Careful there Joe, the guys in the dark glasses probably monitor these boards.
No, I don't think we can "**** the FBI" because they are investigating Hildabeast. And for the record, there is no Ken Starr boogeyman for you to blame this on as of yet. Lots of us are asking for a Special Prosecutor, mostly because we don't trust Obama's Department of Justice to do justice here.
I think the whole "Special Prosecutor" thing is dead on arrival. Those guys just abuse their authority. Not just Kenny the Pervert, but Walsh and Fitzgerald. The problem is, these guys never wind up charging on what they were investigating to start with.
Case in point -
Lawrence Walsh - Started out investigating whether or not Reagan traded weapons for hostages and diverted funds to drug dealing Contras. Except he couldn't make that case. So Seven Years Later he's charging Cap Weinberger with Perjury because he testified he didn't keep a diary, and he gave his meeting notes to the National Archive. Ironically, Cap was the guy who said giving the Iranians rockets was a bad idea.
Ken Starr - Started out investigating a failed land deal. Wound up investigating whether or not Clinton really thinks a blow job is sex or not.
Patrick Fitzgerald- Started out investigating a whether or not someone outed Valerie Plame (except her name was part of the public record, so no one outed her) wound up prosecuting Scooter Libby for not remembering an interview the same way Tim Russert remembered it.
Here's my favorite, the one no one else remembers. -
David Barrett - Investigated whether or not HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros gave money to his mistress. the fact he gave money to his mistress wasn't in dispute. The amount was being investigated, and Barrett spent
22 MILLION dollars investigating payments of $250,000 to his mistress, and didn't wrap up his investigation until 2006, a DECADE after Cisneros resigned from public life.
No, we should pass an independent counsel statue that requires any politician who says 'special prosecutor" aloud should be publically flogged.
