Remember when Jeff Sessions schooled Jim Jordan (R-OH) about "investigations"?

Mr Sessions was pressed by Republican congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio, who demanded to know “what it would take to get a special counsel”.

“It would take a factual basis that meets the standards of the appointment of a special counsel,” Mr Sessions replied.

“That’s what it looks like, and I’m asking you: Doesn’t that warrant - in addition to all the things we know about James Comey in 2016 - doesn’t that warrant naming a second special counsel,” asked Mr Jordan.

Mr Sessions said: “That’s the only thing I can tell you, Mr Jordan. You can have your idea, but sometimes we have to study what the facts are and to evaluate whether it meets the standard that requires a special counsel.”

The Attorney General then said Mr Comey was no longer the FBI Director and praised incumbent Chris Wray. But Mr Jordan would not be satisfied.

“He’s not here today, Attorney General Sessions, you are, and I’m asking for a special counsel,” he said.

Mr Sessions responded: “And I would say, ‘Looks like’ is not enough basis to appoint a special counsel.”

2. Repugs don't care about facts

For repugs, the main purpose of investigations and special counsels is to try to smear democrats. It doesn't matter to them whether there's a "factual basis" or not.
