Yeah.My bad, I assumed that the folks at USMB are US Citizens and familiar with the US Constitution.
Although the U.S. Constitution grants no formal, express authority to oversee or investigate the executive or program administration, oversight is implied in Congress’s array of enumerated powers.[7] The legislature is authorized to appropriate funds; raise and support armies; provide for and maintain a navy; declare war; provide for organizing and calling forth the national guard; regulate interstate and foreign commerce; establish post offices and post roads; advise and consent on treaties and presidential nominations (Senate); and impeach (House) and try (Senate) the President, Vice President, and civil officers for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Reinforcing these powers is Congress’s broad authority “to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof”.
The authority to oversee derives from these constitutional powers. Congress could not carry them out reasonably or responsibly without knowing what the executive is doing; how programs are being administered, by whom, and at what cost; and whether officials are obeying the law and complying with legislative intent. The Supreme Court has legitimated Congress’s investigative power, subject to constitutional safeguards for civil liberties. In 1927, the Court found that, in investigating the administration of the Department of Justice, Congress was considering a subject “on which legislation could be had or would be materially aided by the information which the investigation was calculated to elicit”.[8]

Appointment of Special Counsel
Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein today announced the appointment of former Department of Justice official and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III to serve as Special Counsel to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters.
“In my capacity as acting Attorney General, I determined that it is in the public interest for me to exercise my authority and appoint a Special Counsel to assume responsibility for this matter,” said Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. “My decision is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted. I have made no such determination. What I have determined is that based upon the unique circumstances, the public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command.”
Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein added, “Each year, the career professionals of the U.S. Department of Justice conduct tens of thousands of criminal investigations and handle countless other matters without regard to partisan political considerations. I have great confidence in the independence and integrity of our people and our processes. Considering the unique circumstances of this matter, however, I determined that a Special Counsel is necessary in order for the American people to have full confidence in the outcome. Our nation is grounded on the rule of law, and the public must be assured that government officials administer the law fairly. Special Counsel Mueller will have all appropriate resources to conduct a thorough and complete investigation, and I am confident that he will follow the facts, apply the law and reach a just result.”
Special Counsel Mueller has agreed to resign from his private law firm in order to avoid any conflicts of interest with firm clients or attorneys.
A copy of the order is attached.

The Constitution authorizes three branches of government independent and co-equal.
It does not authorize one branch to interfere with another .branch.
But SCOTUS, again, took it upon itself to amend the constitution in order to allow the judiciary to interfere with powers of the executive branch, Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654, 699, 108 S.Ct. 2597, 101 L.Ed.2d 569 (1988) (Scalia, J., dissenting).
That case ought to be reversed. And the Constitution restored.

As soon as Mueller starts uncovering the democrat operatives who leaked documents to the media the DNC will cry "unconstitutional" and derail the investigation. It's their ace in the hole.
Oh, that's right: you're the "libertarian" who defends Trump. I'd ask "how's that working out for you?" but the ALL CAPS already tell me all I need to know.

Trump has filled the swamp, not drained it. He hired 3 Goldman-Sachs bigwigs. But at least he didn't give a speech to them.Oh, that's right: you're the "libertarian" who defends Trump. I'd ask "how's that working out for you?" but the ALL CAPS already tell me all I need to know.
We were given 2 choices on Nov 2016.
We were forced to select the lesser of two evils.
I have a problem when career bureaucrats and civil servants get to stick it to the person who threatens their jobs and agendas.
Had Ron Paul won he would been a greater threat to the swamp than DJT. Imagine what they would have done to him.

Because they don't investigate fake news.Let me remind you that Mueller is biased scumbag. He refused to investigate the IRS when the agency decided to stick it to conservative groups.

Congress has oversight.The Constitution authorizes three branches of government independent and co-equal.

No, it doesn't.
If one branch can interfere with another can
Trump appoint a special law clerk assigned to justice Roberts since obviously his ruling upholding Ocare evinces that he is not familiar with the constitution.
Can Trump appoint a special legislative Assistant for Schumer so that in the future he knows to vote to repeal Ocare?

You need to get off the right wing infotainment complex BS machine Bubs
The IRS scandal unwinds
"Rather than the Nixonian conspiracy that George Will and The Wall Street Journal editorial page so darkly warned about—with zero evidence—you have a routine bureaucratic procedure meant to bundle potentially problematic applicants together for further review."
The IRS scandal unwinds
On September 5, 2014, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released its report on the controversy. The subcommittee's majority report, authored by subcommittee chairman Senator Carl Levin and submitted for the subcommittee's Democrats, concurred with TIGTA's finding that inappropriate screening criteria were used but concluded that there was no intentional wrongdoing or political bias in the use of the criteria. The majority faulted TIGTA for omitting from its report that liberal groups were also selected for additional screening and that previous TIGTA inquiries found no indication of political bias at the IRS
Senate subcommittee: No political bias in IRS targeting
U.S. Senate investigators split on party lines over IRS scandal

You seem to be forget one thing. This is all being done within the executive branch. No one in congress or a court appointed Muller.

STFU
The most glaring example is, of course, the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal, which is connected to broader claims of corruption involving the Clinton Foundation. President Obama told 60 Minutes in 2015 that Clinton had simply made a mistake: “I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” he said. The media bought it — and so did the Department of Justice, despite a mountain of evidence that she had been “extremely careless,” as Comey put it later.
Another example that still rankles conservatives was the IRS scandal, where there were clear violations of federal law, including the deliberate leak of confidential taxpayer information to partisan groups, as well as violation of conservatives’ civil rights. Yet the Department of Justice let former IRS official Lois Lerner, and her bosses, off the hook, saying the IRS was merely guilty of “mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia” but no crimes.
There was also the Fast and Furious scandal, where the Obama administration, under the supervision of Attorney General Eric Holder, supervised the smuggling of weapons across the Mexican border, ostensibly to trace their path through drug cartels, but more likely as a pretext for gun control. Obama tried to use his executive privilege to cover up related documents, and Holder was held in contempt of Congress — but nothing more.
In the Stuxnet scandal, where the Obama administration leaked information about a computer virus that had been created to destroy Iranian nuclear centrifuges, the White House specifically rejected calls for a special counsel or special prosecutor. Retired Marine Corps General James E. Cartwright was eventually found guilty, but benefited from a lame-duck pardon by President Obama, setting a dangerous example for future leakers of national secrets.

We got here because the Podesta/Clinton axis was angry because Trump beat the pants out HRC which in heir criminal opinion showed that Trump doesn't play by the rules.
