A special counsel would still answer to the DOJ, so I’m not sure why these guys think it would be any different if a second special counsel is named.
I can see their logic. Mueller reports to DOJ too, but he is able to go places the normal process would not bother. A bit of resource avalability and intimidation involved.
No doubt it would be different. No two prosecutors are alike. The law is incredibly non-uniform.
“These guys” ( of which I align) know a signal when we see one. Some Utah Ute with a short resume “ain’t” it, as they say.
When a prosecutor’s only apparent attribute is his location, I want to laugh ‘til I cry.
Mueller’s politicly murderous mandate says SPECIAL COUNSEL. That title seems to matter.
We’ll have one of those too, please. Pass the mustard.
Could be that they believe an insider may work to cover up any wrongdoing while and independent prosecutor may actually be independent...
