The constitutional argument is the one that seems weak to me because the U.S. Constitution is clear about the need for "principal officers" to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate but is not clear about what exactly constitutes a "principal officer" in the executive branch of the U.S. government.
I use the office of the Deputy AG as a perfect example. The Deputy AG post requires Senate confirmation by law or regulation, but that post wasn't even established by Congress in the first place. So it must be defined as a "principal officer" somewhere, but certainly not in the U.S. Constitution.
I admit to being a total dunce on these things...I only know what I have heard in the last week about it, though I suspect I now know more than 99% of the electorate about it!
Well, thank God for FR. If I didn’t have people steering me to these things to at least look at them, I would be pretty much like that 99%...not saying that is bad, but I am very concerned about this whole thing.
I have been having discussions with some other Freepers about the “process crimes” that nailed Admiral Flynn and George Papadopoulos, not evidence of actual wrongdoing, and it bears on this for me because I long ago realized that Mueller’s team is not on a fact finding mission, they are on a scalp hunting mission.
In my mind, if they are willing to destroy people over these kinds of things in an effort to scare other people into giving up information, then we should fight back with a Constitutional “process” issue and destroy/invalidate their charter/mission if we are legally able to do so.
I know there are people (not necessarily you, but you might think so too I suppose...:) who think I am being hysterical about the importance of this “investigation” in light of the actual misdeeds that went on in the name of this witch hunt. I think the future of our Republic is at stake, with this spying on political candidates and such.
