can someone explain this to me.
Is there some special protocol whereby only the Chairman is suppose to call for a Special Prosecutor???

good question. A special prosecuter can be called for by the Attorney General or Congress. Next question is does it have to go to a vote in Congress or can just any congresscritter ask for one? We certainly can’t let Holder assign one.
My question as well. Who has the power to see that a Special Prosecutor is appointed?

It seems weaselly to me too, but maybe there is some sort of protocol that the Senate stays out of House business. I wouldn’t worry though. Issa is itching to go after the administration on this for good reason.
BTW, Grassley is still alive? This dude is a spineless POS. Why doesn’t he retire and fully disappear?
Only the Chairman can issue subpoenas, so I assume the same is true for calling for a SP.
Grassley, as Ranking Member, can do neither.
