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. S: 600.4(a).

Not sure any of this is constitutional when it comes to investigating the executive branch for probable cause of possible crimes or misdeeds leading to impeachment. BIG conflict of interest.

IMO, this is an absolute bad-faith attempt by the Left to defang Trump and distract from the DNC's OWN mountain range of crimes and misdeeds.

"Constitutional" and "conflict of interest" are entirely different notions.

There is nothing unconsitutional about investigating a president or anybody else. Happens all the time. Clinton was sued for sex harrassment (Jones v. Clinton) and the case went to trial. So, I'm not sure what your basis is for asserting the investigation is unconstitutional, and leave it to you to articulate your beef.

Conflict of interest is inherent in a federal criminal investigation of a president. Not so much if say the state of Missouri indicted him for murder, becuase Trump doesn't control the AG in the state of Missouri. When there is an allegation of criminal wrongdoing, the system will try to produce "objective and impartial officials" so the people will have faith that the system isn;t corrupt. How would you feel if AG Podesta was in charge of investigating Clinton? You'd know the fix was in.

Totally agreed. It needs to be shut down. It will be shut down. I'm advocating for a process where the people who instigated this war, Comey, Clapper, many others in the government, and the press, I want them to be engaged in the battle, defeated, and disgraced.
