Special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment is valid, federal appeals court rules

A federal appeals court in Washington unanimously affirmed the validity of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s appointment Tuesday, rejecting a challenge brought by an associate of President Trump’s embattled longtime adviser Roger Stone.

Miller was held in contempt by a lower-court judge after failing to appear before the grand jury as part of Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.It was not immediately clear whether the ruling from a three-judge panel would prompt Miller to agree to testify. Miller’s attorney, Paul Kamenar, said Tuesday he is disappointed with the decision and considering whether to ask the full D.C. Circuit to rehear the case or go directly to the Supreme Court.

The judges — Karen LeCraft Henderson, Judith W. Rogers and Sri Srinivasan — rejected Miller’s argument that Mueller was named to the post unlawfully. The court said the appointment is valid in part because Mueller is supervised by the attorney general and “effectively serves at the pleasure of an Executive Branch officer” confirmed by the Senate.

Kamenar acknowledged, though, that prosecutors might want his client’s testimony as they investigate others.

Unfortunately, defrauding the FISA courts invalidates any and all illegally obtained so called evidence. Bet the Judge never ruled on that.

SCOTUS does take lower court rulings into account when deciding to take a case or not. It just makes him look awfully guilty.

Activist judges will rule anything done in DOJ valid. Look what FISA Courts did. Chief Justice Roberts has to clean house.

Still talking about this 2 years later? The investigation is *reportedly* almost done anyway. Who still cares about this?

And therein lies the problem.

It seems like one of very few “valid appointments” in Washington and probably the most important right now.

Was this really even a question?
