        Not possible as a Special Counsel. He's no longer in govt.

        But couldn't he be appointed to something? Ken Starr wasn't a gov't employee. I know the law has changed. I would rather see him as Dir FBI.

        I'm not sure that the special counsel law prohibits that, but the person would have to report up through DOJ.

        That was my understanding, too. And Sessions is absolutely untrustworthy, and I'm not sure Rosenstein can be trusted either.

        I'd back Aaron Rodgers maybe. Especially if it took him out of the NFC North for the season.

        Michael Chertoff has the white-collar crime experience, the stature, and the independence - a perfect choice. GOP won't go for it, though.

        He's also abusive in some ways like Rogers (tho, at least so long as his clients pay him to be so, he's not opposed to encryption).

        Mike Rogers, former MI-08 Congressman, is a staunch R but nobody's pet dog. He'd help restore the morale at the FBI being a former agent

        1) There are hush hush discussions about why he had to leave in 1984 and 2) he has horrible policies on NatSec issues. No.
