The "S" Word

Democrats are "holding off" on calling for a special prosecutor in the prosecutorgate mess.

Why?

They claim they need more than the appearances of wrong-doing.

Am I nuts or what? I think there's a whole lot more than the appearances of wrongdoing. It's a good damned thing that the Congressional Dems aren't firemen or they would ignore a house with billowing smoke coming out the windows.

As I wrote earlier, what's the point of oversight if there are no consequences. The job of Congess isn't to hand over a fati accompli case to a prosecutor, that's the prosecutors job. Give a prosecutor the job, money and time to investigate and let it go where it may. Do you really think that if it was a Democratic President and a Republican Congress in this situation, we wouldn't have a hotel load of special prosecutors running around by now?
