Lets appoint a partisan Republican special counsel to investigate us and then when he issues a partisan Republican report let’s hold a prime time Thursday night press conference to headline the report for the American people.
This is blatant political malpractice
Democrats need to change their attitude and get into streetfighter mode. They've appointed Republican special counsels before (like Starr) while no Republican president was never investigated by a Democrat. I guess the reason is they believe it gives the investigation more credibility, though neither the public nor the media award them for it.
Starr was Independent Counsel (pre-dates Special Counsels) appointed by a 3 judge panel.
