There has been almost 1 year of investigations, including "wire tapping" Trump associates and unmasking names (including Trumps) in recorded conversations. What exactly is an independent investigator going to find??? I will assume that no rational person just wants an investigator on the ground continuing until he or she finds something - or not - forever! The route open seems to be to go via the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel, which actually would be overseen by Sessions. All that 'special prosecutor' stuff ended in 1999 when the law ran out and was not renewed.
I don't know until we appoint one. Need I remind you that there were eight investigations into Benghazi?
Lets just be honest - the Democrats have no evidence but want to draw this out and extend the news cycle into 2018. It's a political play to try and win back the Senate and House. The phony calls for a special prosecutor (which does not exist, although I am glad you have at least used the term special investigator) are nothing more than political red meat. The first thing to do is to get the results from the FBI, House Intel Committee and the Senate Intel committee. IF they find something then, yeah, move it forward.
You do realize that the point of an investigation is to collect evidence right? So not having evidence really isn't a problem when it comes to wanting an investigation to take place. In fact, it's usually a pre-requirement. Sarcastically dismissing this because you don't intend to understand the process isn't going to make these calls go away, by the way.
There were eight investigations into Benghazi because there was evidence AND people died. Hello? To compare the two is disingenuous. Even the most rabid of Democrats have said there has been zero evidence pointing to collusion. Just the hope there's something....somewhere.

Trump didn't write the ACHA. He wanted repeal. Then a new bill. So yes, I THINK. Try it. It's fun.

It doesn't matter he attached his name to it, pushed to have it passed, and celebrated its passing as a victory. It's Trumpcare. He owns it now. Well he'd own anything that passed under his watch, so that makes this lie that he promised health care for everyone all the more odd that you guys don't care that he said. You know since its the exact same lie y'all hold Obama's feet to the fire over. Here I'll repost it here so you can't pretend you didn't see it:

Impeachment for what? Please enlighten me because I'm seriously confused by your post.
As of now, obstruction of justice for firing Comey and attempting to influence a federal investigation by demanding his loyalty, or for disseminating classified information to the Russians a day after the firing of Comey.
At this point I care about that more than if he colluded with the Russians during the election.

Legal transgressions aren't a zero sum game. Trump doesn't get to get away with illegally disseminating classified information even if the Obama administration is guilty of the same. Stop deflecting the point.

This is why I call you a hypocrite. It only bothers you when Democrats mishandle classified information. You are one of the posters that made a huge stink of Hillary's email controversy and you are just hand waving away this concern like it's not big deal without even trying to understand the implications of what happened.

Yes, cleared. They tried to make it stick. They failed. It's only an issue for you. And this is deflection by the way. Nice try, but no.

A third party isn't going to magically assist Trump in cutting through political gridlock.

Lol. I like how you suddenly get amnesia on the Hillary issue and continue talking about that PLA issue like I never even mentioned her just now.

No amnesia, it will not be forgotten. That I can promise you. Insufficient evidence isn't 'cleared' by any means. I raised the PLA point regarding your bleating about Trump's top secret release. Nothing to do with Hillary whatsoever and you know it.
