Based on his comments here, I suspect not.
Legally, there is almost no distinction anymore between a "special counsel" and an ordinary Federal prosecutor.
A lot of people complaining that a special counsel is needed here seem to think the old independent counsel statute is still in force. It's not.
For example, the email that implicated Obama's cheif of staff had been redacted by the DOJ, to remove that implication.
The point you make is very well taken though. The added "whatever" of a SC isn't much.
The general public is past wearied with this show that never ends. The subpoenas ignored, the play acting of seeing evil against ONE SIDE, after squandering a year of the damned obvious flooding the building.
Justice delayed is JUSTICE DENIED.
Have the Swamp runners and the opining intellectual class not figured out that this endless defining of terms and titles, processes and options, all running the clock out on America, is at such a level of the ridiculous it’s a mockery, by now considered gaseous, grossly flatulent at best, and treason at worst?
