Special counsel Robert Mueller scored one of the biggest legal wins of his tenure on Tuesday, as a federal appeals court rejected claims that his appointment was unconstitutional

Last year, Mueller’s office demanded that Miller appear before a federal grand jury in Washington probing the Russia matters, but Miller moved to quash the subpoena by citing alleged flaws in Mueller’s appointment. Miller’s challenge was backed by conservatives looking for a vehicle to escalate the legal attack on Mueller’s office.

Miller worked as an assistant to Stone, who began saying last spring that he was bracing for an indictment by prosecutors from Mueller’s team. For a time, it appeared prosecutors might be waiting for a ruling on Miller’s protests before proceeding to indict Stone, but they ultimately brought charges without Miller’s testimony.

Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court in Washington rejected Miller’s arguments last year, although she wrote that his attorney raised “legitimate questions.” That firm, Concord Management and Consulting, endorsed Miller’s appeal and presented arguments against Mueller at the November D.C. Circuit session where Kamenar pressed Miller’s case.

LOL He's the one that in all probability should be investigated for collusion!

This will be revisited......

Still winning

Hallelujah for small favors!

His appointment was constitutional; his actions are constitutional abominations. He, his Dem-operative lawyers/agents and their sycophant Congress & Media are self-serving frauds and liars

Look at the look on his face. It’s the same look you get from a dad who’s working on a quantum physics RogueNASA project in order to launch the most important space mission in the history of the world, and the neighbor's dog came running through the house with muddy paws.

Would that have been Hussein's 9th Circuit Court? LMAO!!

I hope Mueller gets a hell of a vacation after the overwhelming insanity of all of this. I can’t imagine digging up everything on this shitshow administration.🤯

Only Trump would try this tactic; lame! Trump belongs in jail!

Sad that a win is simply being told that the incredibly important job you've been doing for a while now is, in fact, legitimate after all. Sad that it was ever in question.

that's one of the biggest? sad
