Will a special prosecutor be appointed?

Not "should a special prosecutor be appointed" or "Is there a chance a special prosecutor will be appointed."

Do you honestly believe one will be appointed?

If the fire gets too hot and Congressional Repukes need to save themselves from getting burned, I expect a toothless special prosecutor will be appointed for window dressing

(a) Grounds for Appointing a Special Counsel

Section 600.1 of the CFR provides that the AG will appoint a Special Counsel (SC] when the AG determines that criminal investigation is warranted and that (a)investigation by the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest or "other extraordinary circumstance" and that "under the circumstances it would be in the public interest to appoint and outside Special Counsel." The AG's decision is unreviewable.
