As usual Joe, your colossal ignorance continues unabated!
"A special prosecutor generally is a lawyer from outside the government appointed by an attorney general or, in the United States, by Congress to investigate a government official for misconduct while in office." Wikipedia
The reason for appointing a special prosecutor is a perceived conflict of interest...like when an Attorney General is deliberately not doing his job...as Eric Holder has done with this and most of the OTHER Obama White House scandals. So Holder WON'T be appointing a special prosecutor because Holder's unwillingness to investigate this is the REASON one is needed in the first place...Congress will do that!
Okay, again. The Independent Council Statue expired in the Clinton years when Ken Starr spent 70 million dollars determining if Clinton lied about getting a blow job.
Now Congress can stamp it's little feet all day, but the fact is, they can't appoint one. Only the Justice Department can.
And even if they could, Lerner can just say, "Nope, not testifying without immunity".
Oh, then you have the ultimate trump card. Play for time to the last day of the Obama Administration, then Obama issues blanket pardons for anyone still under a cloud.
So seriously, I can't think of a bigger waste of time, effort and money than going after this any further, really.
So what you're saying is that even though a crime may have been committed...those responsible shouldn't be punished because Barry will use Presidential pardons to get them out of jail? So the people who work for US Presidents don't have to worry about the rule of law in "JoeB World"...they can break every law on the books because the President they work for will just give them a pardon...is that the way you see it?
I guess he COULD do that if he wants to go down in history as one of the most corrupt Presidents we've ever had. If that's the legacy he's looking for then that's the way to go. He'll have established himself as a bigger sleaze than Nixon could have ever dreamed of being.
Biggest sleaze and most corrupt are titles Joe covets!
