Seems the Special Counsel has admitted he has unchecked authority and the final say
Friedrich pressed prosecutor Dreeban to explain what, if any, Justice Department regulations exist that serve as a check on Mueller’s authority.
“What kind of standard is it for Mr. Mueller or anyone else,” Friedrich asked.
Dreeban did not specify the precise regulations or policies at issue, but assured the court that the special counsel follows them and regularly consults with Rosenstein on major prosecutorial developments.
But Friedrich appeared skeptical at times that sufficient power exists to check the authority of Mueller, who can only be removed for good cause. She questioned whether Rosenstein could intervene if he disagreed with a prosecutorial decision made by Mueller, and if he could take action in the event of a minor disagreement.
In the latter case, Friedrich asked who makes the call.
“Under the regulation, as drafted, it seems like the special counsel does,” Friedrich said.
