We are not like that. We should never go there. I would never. Gather a throng of protestors to legally demonstrate against him.

Mueller’s authorities are laid out in documents including the Aug 2017 scope memo....a memo issued by Rosenstein several days AFTER the Manafort home raid.

Nice save.......the R/stein memo gave ^{purports to retrospectively give} Mueller the authority to do exactly what he did ^{already had done} to Manafort.

. . . but in fact the raid on Manafort’s house was illegal at the time it was conducted. It was done without due process of law.

It’s possible to imagine a judge getting picky about that . . .

I’m not holding my breath, but the right thing for the judge to do would be to declare the Special Persecutor law unconstitutional, on grounds that history, and the behavior of Mueller, has confirmed Scalia’s dissent

That is what this suit is about. Power. The allocation of power among Congress, the President, and the courts in such fashion as to preserve the equilibrium the Constitution sought to establish. … Frequently an issue of this sort will come before the Court clad, so to speak, in sheep’s clothing: the potential of the asserted principle to effect important change in the equilibrium of power is not immediately evident, and must be discerned by a careful and perceptive analysis. But this wolf comes as a wolf.

rather than the majority SCOTUS opinion in Morrison v. Olson. Let Rosenstein appeal - and then demand that SCOTUS fast-track the case (BTW, I question whether any present members of SCOTUS were on the bench when Morrison was decided).
