I know, it's in the over the top the Washington Post, but this article is from the horse's mouth. Neal Katyal confirms my impression of the difference now, and strangely enough my general opinion about it as well.<br /><br />"Our first decision was to let the Independent Counsel Act expire on June 30, 1999. Independence sounds good in theory, but in practice, it is mutually exclusive with accountability. The more independence you give a prosecutor, the less you make that prosecutor accountable to the public and regular checks and balances. And so we had seen the investigations and mandates of independent counsels mushroom, becoming a headless fourth branch of government."<br /><br />I kind of wish I'd written it that way.<br /><br />"At the same time, everyone understood the need for a prosecutor to take the reins when the Justice Department faced a conflict of interest or an appearance of impropriety. ... Mueller operates as a subordinate to the Justice Department, not as Rosenstein’s equal"<br /><br />So there's the difference, and I expect the Democrats' problem. I disagree with them, even though Meuller will be subordinate in the Justice Department, he may operate independently enough for an objective investigation while having some checks against the broadening of scope that has plagued previous Special Investigations<br /><br /><br />wphamiltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548360050548401665.post-83993096979028516362017-05-19T09:43:14.313-05:002017-05-19T09:43:14.313-05:00Sycophant CH wishing.....

Granted that's difficult to prosecute.<br /><br />Your questions seem to be an attempt to narrow the focus. Narrowly inquiring about collusion with Russia in hacking the DNC for instance. <br /> While that's generally a good idea in a technical legal defense, I think that it's missing the mark here. This is about more than what the Russians might or might not have done to Clinton and Wasserman in the DNC and what part Trump might have played.<br /><br />The important questions deal more generally with whether Trump or any of his staff crossed the line in acting as agents, and what Trump has done about it subsequently. Was anyone paid, money, promises, favors from either side? Were these contacts improperly hidden? Did Trump or his staff try to improperly suppress investigations by the lawful authority into these questions?<br /><br />Whether or NOT Trump's campaign aid offered policy concessions for political cyber-attacks, Trump would like to keep that hidden under the rock. If he actively obstructed the investigations, then he's got a real problem. wphamiltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548360050548401665.post-47468922983344391202017-05-19T08:24:54.738-05:002017-05-19T08:24:54.738-05:00"Wouldn't collusion to commit a crime gen..."Wouldn't collusion to commit a crime generally take place "before" the crime rather than after?"<br /><br />Not if it's Trump, with his supernatural powers and all....Loretta https://www.blogger.com/profile/03888424844344384091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548360050548401665.post-51752253719004689732017-05-19T07:51:17.862-05:002017-05-19T07:51:17.862-05:00You forgot LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL...You forgot LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL <br /><br /><br />Fat insignificant troll.

Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that — without an appropriate purpose. I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there and so you ought to stop investing resources in it. But I’m talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.
