I'm confused. If Trump is not being investigated for a crime, why the need for special counsel?

[shockedcanadian]

Isn't this "case" against Michael Flynn apparently, something that could easily be handled by the DOJ?

The Democrats needed someone who could go on a witch hunt, a fishing expedition, whatever.
The purpose of a special council is to investigate without political interference. The problem with a special council is they can create process crimes like in the case of Scooter Libby.

If this Special Council refuses to look at Comey's accusations of Loretta Lynch....then it will be clear that truth isn't what Mueller is after.

Lynch is another ball of wax. It would be more appropriate for one of the senate committees to investigate that. The Lynch matter has nothing to do with the Russian interference in the election.

The leftists in both major parties are going to prosecute the administration for as long as it exists because they are not leftists. It's as simple as that, everything else is just noise.

 

[easyt65]

The short answer is it is no longer needed. The longer, more honest version is that the left needs it to continue their Witch Hunt.

Since he obviously tried to derail an investigation; obviously he's now being targeted. He was wise to lawyer up. Guilt isn't about what you did (we all pretty much know he's guilty); it's about what the other guy can prove.

 

[easyt65]

'OBVIOUSLY'?! LOL. Yeah, like 'I hope' is an 'order'.

'Guilt is not about you did.'
- Guilt, to snowflakes, has nothing to do with what Trump did not do but with what they accuse him of doing.

Nonsense......Lynch is part of a conspiracy and a coverup.....and that is exactly what Mueller should be investigating......not just some fake Russian Collusion accusations.

Lorretta Lynch had nothing to do with Russian interference in the election.

And Scooter Libby made his own mess. He's the one who lied to the FBI.

Okay, you guys are getting desperate.

the Orange Shitgibbon is going down... sooner rather than later.

actually, it's more like TRump is kind of an asshole, who has insulted people on his own side as much as the other.

so both sides are trying to just position themselves to be in the best vantage point when he does go down.

Trump resigning now would be bad for the Democrats. Pence would have over a year to rebuild the GOP's credibility. You want to twist this shit out until 2018, and maximize your gains in the midterms,

Bye-bye Ryan, Walker, Snyder, Rauner, Scott and all the other assholes.

Not on this one. But follow the money? Maybe.

Comey didn't even question Hillary, so how is firing him derailing the investigation???

Obviously the money is George Soros who supports Hillary and Obama.....

I don't think you get it.

Trump is not going down.

What an asshole.

i guess questions i ask when it comes to russian"interference" is -
1) do we know for sure or are we still shouting RUSSIA cause...well TRUMP?
2) if we're all bent that someone would dare to mess with our elections, how upset do we get when the US does it to other countries? is the action of interfering with another countries elections the issue, or just when done to us? in our rush to anger we seem to forget we kinda lead the world in jacking with other countries.
3) lynch is another matter and i hope they follow up on that too.

Lynch asked him to change what he called the investigation to the press. She didn't ask him to let Clinton go or fire him for refusing to do so.

 

[Meathead]

Trump is rich, white and not a snowflake, so he must be guilty of something!

Gov. Scott is term limited. Let me introduce you to Gov. Putnam.
