The law that establishes the jurisdiction of the Special Counsel is 28 CFR 600.4. That section states that the Attorney General has the responsibility to establish the jurisdiction of the Special Counsel. Furthermore, 28 CFR 600.1 specifies that there must be an underlying crime that the Special Council is empowered to investigate. That means that Mueller is operating outside the law because:
1. there is no stated crime that he can investigate.
2. he is now attempting to branch away from his mandate by investigating Trump's business dealings, which he is not authorized to do.
Therefore, Rosenstein or Trump can instruct Mueller to end his investigation.
Mueller has hired a bunch of Democrats who are doing opposition research. This is not allowed under the statues.
