ADADThree years ago, when Rod J. Rosenstein, as acting attorney general, appointed Robert S. Mueller III as special counsel and the long, slow investigation of Trump began, few people objected. The report was published, the special counsel testified and Democrats everywhere dropped the story. The allegations about Hunter Biden involve purported emails found on a laptop now reportedly in the possession of the FBI. Under the rationale propounded by Katyal and the wording of the regulations, a special counsel is clearly warranted. ADADAnd please, a special counsel not from inside the Beltway.
