When Americans think of a special prosecutor, Kenneth Starr usually comes to mind. His investigation of President Bill Clinton in the 1990s led to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and impeachment proceedings, in the process turning Starr into a household name.
Two decades later, in the wake of James Comey’s firing, Democrats are calling for an independent investigation into the ties between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. But special investigators lack much of the power and autonomy that Starr enjoyed in the Clinton era. Even if Democrats get their wish, an independent probe would have less power — and less independence — than many realize.

I would love to see Rudy Giuliani be the prosecutor.

Suddenly, PBS is interested in how to appoint a special prosecutor!
Funny, they have been completely uninterested in potential special prosecutors for years, even through the investigation of IRS targeting of conservatives, Fast and Furious misdeeds, Benghazi lies, Obama’s Secretary of State being caught with classified info on her private server, etc. etc.!
where was the “special prosecutor” for...
fast and furious?
Bengazi?
IRS going after tea party groups?
Rudy is an icon on Staten Island :)
But I fear he is tired and battle weary from 9/11, the cancer, fighting for Trump from the start and attending every fireman’s funeral in those dark days.
I know he’s no a conservative i the sense that we are but he’s given much to our country and I think it’s time for him to enjoy these years :)
Dang I thought we might get Lawrence welsh and his bubble machine again. But yeah that law was terrible and had a sunset clause of memory serves me
Translation: democrats are giving up on creating something out of nothing.
Plus...it’s now called Independent Council. They are living in the past and in a dream world.

Not true. In the Valerie Plame investigation there was no crime.
Well, that makes eminent sense.
