That clause of the U.S. Constitution reads as follows...The Attorney general's office is subverting it. They are subverting the appointments clause of the Constitution (article 2, section 2).Oh? Who’s subverting the Constitution and what exactly are they subverting?Yes, the current witch hunt is politically motivated, as you are insinuating.Of course they didn’t. They never once complained about the cost. They never complained it took too long. They never complained about Starr being connected to the Paula Jones case. They never complained that events investigated over Whitewater occurred decades earlier. They never called it a witch hunt. They never demanded it be shut down.Exactly. The special counsel investigating Clinton was an open ended investigation. Bet you didn't complain about it then.
Payback’s a bitch, let me tell you.
That is actually why the law granting special powers of appointment were allowed to sunset. We are now openly subverting the Constitution. Happy?
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
... I’ve taken the liberty to highlight the relevant section which can render it Constitutional for a Special Counsel to be appointed by someone other than the president and without the consent of the Senate. That, however, would require the Congress to have passed such a law — which they did...
CFR › Title 28 › Chapter VI › Part 600: § 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and -
(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and
(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.
So it appears it was Constitutional for Rosenstein to appoint Mueller as Special Counsel as he did. The only argument against that would be if you could prove that Mueller is a principal officer since the Constitution only allows for the Congress to draft such laws as title 28 chapter VI § 600.1 if they apply to inferior officers.
Steven Calabresi of Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law tried to establish that argument but he failed miserably. Let’s see if you can do any better than a law professor....
Trump could order him to, it’s within his power to do so. Why do you think he hasn’t?
Because he’s playing you morons like the dupes you are.
The quickest way to impeachment would be for Trump to fire Robert Mueller or Rod Rosenstein. Personally I would love to see him do it-lol. You Trump tards ready need to study up on Richard Nixon & Watergate history.
Sessions can't fire anyone as he recused himself from the Russian investigation long ago for lying to Congress.
The Code of Federal Regulations, which you have cited from (600.1), is not law in itself. It is the codification of law. The question reverts back to you. What law is being codified by CFR 600.1?That clause of the U.S. Constitution reads as follows...The Attorney general's office is subverting it. They are subverting the appointments clause of the Constitution (article 2, section 2).Oh? Who’s subverting the Constitution and what exactly are they subverting?Yes, the current witch hunt is politically motivated, as you are insinuating.Of course they didn’t.

Nope, it is you who are wrong. When agencies like the FBI, SEC, and FEC spot suspicious activity that could be tied to a crime, they investigate.For all those who posted that investigations happen all the time with no charges and no evidence of a crime-You Are Wrong
Because his own party has threatened to begin impeachment proceedings, if he did so. Damn son, pay attention!Trump could order him to, it’s within his power to do so. Why do you think he hasn’t?

Cadet Bone Spurs... Mister Five-Time-Draft-Dodger... doesn't understand the concepts of personal courage and honor....That's because Trump is a coward.

He is intellectually and ethically and morally unfit for high office.
He is what happens when Spoiled Little Rich Boy meets a Lack of Palatable Alternatives.
Trump is in the extreme panic mode!
===============================================
WASHINGTON — President Trump called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday to end the special counsel investigation, an extraordinary appeal to the nation’s top law enforcement official to end an inquiry directly into the president.
Mr. Trump’s lawyers quickly elaborated on the president’s message, saying it was not an order to a member of his cabinet, but merely an opinion.
Trump Calls on Sessions to ‘Stop the Rigged Witch Hunt Right Now’
"Merely an opinion".
Really? If nothing, this will truly ignite the Little Trumpsters.
"Collusion? There was no collusion".
To "collusion isn't a crime." That's panic.
So if you're so opposed to all those things, then on principle you're opposed to the current costly, lengthy, conflict of interest "investigation, right ? Right ?Of course they didn’t. They never once complained about the cost. They never complained it took too long. They never complained about Starr being connected to the Paula Jones case. They never complained that events investigated over Whitewater occurred decades earlier. They never called it a witch hunt. They never demanded it be shut down.
Payback’s a bitch, let me tell you.
Hillary isn't being paid by the government, but her spies and fixers are everywhere in Washington.Pot meet kettle....to delude yourself. Good for you.
Hillary ran a lousy campaign and she lost.
Now she's trying to get even.
So, keep deluding yourself.
You must have a reason.
Are you gay?
Hillary's with you.
Now she's trying to get even.
"She" is not part of the government.

This post is the essence of ignorance and stupidity. Hillary as the all-present demon.
Your economy is being torched in a tariff war. Employment is slowing. The rest of the world is laughing at your stupidity.
And you’re going “but Hillary”.
LOL, you're the idiot who thinks the US is more oppressive than any Islamic Nation. There is no reason to entertain anything you say.
I love it when idiots launch into their “neener, neener” posts. It shows how much they regret the Trump Presidency. Other than “he’s not Hillary”, you’ve got nothing.
You’ve got an incompetent idiot in the White House who is destroying your economy with his phony trade war and your world standing. He’s helping Russia divide and destroy your nation and its integrity.
It’s all crashing down around you and you’re ever more loudly proclaiming “He’s not Hillary”. No, he’s a batshit crazy idiot in the pocket of the Russians.
The rest of the world is watching America destroy itself with hatred and animus. Weasels in a barrel.
But people are suffering and dying for your entertainment. When Trump is removed from office, your country has been so diminished by him, you may never recover.

WHAT "irony" ?^ Irony
Yeah ? And what "crime" is that ? Got a US Code # ? Got a name ?The Russian operation is the crime, fool.
The investigation is to identify the players.
Trump could order him to, it’s within his power to do so. Why do you think he hasn’t?
Because he’s playing you morons like the dupes you are.

You need to stop listening to fake news. Yes Trump could be impeached, he can be impeached for anything Congress wants. Impeachment doesn’t mean he gets removed from office. You can’t remove him for doing something he has the legal authority to do. Sessions might not be able to fire him but Rosenstein can.
