My Job Application for Independent Counsel
Excerpt: Now that White House emails suggest that the Obama administration wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to prop up a failing firm just to make a political point about green energy, isn't it time for an independent counsel? The independent counsel statute (which I thought was unconstitutional based on the dissent of Justice Scalia in Morrison v. Olson and Judge Laurence Silberman's majority opinion in that case in the lower courts) has long expired, but the Attorney General can appoint one on his own under Justice Department regulations. There are many capable candidates, but I volunteer. As a law professor, I wouldn't charge the administration much -- and we know how much help they need in watching their pennies. I used to live in Fremont, California, home to Solyndra -- I know many of the good Chinese and Indian places to eat nearby. I would be more sympathetic than most to the Obama administration's claims, if any, of executive privilege. I have a good working relationship with people at the Obama Justice Department. I know lots of people who would love to work hard on the investigation. Any other volunteers? And any ideas of where we should take the investigation? Any questions to ask of potential witnesses? (Yoo served in G W Bush's White House. He was the attorney that found no crime in "Waterboarding". The Obama Administration tried to prosecute him for that opinion.. –Dave.)
