I am not playing with semantics. This is all constitutional stuff. Separation of powers and all that. Left wingers think Article III judges can make law. Right wingers think Congress can enforce laws. Both are wrong and when you write that “Congress can appoint a special prosecutor/independent counsel” that is false. Similarly when you write that Congress has veto power over the selection of same by Article 3 courts that is also false.
Not to meantion that the entire idea of special prosecutors is one that sucks because they have no checks and balances.

Blah Blah Blah...fantasy
When leadership in Congress wants to appoint, authorize, compel, install a special prosecutor/independent counsel, they are going to do it. And they are going to do it over your petty objections. If you have a problem with that, go find a tree to argue with.
