Description
News release about Jack Brooks introducing legislation, H.R. 811, to reauthorize the Independent Counsel provisions of the Ethics in Government Act for five years, allowing the Attorney General to appoint prosecutors outside of the Justice Department to handle criminal cases involving high-level Federal officials. The original legislation was inspired by the "Saturday Night Massacre" during the Watergate scandal, and was reauthorized twice during the Reagan Administration, but expired due to filibuster threat by Senate Republicans. Brooks criticizes former Attorney General [Barr] for his refusal to use Independent Counsel in the past, including during the INSLAW investigation, when there were allegations of criminal conspiracy by Justice officials documented by two Federal Courts.
