What are the rules for starting one? Starr was a thorn in President Clinton's side,we need a thorn for Bush.

4. He's a special prosecutor |

Starr was an independent prosecutor. The statute ran out in 1999, IIRC.

7. Fitzgerald has the same subpeona powers as an independent counsel |
|
He can be fired mid-investigation, but I doubt the White House would do that. Too many shades of Richard Nixon.
