My ungenerous theory: Ellis couldn’t keep the difference between the different regimes straight so he had to do a bunch of research before he realized a Special Counsel doesn’t actually have the defects of the others.

He even claims it's worse, because it has less accountability or something (pg 8, bottom). Seems, uh, strained.
