White House counselor Kellyanne Conway's husband on Monday released an article defending the constitutionality of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.
The piece, titled "The Terrible Arguments Against the Constitutionality of the Mueller Investigation," takes aim at President Trump's recent Twitter attacks on the probe, in which the president argues the investigation is unconstitutional.
Conway points out the initial spelling errors in the tweet and said he most likely got his argument from conservative legal scholar Steven Calabresi.
"Unfortunately for the president, these writings are no more correct than the spelling in his original tweet. And in light of the president’s apparent embrace of Calabresi’s conclusions, it is well worth taking a close look at Calabresi’s argument in support of those conclusions," he writes.
Calabresi has argued that Mueller's probe is "null and void" because it violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2.
"The 'constitutional' arguments made against the special counsel do not meet that standard and had little more rigor than the tweet that promoted them. Such a lack of rigor, sadly, has been a disturbing trend in much of the politically charged public discourse about the law lately, and one that lawyers — regardless of their politics — owe a duty to abjure," Conway said.
This is not the first time Conway has criticized his wife's boss.
Conway previously shared commentary by a Politico reporter critiquing Trump’s claim on the constitutionality of the probe:

I want to know how much she tells him!
Maybe he will end up at a skid row urgent care charity clinic with mysterious spike heel marks all over his body.
No suspects.
Agreed,
It's not that a probe by a Special Prosecutor or Special Counsel is in and of itself a violation of the Constitution.
The problem is that this particular probe is being conducted in pursuit of a political agenda instead of justice.
It has been weaponized by a Special Counsel running amok in an attempt to unfairly damage or destroy a presidency.

Fat boy does corporate law..I trust Levin and Jarrett and others including Andy McCarthy
“Couch, my ass-”
LOL! You sound like my kind of woman!
One can be a conservative or a swamp lover, not both.
Well, neither of my husbands ever showed me that kind of disrespect, so I just never learned to tolerate it-my Latin temper and all that-I’m treated as an equal and with respect, or I’m done...
I’ll put up Mark Levin and Prof. Calabresi against George Conway any time in court.
I greatly respect Kelley Anne Conway. Met her when she and Dinesh D’Souza were running the “3rd Generation” lecture series at the Heritage Foundation.
Both were kind, smart, had a good sense of humor, and wanted to talk to the audience in attendance. They were a breath of fresh air in the old stogy GOP ruling elite.
Does this guy have a drinking problem?
