But... Mueller isn't a cabinet level position. And is an impartial investigator. How is this at all similar.

You don’t need a reference to use inductive reasoning to infer that the same positions in government have been confirmed for a long time.

But what the hell, I’ll google that for you (even though it should be your responsibility to do your own research before trying to cast doubt on established institutions).

First hit, a very thorough Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_positions_filled_by_presidential_appointment_with_Senate_confirmation#cite_ref-1

I know, you’re going to say that Wikipedia isn’t peer reviewed, right? But all I had to do is scroll down to the bottom to find multiple trusted sources for this basic information (if you visit the site you can actually click on the links, crazy!). I shouldn’t have wasted my time in an effort to dispel silly internet nonsense, but I wouldn’t people to read your comment and think it had merit.

Here you go:
