What? A second special counsel to investigate the ACTUAL crimes and ACTUAL violations of the Espionage Act committed by numerous ‘RATS?
Whoever heard of such a thing,
We need to let these few we appreciate thete efforts
It’s about time! Wonder how many bodies are going to start piling up?
Is the IRS wench mentioned?
I don’t understand why the normal due process of law is not sufficient to deal with this issue. What role can a “special counsel” fill here that can’t be filled by DoJ prosecutors in the normal course of their duties?
Rip Van Sessions is not going to do a damn thing.
They also need a Special Councel to investigate Mueller and Rosenstein.
LOCK THEM UP. Lawlessness begets lawlessness.
“The Law”...
The Complete Perversion of the Law
But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.

It'll NEVER happen.
The glaring fact that Sessions hasn’t long ago called for such an investigation - and the need for the Judiciary to call for one - is testimony that he has no intentions of so doing.
It looks like the Committee has nailed the subjects/avenues that need investigation.
‘Won’t hold my breath on the announcement of such an investigation.
(In the meantime, Sessions is off to el Salvador for further ‘investigating’ the gangs he’s after. Great, as far as it goes. But on the list of things that need IMMEDIATE attention, that falls off the page.
If this coup-committee isn’t stopped, nothing else will matter. Smacks to me of a reverse dereliction of duty and ‘misdirection.” . Get so busy putting out brush fires that his total lack of taking care of the Forest fire isn’t seen through the smoke.

Watch the Democrats cry foul. They will be all over the the place complaining that the Republicans ate doing this just to go on a witch hunt to obfuscate and destroy Hillary Clinton and take away the spotlight off trump. The fact that real crimes have been committed by Obama, Hillary, Lynch, Comey and other Democrats just seems to slip their pea brained minds.
Interesting the names of people who did not sign on to this, including Trey Gowdy.
What about the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Republicans?
None of the cited proposed investigations requires a Special Counsel.
The DOJ has NO CONFLICTS or potential conflicts to undertake these investigations of past office holders and candidates.
Jeff Session should just DO HIS JOB!!!
How is Mueller’s investigation ‘limited in scope’? If he’s investigating Trump’s private business going back years, he appears to have WAY TOO MUCH latitude!
I second this motion.
