special counsel limitations

The broader requirement that U.S. Some may be of national importance, e.g., 3-18.200(D)(4), “involvement of some aspect of foreign relations.” Others have a domestic political element, e.g., 3-18.200(D)(5)), a “high likelihood of coverage in news media, or Congressional interest.”With respect to the scope of “significant investigative steps,” reports are required upon the initiation of investigations of “public figures or entities” (3-18.220). 37041) that the required reports would be “brief notifications, with an outline of the actions and the reasons for them.” As noted earlier, the Attorney General’s report at the conclusion of a special counsel’s investigation is to include (section 600.9(a)(3)) “a description and explanation” of any times in which the Attorney General countermanded a proposed action by a special counsel because it was “so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued.”Most review and approval requirements in the Manual’s lengthy “Prior Approvals Chart” (9-2.400) will have no bearing on special counsel investigations, as they deal with subjects such as the death penalty or terrorism. First, under section 600.7(b), “the Attorney General may request that the Special Counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step.” The Attorney General is to “review” the explanation, and “give great weight to the views of the Special Counsel.”The project report similarly sought to curtail the breadth of reporting that occurred under the Act. 37039) that the regulations establish “a protocol whereby Special Counsels are provided with an appropriate description of the boundaries of their investigation, with the full recognition that adjustments to that jurisdiction may be required.”With regard to the annual reports from special counsel to the Attorney General, the regulation (section 600.8(a)(2)) provides that after the Attorney General receives the counsel’s report on “the status of the investigation” together with a budget request for the coming year, “[t]he Attorney General shall determine whether the investigation should continue and, if so, establish the budget for the next year.” The rule making order (at 64 Fed.

“[A] large degree of responsibility” will be removed from the Department of Justice.

First, the Attorney General must determine that “criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted.” Then, he or she must determine whether investigation or prosecution of the “person or matter” by a U.S. Attorney’s Office or a Justice Department litigating division would present either “a conflict of interest for the Department” or “other extraordinary circumstances.” Finally, a further question is to be asked, namely, whether “it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.Under the Manual’s criteria (3-18.200(D) and 3-18.230), it is hard to imagine a special counsel investigation that does not meet the standard of “sensitivity.” A “[h]igh likelihood of coverage in news media, or Congressional interest” (3-18.200(D)(5)) is sufficient. In our testimony we will describe for comparative purposes some of the project’s recommendations.
