President Trump employed a novel tactic in attacking special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election Monday, calling the very appointment of a special counsel "totally unconstitutional."

The appointment of the Special Councel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Despite that, we play the game because I, unlike the Democrats, have done nothing wrong!

The tweet comes after Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told HuffPost Sunday that Trump "could have shot" former FBI director James Comey — rather than firing him — and he could not be prosecuted for the murder while in office.

"In no case can he be subpoenaed or indicted," Giuliani said. "I don't know how you can indict while he's in office. No matter what it is."

Since joining Trump’s legal team, Giuliani has aggressively defended an extremely broad interpretation of executive power, repeatedly insisting that Trump — regardless of the circumstances surrounding his firing of Comey — could not possibly have obstructed justice because of his position as the chief executive.
