So, that is a real problem in terms of, quote, \u2018briefing members of Congress about what\u2019s happening in a live and ongoing investigation,\u2019 but it does raise the question of, well, who is in charge of this investigation? That is a different issue, but that is the issue that I think cries out. As we do find out this information that is implicating at least potentially the president, members of the family and so forth, there is a serious question about how the investigation is being conducted under the auspice of the Justice Department.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cIs there independence and the appearance of independence? No one needs to question the integrity of the United States Attorney in Delaware who is conducting the investigation. I certainly do not. He is a very respected person, but the problem is that he is part of the Justice Department. That means he is part of the Executive Branch. That means he reports to Merrick Garland. And who does Merrick Garland report to? The President of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker\u00a0on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former independent counsel Ken Starr on Wednesday called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden\u2019s financial dealings.
