Who gets to pick the special counsel, and is that the same thing as a special prosecutor?

Holder will resign his office and then Obama will pick him as Special Counsel.

Uh oh. It wouldn't be this guy would it?

The Office of Special Counsel in the United States Department of Justice replaced the former Office of the Independent Counsel in 1999. It is charged with investigating alleged misconduct in the federal government's executive branch. The current Special Counsel is Patrick Fitzgerald, who was appointed in 2003 by Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey.
