Reply #23: The Difference Between An IP & Special Counsel [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

The Independent Prosecutor was appointed by Congress...that's who empowered Starr and allowed him to expand his investigation at a whim. This investigation still falls under the control of the Justic Department of the Executive branch...Fitzgerald, while operating under a special mandate, is still responsible to Gonzalez and the DOJ. There's a big difference!

If rumors can be believed, I suspect, Mr. Fitzgerald is holding a new bill this morning for a second grand jury that would be the way he could widen the investigation...and only then with the approval of the judges.
