Boehner has no power to appoint a special prosecutor. The only one who can do that is Eric Holder. Good luck.
Boehner has a lot of power he never uses. He could appoint a select committee on Benghazi, partially defund obamacare, engage obama directly re. IRS assaults on conservatives, etc., etc.
But that would require being an engaged opposition party, something he has no interest in doing. So instead we get this time wasting tip toe to the election strategy. It’s a proven loser game plan but that’s all he’s got.
“Boehner has a lot of power he never uses.”
True. But he can’t appoint a special prosecutor. I was responding to the suggestion that he could.
