Andrew Miller, Roger Stone associate, challenges Mueller's authority in D․C. appeals court washingtontimes.com/news/2018/sep/… via @washtimes
“An attorney for Andrew Miller, an associate of President Trump’s former campaign adviser Roger Stone, filed a brief in federal appeals court early Wednesday challenging Robert Mueller’s appointment as special counsel.”
“Filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the brief by Miller’s attorney questioned Mr. Mueller’s authority — in light of Miller being held in contempt of court for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by Mueller’s office as part of its investigation into the 2016 race.”
““In sum, the purported appointment of the Special Counsel violated the Appointments Clause because the Special Counsel was required to be appointed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and not Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein,” Paul Kamenar argued in the brief.”
“While General Sessions may have recused himself from a certain investigation, he cannot divest himself of or delegate his constitutional duty to appoint the investigator,” Mr. Kamenar argued in the brief.”

A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.
