HistoricalMullet: No independent counsel on Wilson-Leak
An early point of view of the simmering distrust I had of independent counsels based on Clinton’s Presidency.

It actually goes a LOT deeper (and higher up than that). Why would the COO of Al-Queda know the personal telephone numbers of Saudi Royalty? And when duped into believing
