why do they need lawyers ? shouldn’t they be hiring investigators ?
The FBI supplies the investigators.
Given the enormous size of the legal team in the Special Counsel's office, there may be dozens of FBI special agents assigned to matters the Special Counsel is investigating.
As far as people wondering whether Mueller will investigate Hillary or some other non-Trump person, the answer is no.
His jurisdiction is to investigate only links or coordination between the Trump campaign (including obviously Trump himself) and the Russians.
No particular crime is specified. In theory, he can look at anything in Trump's life or businesses, because a Russian link might appear anywhere.
How about a warrant to search the closets in Mar-A-Lago? Sure, that's not out of the question because a Russian in theory could be hiding in the closet.
But in theory Mueller does not have authorization to investigate the Clintons or the Awans or unmasking or anything other than Trump and others on the Trump campaign.
Appointing a Special Counsel in the absence of a crime is a violation of DOJ regulations, and the entire investigation is a travesty, but you have the entire Democrat party and the entire GOPe Donor Class and their hired Senators and Congressmen supporting this.
Lawyers have investigators who work for their agenda.
Excellent question. You need investigators when there are crimes. You need lawyers to make up crimes.
They got Barney Fife on the job.
