It's not a violation of the law, but if it were, Republicans are in charge. Why don't they fix it?
It is a violation of Law, and I heard a Constitutional Lawyer and Supreme Court litigant cite the specific Law that governs the appointment of Special Counsel this morning, and he quoted from it.
I'll post it one more time, maybe YOU will understand.
Mueller is special investigator for RUSSIA investigation. Comey is not under investigation. His firing is not even the subject of the investigation. There is no conflict. Mueller is investigating POTENTIAL Russian interference with the US Election. Just about ANYONE at a level that is qualified to run this investigation probably knows and has worked with Comey, and certainly has relationships with other players in the intelligence community.
Are you a lawyer? Didn't think so.
I was listening to a Constitutional Lawyer this morning discussing this issue, and he is the one who said it is a violation of the Law concerning the appointment of Special Counsel, because he and Comey have a close personal relationship. He cited the specific Law and quoted from it. Mueller never should have accepted the position, and Comey shouldn't have been allowed to testify since his close personal friend, Mueller, was Special Counsel. Comey was appearing as a witness.

Can always find a lawyer to argue any side of any issue. That is pretty much the definition of a lawyer.

So you think Constitutional Lawyers have a pretty good understanding of what is appropriate and what is not with regards to the Presidency? That's interesting.
I bet I can think of at least one Constitutional Lawyer (US Born, BTW) who would differ.
What is interesting is this is the same guy behind the Star investigations and the same one that praised Mueller when he was appointed. Why anyone gives Newt the time of day is amazing, the guy is a hack that changes his opinion with the wind, or the appoint of his wife to a nice job.

Exactly. Anyone who did not know these players would not operating at a level required to run this investigation.
Comey is not under investigation, so his relationship with Mueller is a moot point.
Hard not to wonder if people don't comprehend this or are they deliberately trying to muddy the waters.
It's an admission of guilt to be sure, but if Trump fires Mueller, will the GOP back his play?
Republicans are showing a little gumption with the Russian sanction legislation they are working on. Hope they don't get carried away and dump Trump prematurely.
If anyone has to explain it, you would never understand.
