The Case For and Against a Special Counsel Investigation of DOJ and FBI

The Case For and Against a Special Counsel Investigation of DOJ and FBI | Sara A. Carter

Like a federal prosecutor, a special counsel in the Department of Justice can't bring a case before a court unless its investigators find evidence of a crime. Special counsel investigators are usually FBI. If the special counsel agrees that there is a conflict of interest in bringing FBI investigators into the fold it would have to select a different team of investigators to aide in the case.
