Quick question for the lawyers on DKos.
Suppose DJT does fire Mueller as Special Counsel. I presume someone else will take his place in the investigation, since firing Mueller isn’t the same as shutting down the investigation.
Here’s the question:
Could that new Special Counsel simply hire Mueller to be part of his team and continue the investigation uninterrupted?
Extra bonus question:
Since the rules guiding the Special Counsel provision are actually part of the DoJ regulations, is it true that DJT could simply eliminate that regulation and shut the whole thing down as part of a de-regulation move?
