Part of me wonders if Mueller took this action in an attempt to prevent a second special counsel from being appointed.

There are very high standards that must be met and Jeff Sessions has told them they have not met them. They need some facts... A factual basis is his choice of words and what things "look like" are not facts for a special counsel. That is another pipe dream of the right.
“I don’t think the threshold has been met for the appointment of special counsel," Gowdy told Fox News on Wednesday. "I think this is a really important point. You can investigate something without special counsel."
"In fact, 99.9 percent of all investigations in this country are done by the women and men at the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney’s Offices, and none of them is called special counsel,” Gowdy said. “So there is a threshold that has to be met, and I don’t think it has been met. To say we’re not going to appoint special counsel is not to say we’re not going to look into something.”

I still don't understand why people are dismissing the conflict of interest the U1 deal represents.
In my mind growing up during the cold war era; it would be a conflict of interest to trade nuclear materials between the two super powers, like what happened here.
Can someone explain to me why this is not a conflict of interest anymore?
