-> There you go again trolling me. We don’t know what investigations are ongoing since the DOJ cannot confirm or deny their existence.

There you go changing the subject again. I specifically mentioned Special Counsels, as did the source you cited that I was responding to, so the context was perfectly clear until you tried to change it. Care to respond again to my (and the President’s!) accusation of hypocrisy in the context of the appointment of Special Counsels?

-> Collusion is not a crime. It never was and still is not. This is all manufactured by the Obama administration and Deep State. They want to overturn an election. The real scandal is that we had a President using the resources of the intelligence community to attack and discredit a political opponent. It attacks the very foundation of our Republic. Where is the outrage from the Reps? It is not there save for a few people. The GOPe is not going to protect Trump and prefer to let him twist slowly in the wind.

-> My thoughts exactly. And the travesty of it all is they got a Special Prosecutor, but Sessions and the DoJ keep blocking any request for another one to investigate the previous admin and Clinton’s well-known crimes such as destroying evidence.

And it MUST be an independent counsel, because many in the DoJ would likely be implicated, starting with the top FBI agent on Mueller’s team that led the supposed Hillary investigation.

Special counsels/prosecutors are fraught with dangers. The Robert Fiske/Ken Starr investigation lasted over four years.

January 1994 - Attorney General Janet Reno appoints Robert Fiske Jr. as the independent counsel in charge of investigating financial irregularities in the dealings of the Whitewater property company. The Clintons, and their business partners, James and Susan McDougal, are implicated.

August 1994 - Fiske is replaced by the more conservative Kenneth Starr as the independent counsel investigating the Whitewater scandal.

January 16, 1998- Janet Reno, the US Attorney General, approves the Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr's request for an expansion of the inquiry to include the Clinton-Lewinsky affair.

September 9, 1998 -- Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr releases his report to Congress. It has 11 possible grounds for impeachment. The House votes to make the 445-page report public.
