...Congress has CLEARLY and unequivocally shown that they are incapable of holding the executive branch accountable (looking at you in particular, Nunes), I don't see any better alternative to Mueller at this point in time, not by a long shot.

Mr. Mueller is not conducting an investigation to hold the Executive branch accountable for anything. He is investigating Russia interference in our elections, and tangentially, any contact or illegal actions conducted by members of the Trump campaign, which is not the Executive branch.

Eh, to that I'll say as long as members of Team Trump during the campaign are still working for the administration currently, up to and including the head Cheeto himself, then 'Tomato, Tomahto'... I was mostly referring to BK's point earlier:

Special counsels and special prosecutors are generally a bad idea. History shows they usually overreach, for one. They also typically aggravate the existing partisan divide, as one side stands on the sidelines cheering them on (as you're seemingly doing) while the other side throws rotten eggs and does everything it can to denigrate them. We have mechanisms for holding presidents accountable. They're called "Congress, working with the Department of Justice" as well as "Congress exercising its impeachment power." These special counsels and prosecutors tend to become a law unto themselves. Bad juju, right there.

From the headline: "wins retirement benefits and back pay"

So if they let him retire the next day - he wouldn't have sued..... But now they have to pay him for 3 and a half years that he didn't work.

A little sad he settled, just sad DOJ wants to protect people like Sessions and other. But McCabe did not have a home run case.

Peter Strozk on the other hand, his privacy case is much much stronger. Wonder if he will settle or if he will push for depositions.

The saddest thing is that the people responsible will never be held accountable.
