I’d prefer an independent prosecutor to prosecute the crimes that Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Bob Bauer, John Brennan and others have committed in order to put - and keep - him in the White House. It took a whole stinkin’ system to commit these crimes aqainst we the people, and the system needs a qood cleaninq.
And then we need to fiqure out effective ways to hold the system accountable to the people so that this never happens aqain.

The Independent Counsel authorizing statute was abolished in 1999. Without new legislation, only Eric Holder can appoint an Independent Counsel.
It has been Select Committees which collect the evidence to trigger the appointment of special prosecutors. Even a left wing nutcase like Janet Reno was forced to appoint Judge Kenneth Starr to look into all of Bill Clinton’s scandals which eventually resulted in his impeachment.
From Wikipedia: “A select or special committee of the United States Congress is a congressional committee appointed to perform a special function that is beyond the authority or capacity of a standing committee. A select committee is usually created by a resolution that outlines its duties and powers and the procedures for appointing members. Select and special committees are often investigative in nature, rather than legislative, though some select and special committees have the authority to draft and report legislation.”
“In the 1st Congress (1789–1791), the House appointed roughly 220 select committees over the course of two years. By the 3rd Congress (1793–95), Congress had three permanent standing committees, the House Committee on Elections, the House Committee on Claims, and the Joint Committee on Enrolled Bills, but more than 350 select committees. While the modern committee system is now firmly established in both House and Senate procedure, with the rules of each House establishing a full range of permanent standing committees and assigning jurisdiction of all legislative issues among them, select committees continue to be used to respond to unique and difficult issues as the need arises.”
I favor a Select Committee first and a Special Prosecutor second. Select Committees always trigger huge media attention to an issue.
