There’s just no reason to avoid a Special Counsel.
A lot of sites trying to justify this convoluted mix and inferring imaginary motives that don’t explain why they refuse a Special Counsel.
They want absolute control. Protect the JusticeFBI, that’s priority one.

You may be right and I have leaned towards another SC. However, to play devils advocate - you put all your marbles in one basket with a SC who has wide latitude to act or not act as he/she sees fit. Who would be the SC? Would another SC not appear as partisan (through his own fault) as the one we currently have?
At the outset, it appears having two “Obama appointees: (yes, the US Atty is usually pushed by the states senators) makes them appear far less partisan. There are still good men and women in DOJ who want to do the right thing. Sadly, within the swamp of DC it appears there was a select group who tainted the process with politics.
At this point, all we can do is wait and see and hope justice is served. A small part of me respects that a good investigation is not one that suffers continuous leaks to the media. It is done quietly and competently with little fanfare. That is my hope and I wonder if we are not perhaps too used to the leaking partisan mess that our nations capital has become that the absence of such a public mess convinces us that nothing is being done.
