Remember that "Whitewater" special prosecutor that ended up doing seven different investigations?

"The 'special counsels' under these regulations have, therefore, by express design, less 'independence' from the attorney general and the Department of Justice than did the 'independent counsels' under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, or the 'special prosecutors' appointed by the attorney general for the Watergate matter," the CRS wrote in a 2013 report.
