Not being versed in comparing political/Congressional methods, I sincerely don’t know the best way to legally attack this. Could you explain in simple language why a Special Prosecutor is better than the Select Commitee? Does a S.C. have Subpoena powers?
Too bad FR doesn’t have the views per thread function it used to have, maybe not a lot of people have seen this thread. So much horrible news.
Well, the thumbnail is this:
A Select Committee will be a subset of the House. This means there will be a whole drawn-out partisan battle over who gets on it, just to start. This will take months. Votes. Then, the committee will decide from whom they will take testimony. There will be arguments on every single witness, with court battles. And votes. All of this in secret, by the way. Eventually we will get to the part we get to see on CSPAN. And nobody will watch.
A good Special Prosecutor would not be like Ken Starr. That was poorly done. A proper Special Prosecutor would actually track down the worst crime, and not be drawn up tiny tributaries. What happened here? Who knew? When? Then what did they do?
We have a carpload of questions here.
We’re 9-10 months down the road by now.
