[QUOTE="Benben, post: 3829607, member: 25133"] [URL="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39961732"]What does the special counsel do?[/URL] A special counsel is in place to oversee the investigation looking into alleged Russian interference in the US presidential election, and if Trump campaign figures were complicit. The special counsel was appointed by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general. He made the decision as "acting attorney general" because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had stepped aside from the Russia inquiry. Mr Rosenstein said that given the "unique circumstances", it was in the public interest for a special counsel independent "from the normal chain of command", to lead the investigation. By placing authority for the probe into the hands of Mr Mueller, the idea was that it would be able to proceed without any interference, including from the White House. [SIZE=5][B]OK, but what is he actually looking at?[/B][/SIZE] Mr Rosenstein's order allows Mr Mueller to look into: [LIST] [*]The Russian government's efforts to interfere in the election [*]Any links or co-ordination between Russia and Trump campaign-linked individuals [*]Any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation [/LIST] Thx Baba gounj, please come again.
