The headline writer is confused. The Congress has no direct authority with respect to prosecution. The Independent Counsel has expired and it was unconstitutional anyway.
The problem with the appointment is that the Executive branch didn’t follow the law in doing so, for obvious reasons (because it’s a political prosecution).

Ok, since the Independent Counsel has expired, exactly how should the lawful procedure be to appoint one, if any?
