Sessions testified before Congress that he would not investigate Hillary Clinton and he would refuse an order from Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to do so. He has recused himself from most of what is important in his job: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/313509-sessions-pledges-to-recuse-himself-from-clinton-investigations
So can the order for an Independent Counsel come from someone else and if so who?
Also is it better to have an Independent Counsel here or an investigation without one?
