I think if you look more deeply at the history of special counsels, you will see that this issue has been raised before and dealt with differently in different cases.
Besides which, a litigant would need to raise this issue in court for it to be litigated.
If this particular issue does come before SCOTUS, then we'll see how the justices rule.
- ceejayoz 2y ago> If this particular issue does come before SCOTUS, then we'll see how the justices rule. We got a pretty decent preview. Thomas's concurrence pretty clearly indicates he tried to get them to sign on to the concept during deliberation; its separate existence also indicates he was unsuccessful at convincing them. I don't see much in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_counsel#Current_regulations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_counsel#Current_regula... that supports your claim that this has been adjudicated any time recently. Care to highlight a case?
