"The Mueller probe is illegal BECAUSE it is unconstitutional. I see nowhere in the Constitution the power to create a “special investigator”, especially with no probable cause to investigate."

The Justice Dept. and the FBI are not in the Constitution either. That doesn't make them unconstitutional.

The Justice Dept. and the FBI as cabinet departments reporting to the President, carry out Constitutional mandates that the President “appoint officers” in order to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed” (U.S. Const, art. II, sec. 2& 3). The Justice Dept. and the FBI certainly have constitutional rationale.

There certainly no constitutional rationale for a loose cannon running around without clear reporting responsibility and no reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

The whole thing is more leftist unconstitutional b/s.

The Constitution gives Congress SOLE power to launch and try impeachment. If Congress has reasonable suspicion or probable cause that the President has committed an impeachable offense (”Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (id., art. II, sec. 4)) then, if necessary, they reasonably should hire their own investigative team to pursue legitimate impeachment. That is not what is going on here.
