    A Special Counsel would most likely (could) be fired for violating the Special Counsel statute, 28 CFR §600.7(a), as could any US Attorney for violating DOJ policy. This action would not be reviewable by any federal court. The same would hold for a State attorney, though it is a little messier.

    This DOJ policy is not trivial, like when to take bathroom breaks, but in the learned and clear opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel -- twice, in 1973 and in 2000 -- indicting a sitting president is blatantly unconstitutional.

    Complete and utter CLAPTRAP!

    The judge read the SC authorization by the DOJ and found the Manafort indictment to be WITHIN the SC statute.

    There is NO Constitutional requirement that an SC must be confirmed by the Senate.

    Ironic given that you are ignoring your own advice!

    Furthermore I am not the one playing silly semantic games. That is your problem, not mine.

    That sentence says VOLUMES! :eek:

    Trusting the airheads on Hate AM over and above the Judicial branch of our nation could only be something that BLOTUS supporters would embrace.

    Exactly as I said, except I was referring to the SC statute, not Rosenstein's faulty letter of appointment.

    It might help if you read and/or understood the constitution.
