How much are we trusting Linda these days?
New man or new face?
I guess time will tell.
Why the need for a special counsel?
This is theater. Investigations are already ongoing. OIG has been looking into this for some time.
Should have been done a LONG TIME AGO..just DO IT already
Sounds like a job for Huber !
Where was Graham when the FISA court renewal was rushed through Congress? It was widely suspected at the time that the Obama admin had abused the Fisa system and yet Graham didn’t say a word.
Given that I fully believe there is no thing of substance to Graham’s posturing here. This is just another Gowdyesque beltway theater performance leading to nothing.
We need Senate hearings on Traitor Roberts’ lack of oversight of the FISA Court Judges and process.
Let’s just invent a new branch of government.
The Perpetual Prosecutor!!!!!
Pointless.
Another two years of investigation, people are already tired of it.
Linda is the only one who benefits from this.
Yeah really. What is good for the goose is good for the gander
HA!
Handing something off to a special council is like tabling it into the next life. To hell with that.
There’s plenty of evidence to keep investigators hot on the trail of these folks through normal means.
Assign teams to go after them. Then get out of the way and let them take everyone down that deserves it.
Assign numerous teams to investigate all manner of things we know took place.
I'd like convictions, and jail time.
Much better idea to open a Federal Grand Jury.
Faster and more effective.
Better mean it bitch and don’t let Trey Gowdy anywhere near this...
Graham is calling for a ‘Special Counsel’. but so far, the White House has only called for “Congressional Hearings”. The Democrats laugh at weakness.
We will probably find a way to screw it up, but I have to say I LOVE it!!!
Personally, I come down on the side for the need for a special counsel.
At the rank-and-file level, the DOJ is stuffed to the gills with weird agenda radicals hired under Obama. I just don’t see how an investigation that relies on the regular lawyers in the US Attorneys’ offices won’t be completely compromised and sabotaged from the start, with daily leaks to the press and to the targets.
On the other hand, picking a Special Counsel who is an establishment hack like Jamie Gorelick or Al Gonzalez or just about every other name that comes to mind would be worse than just having the US Attorneys’ offices do it.
And remember, once threads start getting pulled on in the investigation we will quickly find ourselves bumping up against the intel establishments from the UK, Oz, Italy, Israel, etc. as well as powerful oligarchs who all have their protectors among the US political class. Very dicey territory.
The only way I see the corrupt Deep State being brought to heel and wrongdoers held to account is a very strong, non-establishment special counsel with a carefully-selected FBI team.

Great—the coup plotters can pull out their copy of the “Lindsay Graham blackmail files” in case needed.
It is a good thing we have electronic media these days—otherwise they would need a whole building to store all the files...
:-(
1) Don’t tell “WILL”, nor “may”, nor “might”, nor...and expect me to give you a cookie. Tell me when it’s been D-O-N-E and *then* we can discuss how the ‘scales have balanced’ vs. merit.
2) The failure of B. Barr of cleaning out the hold-overs\refuse\Deep State, else, we’d have been hearing the ‘horror’ stories via the Left MSM, doesn’t give me the warm & fuzzies in the least. And, IIRC, knowing the request can be circular-filed by the AG even less.
