Letter to the editor Cartoonist View Voice of the people Continued discussion on impeachment inquiry You asked in your letter of 10/21, “What about the legal precedence set in the previous impeachment in- quiries?” I am not exactly sure what specific precedence you refer to. My best guess is that you are referring to the fact that in the cases of both Presidents Nixon and Clinton, a Special Prosecutor ­— equivalent to a Special Counsel, like Mueller — was appointed to do the primary in- vestigating. These special counsels must be appointed by the Attorney General; it does not seem likely that Attorney General Barr will follow suit. That leaves the task to House committees — and they are doing it. Let me add to that what is clear to me: The current impeachment inqui- ry is following the procedural steps as laid out in the Constitution - they are not identical to those in a court of law. The House acts somewhat like a prosecutor, filing charges — in place of a Special Counsel, as noted above, and also in private, as with previous investigations. The Mueller report, itself, is not useful here since there is as yet no overlap between what Mueller investigated and the issues now being investigat- ed by the House committees. In both Nixon’s and Clinton’s cas- es, a full vote on the articles of im- peachment did not come until quite late - nearly three months after the Clinton impeachment inquiry was launched and more than four years after Kenneth Starr was appointed MUSINGS Special Counsel on the Whitewater investigation that later led to uncov- ering the Monica Lewinsky scandal Values by the pound and impeachment.
