I think in the interests of transparency, there should be an independent prosecutor. However, it is possible that the appointment of an independent prosecutor could be challenged Constitutionally. It was challenged before, and upheld in Morrison v. Olson. It was challenged on the grounds that Congress's appointment of an independent prosecutor violates separation of powers because it involves the legislative branch taking on executive branch functions outside of proper checks and balances. The practice was upheld, with only Scalia dissenting, but many scholars after the fact have praised Scalia's dissent. It is looked at as prescient, forward looking, and likely legally correct today with the benefit of hindsight. It is very possible that if a similar challenge were to be brought against the Independent Counsel Act that it could be struck down as unconstitutional.
