Appointing a special counsel for Clinton would damage the Justice Department
The Justice Department’s declaration that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is considering appointing a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton in response to demands by Republicans should alarm anyone who cares about the independence of the department.
(snip)
As a former U.S. attorney who now teaches criminal law and national security, I find the department’s letter troubling for three reasons. First, the response tends to undermine the Justice Department’s independence by suggesting that it makes investigative decisions based on political considerations. The Department of Justice has a proud history of being independent from political partisanship. In fact, the department has a policy precluding its personnel from communicating directly with Congress or the White House except at the very highest levels, to prevent any political meddling in charging decisions. This letter, to the contrary, harms public confidence in the department’s commitment to making investigative decisions based on facts and law instead of political considerations. Even the appearance of pandering to political demands by Congress damages public confidence in the department’s objectivity. If the letter were only responding to Congress, it would be odd enough. But Trump has made public comments about investigating Clinton that make the department’s actions even more ominous. Trump has recently said that it was “very discouraging” that Justice was not “going after Hillary Clinton.” This letter creates the perception that federal prosecutors are either taking orders from the president or seeking to curry favor with him by acceding to his wishes.

I don't care who you are, if you don't think that's hilarious you have no sense of the absurd.
Yeah, well, ya see that was THEN and this is NOW . . .

WAPO worked with Strzok, Page, and Yates to get a Special Counsel for Trump.
They then pushed for No Special Counsel for Hillary, Huma, and the boys…
Now, they’re reveling in a Special Conusel for Trump.
This Special Counsel, Smith, is good friends with Andrew Weismann, who no doubt made the recommendation.

Re: Sessions protecting DC insiders like Clintons....
He probably thought it would endanger democracy to do what domestic terrorists wanted. Can’t have that.
Many dirty players on both sides protecting their criminal thiefdom under a larger criminal syndicate

Yeah, they had something on Sessions and milked it for everything.

Biden’s are Swamp Royalty.
Just like Clinton’s.
Remember that one Benghazi hearing? The Republicans used their time telling Hillary how proud they were of her “service.”

I thought this was the Bee!
Hack Smith !!!! haha!
Yes some of those lavish elite parties are really meetings of the Two Families of DC-——Republicrats and Democans.
Favors with the promise of someday perhaps a return favor.
Just remember... All the rules are only to use against us.
That clown looks like a crook.
