Why a Special Counsel is Needed for Investigations
The addition of provisions in this investigation provides the prosecutor with more independence and perception of independence. The prosecutor still reports to the attorney general but is not managed on a day-to-day basis. This is important because the investigation involves the president's son and is being conducted by his political appointees. The special counsel is necessary to ensure independence. Additionally, if the prosecutor is overruled by superiors, the attorney general must report it to congress, adding accountability and transparency to the investigation.
