Sessions to consider 2nd special counsel
Posted on 3/7/18 at 2:01 pm

Asked whether he thought there should be a second special counsel investigation into the alleged abuse of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) procedures by the Department of Justice with regard to surveillance of associates of President Donald Trump, Sessions said he would “consider” it, even though the Inspector General’s office was “the a normal place for such a complaint to go.”

Trump must have ripped Session a new one.
He has been on a tear lately.

If there was a real case to be made he would have appointed one a year ago. There is 0 reason for him to have waited this long if he really thought they would dig anything substantial up.

The whole 2nd counsel thing is just political. Congress has investigation resources and subpoena power. They could easily get to the bottom of this if it was that important. Congressional oversight exists for a reason.
The only reason this call is out there is to taint Mueller investigation.

Congress just made the case for him, yesterday.

Zero reason except a congressional request based on their findings.

Republican controlled Congressional oversight. If there was a case it would have been made long ago.

Congress has a lot less investigative power than the DOJ. Congress can't indict. Congress can't haul people in front of a grand jury. Congress can't prosecute. And congress is not independent...they are full of hackery.

That seems a bit short-sighted. Seems to me that since Mueller's investigation is looking for collusion in the Trump campaign, someone should be looking into the glaring evidence of collusion in the HRC campaign. I understand the IG is doing this, but he is limited in areas that a 2nd special counsel is not.
If we honestly are looking at how our election was influenced by the Russians, we should be looking at both.

Absolutely nothing will happen to Hillary and Obama.

Less considering, more doing.

Until I see otherwise, what I truly believe Sessions will say is this:
"After much deliberation and careful consideration, and after listening to all sides, I have decided that a special counsel is not needed at this point in time."

As if the whole Mueller thing isn’t.

a) Congress does have a lot less investigative power than the DOJ, but what congress does have is the ability to hold public hearings. So even if crimes were not committed (clue, they weren't), they could highlight issues in the process.
b) congress could pass a law tomorrow or frick today to limit the FISA warrant process or demand they turn over the warrant. The fact that they haven't is telling.

c) I am glad you view Mueller's probe as independent and not full of hackery.

rod rosenstein was appointed by trump and he is the one that called for the special counsel. A republican nominated someone who appointed a republican to investigate a republican campaign.
Will the democrats use the output of the investigation to try to win votes. Yeah, sure. but so fricking what?

And yet another one still looking at this from a Democrat/Republican perspective.
