Levin: ‘Mueller probe unconstitutional’

"....Rosenstein usurped the authority of the president of the United States to nominate whoever he wants as a prosecutor,” Levin said. “Mr. Mueller is serving unconstitutionally in violation of the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution because of the way Rod Rosenstein appointed him.”

Article II of the constitution makes clear that principal executive branch positions are to be filled directly by the President. If Mueller’s attorneys are “SPecial Assistant US Attorneys: that makes Mueller a defacto “Roving US Attorney” Levin explained.

His appointment is subject to Article II of the constitution and the President should have been the one to make his appointment, not Rod Rosenstein."
