    A growing question over appearance of conflicts of interest. Who investigates the investigators when they're implicated in some of the alleged misconduct but also remain in charge of the evidence and prosecutions? (Continued)

        The senate's criminal referral of Christopher Steele in essence asks the FBI to investigate a source with whom FBI officials collaborated, and whose evidence they used in a fashion that’s under congressional investigation. (Continued)

        The criminal referral was addressed to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein-- who himself signed at least one of the questionable wiretap applications using the Steele dossier. (Continued)

        The criminal referral was also addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray whose choice for general counsel, Dana Boente, also signed at least one of the wiretap applications. (Continued)

        Boente replaced FBI General Counsel James Baker, a confidante of former FBI Director James Comey, who signed three of the wiretap applications. (Baker was reassigned in December after questions arose about leaks promoting the anti-Trump material in the dossier.) (Continued)

        Last June, Comey admitted that he secretly orchestrated a leak to the press to prompt a special counsel investigation of any Trump-Russia ties. Robert Mueller was appointed two days later.

        While I don't assume that any of those names have committed any crime, and we should assume they are very honest brokers, even the *appearance* of a conflict must be avoided -- and this investigation is too close to too many insider players.

        I don't think he has prosecutorial authority. And in the past when he's tried to interview say attorney general, and the attorney general says no, he ends up with reports saying "Well we don't know what he did because he wouldn't do an interview." so...

        Great thread. This investigation looks to have same circular path as the use of the dossier to get FISA approval.

        While it is probably possible to tease out a difference between a conflict of interest, and an appearance thereof; certainly, in public service, an appearance is quite sufficient to disqualify anyone. A conflict does not involve wrongdoing, and is not removed by innocence.
