Paul Manafort and Richard Gates have pleaded not guilty to all charges in Robert Muellers Russia probe, but at least one legal scholar has suggested special counsel Robert Muellers investigation may not be constitutional.
According to the reasoning, one of the key factors is how Mueller's role is structured. Jeff Sessions recused himself, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has said Mueller doesnt report to him with day-to-day decisions.
Because of that, Pepperdine University law professor Douglas W. Kmiec says that Mueller effectively does not have a supervisor and without one, the Senate would have to confirm Mueller as an executive appointee. Otherwise, his appointment is unconstitutional.
In an op-ed for the Los Angeles Times penned in July, Kmiec suggested that with Comeys alleged assumption that President Trump is a wrongdoer and the special counsel process labelling him as such, that the investigation itself is arguably equivalent to an unconstitutional indictment.

“Legal expert: Robert Mueller’s Russia probe may be a bust because he was illegally appointed”
Means nothing, one only has to look at the last 8 years with Obama and how he ever got elected.
The Dept of InJustice is the worst part of the swamp. Without truth being upheld in honor, life is meaningless.
Of course Mueller has a supervisor, it's the Deep State.
If they skin that smokewagon, they’ll see what happens...
The "media."
Probably true, but I expect this to garner as much action as a kenyan with a Photoshopped Fake Birth Certificate being removed as a usurper.

A most excellent point!
Jeff Sessions should come out and say thank you Mr. Mueller for not finding any Trump Collusion, we are going to wrap this all up now and stop wasting millions investigating the wrong team.
We are going to investigate Hillary and Obama, Fisa unmasking, emails, collusion with Russians, attempts to frame Don Jr. for meeting with Russia, inappropriate campaign spending on fabricated dossier based on Russian lies. And many more including but not limited to Uranium sale for bribes to the Clintons.

Sounds like a plan. :)
And, appoint Rudy Giuliani as the new special prosecutor.
Jeff Sessions.
This article is incorrect. He does have a boss. He reports to Hillary Clinton.
I believe you've UNCOVERED the core issue designed to keep ANYONE from prosecution.
Kabuki theater act one!
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein didn’t conduct a preliminary investigation to determine a legitimate need for appointment of a Special Counsel.
