CREW statement on Judge Cannon ruling

In response to Judge Cannon ruling the appointment of the Special Counsel was unconstitutional, CREW President Noah Bookbinder, a former federal corruption prosecutor, released the following statement:

"This is a lawless, outlier decision with no basis in statute or case law. It is deeply dangerous for accountability and checks and balances going forward. This decision should and assuredly will be appealed immediately. It endangers the very concept of ensuring the most powerful people in government have to follow the law."
