WASHINGTON -- A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld Robert Mueller's appointment as special counsel after his authority had been challenged by a witness who refused to appear before a grand jury related to the Russia investigation.

The case was brought by Andrew Miller, an aide to longtime Trump campaign adviser and confidant Roger Stone. Prosecutors wanted him to testify as part of Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and ties to President Donald Trump's campaign.

In the legal fight, Miller argued that Mueller hadn't been properly appointed, making his grand jury subpoena invalid. A lower court held Miller in contempt for refusing to testify.

United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit

Karen LeCraft Henderson (Grabby Poppy judge)
Judith W. Rogers (Rapin Bill judge)
Sri Srinivasan (ClownBammy judge)

The panel was stacked.

The ruling is political, and therefore is #FakeLaw.

So you believe judges are not against Trump or his associates?

Do you care to expound on that or are you just here to troll? If you’re just here to make unexplained negative replies like that then just go away.

You’re not helping.

Mueller's appointment has been held as legal in four different legal proceedings now. So, this seems like a time wasting tactic. The lawyer says he may appeal again.

Why not just instruct your client to take the 5th in the Grand Jury proceedings instead?

After all most of Mueller's victims have been charged with the process crime of lying, some based on simple errors like the data a meeting took place.

Given that I think it would be smart to take the 5th and avoid self-incrimination.

Or, take the Hillary-path and simply say over and over "I'm sorry I have recollection of that conversation". Etc.
