The point is he doesn’t need his AG to appoint a special counsel when he could do it himself.
Mueller, rosenweaseal and that rat bastard Jeff Sessions should’ve been fired the minute they instigated the special counsel coup against Trump but Trump was advised against it by his deep-state compromised white house counsel and threatened by his own party if he did so.
There should be an independent AG and the AG should appoint or assign prosecutors as needed to go after wrongdoing — wherever it is ... regardless of party.
Any reasonable AG would go after Hillary and the Clinton Foundation. No need for Trump to do anything.
