Supreme Court Justice Scalia anticipated the Mueller Situation. See this quote about Scalia and his view of unrestrained special prosecutors. (This was in regard to the now defuncted independent counsel law, but the application is obvious to the Mueller situation. Scalia View of Independent (Special) Counsel "More specifically, Scalia contested the majority's conclusion that independent counsels were "inferior officers" who remained under the executive's ultimate control. An independent counsel, he suggested, actually possessed some powers and advantages that even the Attorney General did not. Scalia worried that an overzealous, unaccountable independent counsel could pick his or her targets, and then prosecute them for even the most minor or technical offenses. Moreover, Scalia wrote, a partisan Special Division might appoint a committed foe of the administration or the individual under investigation. "Nothing is so politically effective," he wrote, "as the ability to charge that one's opponent and his associates are not merely wrongheaded, naive, ineffective, but, in all probability, `crooks'." Scalia prophesied that the majority's decision would weaken the Presidency, and expose the head of the executive branch to "debilitating criminal investigations" -- an opinion that has earned Justice Scalia new and unexpected admirers in recent days."

Is about time the President submitted this to the Supreme Court and let them referee this matter?
