Seventeen Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), submitted a resolution Tuesday demanding the appointment of a second special counsel to probe “misconduct” by Justice Department and FBI officials during the 2016 presidential election.
~~~
The 12-page resolution requested the Justice Department to appoint a second special counsel to probe matters associated to three topics: the ending of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, the progress of the Trump-Russia investigation from its “origins through the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel, and abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) during the warrant application process.”

Only way to know is to ask.
“We don’t have time for interminable investigations with no actual results.”
Exactly. Empanel a Grand Jury, NOW. Get things moving. Arrest about 25 people before Halloween. Another SC could possibly be worse than Mueller and it would drag out for two more years.
Yep.
Grand jury right damn now.
Enough of this sh*t!
What I see in s a likely troll.
I believe it’s trivial exercise that they do. It’s not an explicit enumeration but it seems certain that more would agree it is an implicit right. Congress can delegate,but it can’t give up any of its rights and responsibility. It always owns the product.
Back your accusation with specific evidence!
Looks to me like Sessions is already on top of this.
Although they've been doing it for way too long, Congress, the legislative branch, cannot constitutionally commandeer or delegate its rights and responsibility to another branch, in this case, the DOJ, part of the executive branch. It denies the clear constitutional intent of separation of powers.
The issue is not that a "special counsel" must be an expressed enumerated power - there are lots of constitutional federal acts and personnel not expressed as an enumeration of power - only that they are "necessary and proper" (N&P) to carry out those enumerated powers. This "special counsel" is not one of those N&P acts IMO because among other things it violates separation of powers and also allows Congress to do what they do best - skirt the politically-volatile issue issue and leave it to some unelected someone in another branch.
The proof of these extra/un-constitutional federal moves is in the pudding in the extraordinary conflict of interest that immediately arises when the DOJ investigates itself.
Yes a good idea.
Duel or more investigations going at the same time against the deep state. The IG, Special Prosecutor(s), Huber, Congress, and the kitchen sink too. They can compare notes so that they don’t miss nothing.
Guy signs up with an offensive screen name and immediately begins posting items with altered headlines into Breaking News. Suspicious behavior.
I’m well aware of Turley’s position. I’ve also done a fair amount of reading about Huber. I’m keenly underwhelmed.
Yes.
The Dems and Deep State will have run out the clock by the midterms if Dems take the House.
A potential “someday” special counsel is like we heard about Bill & Hillary in the 1990s-—just any minute now the big revelations will result in bombshell indictments of them. Arkansas State Trooper eyewitness accounts, college student who had a job shredding the subpoenad Hillary Rose Law firm records, and on and on.
SO frustrating.
Only if WE are still playing by the rules.
They aren’t.
Interesting!
How is being proud, White, and a Trump Supporter offensive?
There is a prosecutor working with the IG. His name is Huber and he is out in Utah, well away from the DC swamp.
I think you are mistaken delegate with relinquish. I believe that Congress can decide to and exercise its action through action and inaction. That's a negative affirmation interpretation. If Congress fails to act, then they are in effect delegating authority to the executive branch.
However in the end Congress owns the product and use its power to nullify and fix.
Sessions is part of the Swamp!!!!
Why don’t you address how you just showed up yesterday?
