  • Special Counsels, Independent Counsels, and Special Prosecutors: Options for Independent Executive Investigations Name Redacted Legislative Attorney
    Special Counsels, Independent Counsels, and Special Prosecutors: Options for Independent Executive Investigations name redacted Legislative Attorney June 1, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44857 Special Counsels, Independent Counsels, and Special Prosecutors Summary Under the Constitution, Congress has no direct role in federal law enforcement and its ability to initiate appointments of any prosecutors to address alleged wrongdoings by executive officials is limited. While Congress retains broad oversight and investigatory powers under Article I of the Constitution, criminal investigations and prosecutions have generally been viewed as a core executive function and a responsibility of the executive branch. Historically, however, because of the potential conflicts of interest that may arise when the executive branch investigates itself (e.g., the Watergate investigation), there have been calls for an independently led inquiry to determine whether officials have violated criminal law. In response, Congress and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have used both statutory and regulatory mechanisms to establish a process for such inquiries. These responses have attempted, in different ways, to balance the competing goals of independence and accountability with respect to inquiries of executive branch officials. Under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, Congress authorized the appointment of “special prosecutors,” who later were known as “independent counsels.” Under this statutory scheme, the Attorney General could request that a specially appointed three-judge panel appoint an outside individual to investigate and prosecute alleged violations of criminal law. These individuals were vested with “full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions and powers of the Department of Justice” with respect to matters within their jurisdiction.

She was named the first female partner at the Rose Law Firm in 1979. She was active in a number of organizations regarding child welfare and sat on the board of Wal-Mart and several other corporations. When her husband became President, she used her role as First Lady to launch her own initiative, the Clinton health care plan, which failed to gain approval from the Congress in 1994, 1997, and 1999. She was the only First Lady to be subpoenaed, testifying before a federal grand jury as a consequence of the Whitewater controversy in 1996. She was elected as a U.S. senator from New York State in 2000 and was re-elected in 2006. She ran for President in 2008. Life Issues: On all issues of life, Planned Parenthood has its team in place with President Obama at the top and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Hillary Clinton is pro-abortion on all fronts. She will be influential in forcing Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) legislation that will, with a stroke of the President's pen, turn back all progress in protecting innocent life that has been made over the past 36 years since Roe v Wade.

  • WHITEWATER UPDATE MUCH of WHITEWATER CONTROVERSY CAUSED by WHITE HOUSE; VICE PRESIDENT SHOULD REVIEW OWN PAST STATFMENTS BEFORE Qljestionjng MOTIVES of Republ
    NEWS U.S. SENATOR FOR KANSAS FROM: SENATE REPUBLICAN LEADER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Clarkson Hine Sunday, January 9, I994 202-224-5358 WHITEWATER UPDATE MUCH OF WHITEWATER CONTROVERSY CAUSED BY WHITE HOUSE; VICE PRESIDENT SHOULD REVIEW OWN PAST STATFMENTS BEFORE QlJESTIONJNG MOTIVES OF REPUBl.. ICANS WASHINGTON -- Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole today released the following statement regarding the Whitewater controversy and Vice President Gore's appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation"; "I know it's been a tough week for the White House 'damage control' experts, but no matter how hard they try, they can't obscure this fact: much of the Whitewater controversy to date has been caused by their own blunders. Misstatements, omissions of fact, and contradictory public announcements coming from the White House have served to fuel public skepticism and heighten press scrutiny. "Needless to say, newspapers like The New Yorlc Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Philadelphia Inquirer, which have all editorialized in support of the appointment of a special counsel, are hardly Republican in orientation. And at least two Democratic Senators, Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Bill Bradley, have publicly stated that Attorney General Reno should appoint a special counsel to examine the Whitewater allegations. "It has been my position that the Attorney General should appoint a special counsel because it is in the interest of both President Clintoo and Mrs. Clinton and in the interest of the American people, who deserve a full accounting of the facts behind the Whitewater controversy. If the President and Mrs. Clinton have done nothing wrong, which may indeed be the case, they deserve to have their names cleared in a manner in which the public will have complete confidence.
