It is routine for partisan calls to appoint a special counsel.\u00a0 These are usually ignored.\u00a0 Several people have requested a special counsel to investigate the abuse of the FISA warrants.\u00a0 Those were also ignored.\u00a0 Attorney General Sessions referred the matter to the inspector general.\u00a0 That all changed this morning when Sessions reported he is considering appointing a special counsel:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/sessions-considering-second-special-counsel-to-investigate-republican-concerns-letter-shows\/2017\/11\/13\/bc92ef3c-c8d2-11e7-b0cf-7689a9f2d84e_story.html?utm_term=.c477dfb6c8f3<\/a><\/p>\n

What changed was that Trey Gowdy is the one requesting a special counsel and he included legal reasons why this is required.\u00a0 Gowdy pointed out, correctly, that this investigation cannot be conducted by the Inspector General because it will require interviews of people who are not associated with the DOJ and the DOJ cannot do this because it cannot investigate itself.\u00a0 Trey Gowdy has high credibility because he has been reluctant to request a special counsel and he has always supported Robert Mueller.\u00a0 I believe that Sessions is already looking for the special counsel and that an appointment is imminent.<\/p>\n

Robert Mueller was appointed to look at Russian interference in the election.\u00a0 This one will look into the FBI handling of the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal, the Clinton Foundation\u2019s role with regard to Uranium One and the alleged abuse of a FISA warrant.\u00a0 This will be much broader in scope than the Mueller investigation.\u00a0 This has the potential to be earth shattering because unlike the mythical Russia collusion unicorn we already know that many of these things happened and that there is a mountain of documentation.<\/p>\n

Sessions handled this in a way that makes it difficult if not impossible for the liberal left to dismiss this as a partisan witch hunt.\u00a0 We are headed toward a whole new world and the results are likely to be monumental.\u00a0 If any of the reporting by Sara Carter and John Solomon is accurate, a lot of people, including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, James Comey, Andrew McCabe and many more should be lawyering up.\u00a0 Expect the liberal left to fight back with even more outrageous allegations against Donald Trump.\u00a0 However, if a special counsel is appointed, that tactic will have little if any impact on the investigation.\u00a0 It is a lot harder to sell a snow job to a special counsel than it is to CNN.<\/p>\n

If a special counsel is appointed, the most important impact will be that the MSM.\u00a0 They\u00a0will be compelled to investigate and report on this and that is likely to be devastating for all those involved.\u00a0 In many ways this is like the Weinstein fiasco where everyone ignored the obvious problem for\u00a0years until they were finally forced to admit that it mattered.\u00a0 The main stream media switched from defense mode to attack mode within hours.<\/p>\n

A word of caution; any thorough investigation is extremely likely to uncover other misconduct by people not currently on anyone\u2019s radar.\u00a0 Expect surprises.\u00a0 In a situation like this there are likely to be casualties on both sides.<\/p>\n
