday!

It's Friday here already, not much is happening, rumour has it Trump has been played but I wonder whether Bolton and Pence should have kept it their pants and let Trump make all the running. Meanwhile we are busy chasing supernovas in our beautiful clear skies. I fail to understand why a few football freaks should warrant such attention but then everything about that strange game you play just goes over my head

talaniman · May 25, 2018, 04:34 PM

The Dufus has made football players specifically black football players who kneel at the playing of the national anthem to protest police brutality his target to brand them as unpatriotic. This week the NFL has issued a rule that they must stand or stay in the locker room or be fined. The problem with that is the players have a union which means a process to implement rules and policy, but they were not consulted. Football is a big deal here, like soccer throughout the world. We have baseball and basket ball as well as hockey wrestling and boxing because we are a sports nation. Oh! We like our concerts and car racing too!

Yes it's finally Friday here and that means the news dump is coming and already The Dufus is seeking a briefing as to the meeting (That he called) held Thursday about his allegations the FBI and CIA put spies in his campaign. It's just a ploy though to shutdown Mueller, because he is finding out he had some informants in his midst, along with the criminals he employs that ARE going to jail or squeal on the lying cheating big mouth bully.

OH! The summit with NK may be on again. Have a happy Saturday. 8)

paraclete · May 25, 2018, 05:26 PM

Yes, a fine, foggy, frosty morning and in the light of dawn, Dump is blown in the wind again. You must remember we too are a sporting nation. I hear Putin is fed up with Trump, news fog around Trump means no one can get anything done

The same fog must surround Mueller as they are starting to predict the end of the inquiry

talaniman · May 26, 2018, 07:49 AM

Mueller is in no fog and just steadily doing his job. Everything else is noise from the uniformed right wing peanut gallery. Even the left wing talking heads have no clue what he ha,s but if the indictments and convictions so far, it's fair to say more are coming.

Seems to be driving the Dufus and his republican sycophants nuts by their words, and actions.

Perhaps a lot of this is noise from the uninformed left

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...nts-grand-jury

Mueller hasn't found any evidence connecting Trump to any of it. The most grievous charges have been lying to the FBI which would not have happened if this witch hunt had not begun. Charges against foreign nationals and companies are showboating.

What drives people nuts is all of this is a distraction and a media run circus. Trump is guilty of being an idiot in his private life but then that seems par for the course for left wing presidents also

talaniman · May 28, 2018, 05:26 AM

A plea deal for lesser charges never reveals the more serious ones these criminals were facing but you don't get a deal without FULL cooperation so this circus witch hunt that The Dufus and YOU tout it to be probably has more to be revealed later. Of course you loony right wingers don't want your Dufus to be revealed as a CRIMINAL because he already is a PROVEN liar and cheater. Not just in his marriage but business dealings.

The thing you righties never mention is the ones going after this Dufus are his fellow repubs and people HE appointed. Okay us lefties are cheering Mueller on! (He wanted Mueller to run HIS FBI remember?).

You appear to be a very uninformed righty Clete! Old age must be catching up to you...or the WINE!

Resorting to insults Tal, shows you lost the argument, I have given up drinking Tal

Of course you loony right wingers don't want your Dufus to be revealed as a CRIMINAL because he already is a PROVEN liar and cheater

.

You are confusing me with someone else, I don't care whether Trump is caught with his pants down or priming the pump. It doesn't matter to me. I see the choice you had as between liars, cheats and possible criminals anyway.

Yes your politicians are confused as to which side they are on, that is because Trump is not one of them and he can't be bought, but he can be compromised, so they dig the dirt, that is what politicians do. In a few months some of them are going to be out of business, so this is a last hurrah. A lot of Dons tilting at windmills.

Trump is successful in a way you leftists hate, he laughs at you, because deep down he doesn't care. It isn't about you

talaniman · May 28, 2018, 08:16 AM

You know the old saying... he who laughs last.. There is no confusion! It's Dufusism, or common sense. We agree that it is crazy season, and election year theatrics are abound.

paraclete · May 28, 2018, 03:36 PM

Yes we understand, there might be one skulking in the corners here too.

I think Dump is going to have the laugh on you when he and Kim become mates. I see a Trump hotel in Phongyang, Dump will explain the economics of casinos to Kim and how they can fleece those chinese high rollers. Kim will no longer need nukes and missiles and who knows with some new reps he might even get something done despite those recalcicant demorats and republicrats

talaniman · May 29, 2018, 06:50 AM

I don't see The Big Dufus and Little Dufus getting together soon, and Big Dufus has just hit NK's sponsor China with new tariffs, so the game continues. Lol The right wingers are screaming foul at Mueller, and the left is speculating while Mueller remains silent.

Whether he is a spy or informant depends on who you ask, but informants are pretty common to law enforcement on EVERY level and a part intelligence gathering as well. Of course everybody is a spy, snitch, or leaker to The Dufus and his public mouthpiece Rudy who never wants any facts other than HIS truth to be revealed, so he calls it spying.

That's why he paid the big bucks to silence a porn star and playboy bunny he was screwing. Granted that was years ago but his whole history is about dirty deals and criminals and shady tactics so to suggest not looking into this DUDE is INSANE. Lets at least see if he did indeed shoot a guy in the middle of the street in broad daylight.

His past disregard for law and ordered begs close scrutiny now.

Kim; I want picture with Orange guy

Dufus; Sure bring me money!

Kim; We got no money just Nukes!

Dufus: We got Nukes we want money. Summit coin not work crap, so bring real money.

Kim: How about discount on crappy coin as sign of good faith?

Dufus: You want good faith talk to the pope! We want money!

Kim: Damn what was hostages worth?

Dufus: Rating weren't that high but I'll give you a free coin at summit, SEND money first!

Kim; Chinese will pay.

Dufus; Not after I take their money with tariffs!

Xi; We cancel our soybean order from you and go to South America!

Dufus; Talk to you guys later, got a meeting with Mikey D's scheduled. Let me know when YALL get some money!
