If the judge applies the law as written then he should be.

The special counsel law that is in play today is different than under Nixon and Clinton. Today a crime has to have been alleged to be committed. No crime has been alleged against President Trump. Surely nobody is claiming that we needed a special counsel to try Paul Manafort? Additionally, the special counsel law as written today is supposed to be limited to avoid the Ken Star scenario.


But, will the judge cave to political pressure? If the judge rules Muellers probe unconstitutional, the left will lose its collective mind given it was a Trump appointed judge. Because that is how they think

We shall see.

Please cite where the law says a crime must be alleged? Your "source" is lacking.
 
§ 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and -

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.
