Judge Nap: We Don’t Need a Special Counsel for Clinton; We Need an AG Who Does His Job

Jeff Sessions ‘seems to be allowing others in the Justice Department to make the decisions traditionally made by the attorney general’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "A top Republican lawmaker says Attorney General Jeff Sessions should create a new special counsel to investigate actions by Democrats during the campaign and the Obama years. Earlier we spoke to Congressman Jim Jordan about this."

JORDAN: "When you have all these questions let’s appoint the special counsel. We think Mr. Mueller is inherently compromised. So let’s appoint a special counsel to get the answers for the — it's not about Jeff Sessions, it's about getting answers for the American people."

SMITH: "Joining me now is Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano. A really big piece that he published in foxnews.com --"
NAPOLITANO: "Yes."
SMITH: "-- calling for this special counsel. And if he does not do that, he is calling for the attorney general to step down."
NAPOLITANO: "Well the attorney general can expect a very difficult time when he testifies before the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow."
SMITH: "That's going to get fiery."
NAPOLITANO: "Yes. Republicans want to know why aren’t you investigating Mrs. Clinton. If you're truly fired, advised the president to fire Jim Comey because he dropped the ball on Mrs. Clinton, why don’t you pick up the ball and run with it? Whatever happened to the Uranium One investigation? Did the FBI actually pay for the Russian dossier or did Mrs. Clinton pay it for? These are all very interesting questions. Democrats on the other hand are going to say 'The Washington Post' claims there were 30 separate contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians, you told the Senate Judiciary Committee you didn’t know of any. So which is right? He's really going to be in a vice when he testifies tomorrow. Now with respect to what Congressman Jordan said I have the same questions he does but I do not think we need an independent counsel. We need an attorney general that does his job."
