No it's not. The Judiciary Committee rightfully wants to know why there was a special counsel appointed to investigate Trump, when there was no evidence of a crime but a few ragtag Democrats wanted it, but now the DOJ refuses to appoint one when the DOJ oversight committee is requesting it, and there is a greater possibility of a crime and cover up.
Robert Mueller has been a successful diversion to keep the conspirators focused on Trump while the DOJ builds its cases against them.
So you really believe this one MSNBC reporter is the only one who would be able to get this info, if Sessions had actually ordered it? And you think the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Trump was more deserving of an independent counsel, than an investigation of corruption in the DOJ itself is deserving of one?
On the other hand, Trump wanted Mueller appointed and had nothing to fear over "Russian collusion." Mueller stacked his staff with Swamp lawyers intent on crucifying Trump, and set them about looking for evidence of crimes that neither Trump nor his team ever committed. It was a honey pot and a brilliant diversion. The Swamp and most Americans have been watching the shiny object while AG Sessions has been working in secret. Classic Trump.
