In other words, you don't believe in true oversight. You want the government left responsible for investigating itself.
I'm going to try to have an intellectual discussion with you.
Where are "Special Prosecutors" or "Independent Counsels" mentioned in the constitution? They aren't.
The problem with these guys is that they are appointed as political hitmen, with no accountability that any normal prosecutor would have. Most normal prosecutors have limited budgets and resources, and have to make decisions on what to prosecute. Is this minor infraction worth prosecuting? Nope, not usually. Unless you are a Special Prosecutor trying to rationalize his existence.
So let's review some of the worst of Special Prosecutors and Independent Counsels.
Lawrence Walsh- investigated Iran-Contra. Won convictions of North and Poindexter that were immediately thrown out because Congress had already granted them immunity. Then he went after Cap Weinberger, the only person involved in the whole fiasco who said it was a bad idea to trade weapons for hostages. (Which wasn't actually a crime, BTW). What was Cap's crime? He testified to Congress he didn't have a diary, and later handed over his meeting notes to the National Archive, and in Walsh's deluded minds, meeting notes were a diary. A judge threw it out, and Walsh reindicted days before the 1992 election out of pure spite.
Ken Starr - Appointed to investigate Whitewater. Expanded his investigation to Vince Foster's Suicide, the Rose Law Firm billing records, the retention of FBI files on Republicans, and the firing of the Travel Office Staff. None of these things were criminal, either, and Starr admitted as much after pissing away $70 million dollars. But wait, wait, he found out that Clinton claimed he didn't have sex with an intern, and after threatening the intern and her entire family with prison, got her to admit he did! Oh, the same Ken Starr would later run Baylor Universtiy, and ignore rampant cases of athletes raping coeds.
David Barrett - spent 11 years investigating Henry Cisneros payments of money to a mistress.
Peter Fitzgerald - investigated who leaked Valerie Plames name to the press. After concluding it was a bunch of anti-war types involved in a circle jerk, he prosecuted Scooter Libby not for the leak, but for remembering a conversation with Tim Russert differently than Russert remembered it.
Robert Mueller - Couldn't get anywhere near Trump, so he prosecuted a bunch of bit players for unrelated matters.
John Durham - No convictions, one plea deal to a misdemeanor.
Now- One more time.
HUNTER BIDEN IS NOT A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL! To use this kind of remedy on a private citizen flies in the face of the rule of law.
