Bill,
You seem to want to take legal shortcuts to get Trump.
"Legal shortcut"? LOL, Cannon needlessly threw the case into a loop.

There was no impropriety behind Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel. His appointment follows years of precedent beginning with U.S. vs. Nixon:
Under the authority of Article II, Section 2, Congress has vested in the Attorney General the power to conduct the criminal investigation of the U.S. government. It has also vested in him the power to appoint subordinate officers to assist him in the discharge of his duties. Acting pursuant to those statutes, the Attorney General has delegated the authority to represent the United States in the particular matters to a Special Prosecutor with unique authority and tenure. The regulation gives the Special Prosecutor explicit power to contest the invocation of executive privilege in the process of seeking evidence deemed relevant to the performance of these specially delegated duties.
What Judge Cannon did was come up with a completely new standard for appointing Special Counsel. She doesn't give any good reason why she had to override precedent, other than she felt like it.

This is the sort of "judicial activism" that conservatives hate ... until it benefits them. (Kind of like how everyone hates lawyers until they need one.)
