Mueller is violating the Fourth Amendment: The stated goal of the investigation was to see if there was any possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russia during the presidential campaign.
So where is this evidence of "collusion" and why are people being charged for things which are completely unrelated?
How is Mueller violating the 4th amendment?
You forgot an important part of Mueller's appointment. It wasn't just to investigate Russian collusion - he was also instructed by the assistant AG to investigate "all other issues that might come up during the investigation".
The prosecutorial privilege to act "under color of law" comes with the duty to respect the rights the law guarantees. Take Paul Manafort for example: He was a subject in a non-violent-crime investigation, being represented by counsel, and was cooperating with Congress at the time Mueller’s Gang of 17 chose to break into his home, while he and his wife were in bed sleeping.
I can guarantee that if this had happened to you, it would be a violation of your right to be protected against unreasonable searches and seizures. You'd be shitposting on here 24/7 about it.
The search of Manafort's home was completely legal. Mueller had a warrant, signed by a judge, granted because he showed enough evidence to establish probable cause.
No 4th amendment violation there.
