I probably have a minority view on this, but I'm ambivalent about a Special Counsel. If one had been appointed, it would be months before all the staff could be assembled, more before rocks start getting overturned (and leaks start happening), and then we'd be well into the election cycle. If Sessions wanted to keep a lid on this until after the election, there would be no better way than to appoint a Special Counsel.
I have no idea about this Huber fellow. Odds are he's no good anyway because of his background with Holder, but Obama had polluted DeeCee so badly I'm not sure there's a bureaucrat around who could be considered "clean." I'm just hoping we have somebody who doesn't give a crap about the DeeCee cocktail party circuit.
