Special Prosecutor For Trump/Russia Investigation Is A Disaster
By Dick Morris on May 17, 2017

The Trump Administration may never recover from the decision of Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein to cave into Democratic pressure and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the totally fictitious “scandal” of Trump’s relationship with Putin.

The prosecutor, hired to investigate something that never happened, will not report Trump’s innocence. Special prosecutors never do. They justify their own existence, importance, budget, and staff by finding something to prosecute. Usually the “crime” they end up going after is one that his own investigation has created.

Remember the Valerie Plame affair? After years of work the special prosecutor found that no crime had occurred. The person who leaked her link to the CIA was authorized to do so. With no crime to come up with, Patrick Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, indicted poor Scooter Libby, an aide to VP Dick Cheney, for perjury, a crime that would never have taken place had there been no investigation.

That’s how special prosecutors work.

Thought it were a special counsel appointed - not a special prosecutor?

Well, it is Dick Morris, either a Democrat or a Republican.

Or, as the President put it in his early morning tweet storm, "special councel".

When you're handed lemons, make lemonade.   President Trump should embrace the special counsel and use the fact of that investigation to change the conversation to policy and governance.   The partisan harassment over Russia is destroying Trump's ability to govern and encouraging the conditions for civil war.   Compartmentalizing the phony "scandal" in the form of the special counsel's investigation should help Trump to move on.   

Tax reform, entitlement reform, infrastructure spending - these are the issues that matter, and for which the voters elected Trump.   Partisan obstructionism must be either resisted or compartmentalized.   We must not allow the elites to overturn the results of a free and fair election.
