Special counsels, like the one leading the Justice Department's investigation of Hunter Biden, are intended to be independent − but they aren't entirely

On July 26, the plea agreement was challenged by the judge in the case.

Key Points: 
  • On July 26, the plea agreement was challenged by the judge in the case.
  • She wanted to know more about any immunity being offered, given that Hunter Biden is under several federal investigations.
  • From my perspective as a political scientist, I believe that while special counsels are intended to be independent, in practice they aren’t entirely.

Independent and special counsels

    • President Richard Nixon did this during the investigation of the Watergate break-in, which threatened to implicate him in criminal acts.
    • On the evening of Oct. 20, 1973, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Archibald Cox, whom Richardson had appointed to lead the Watergate investigation.
    • After passage of this legislation, if the attorney general received “specific information” alleging that the president, vice president or other high-ranking executive branch officials had committed a serious federal offense, the attorney general would ask a special three-judge panel to appoint an independent counsel, who would investigate.
    • That year, then-Attorney General Janet Reno authorized the appointment of special counsels, who could investigate certain sensitive matters, similar to the way independent counsels operated.
    • In 2020, John Durham – another veteran of the Justice Department – was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the investigation that triggered Mueller’s appointment.

Politicizing the process

    • For instance, while special counsels operate independently of the attorney general, both their appointment and the scope of their investigations are determined by the attorney general.
    • In contrast, the appointment of independent counsels and the scope of their investigations were determined by a three-judge panel, which in turn was appointed by the chief justice of the United States.
    • Also, since Congress authorized independent counsels, presidential influence was limited by law.
    • Sessions was later replaced by William Barr, who previously served as attorney general under President George H.W.

To be or not to be free of partisanship

    • The independence of the Justice Department rests, in part, on who occupies the offices of president and attorney general.
    • The second, Robert Hur, is overseeing President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents after leaving office as vice president in 2017.
    • As a result, the perception of political prosecution can be hard to avoid.

Cameras in the court: Why most Trump trials won’t be televised

Americans will have few opportunities to binge-watch the Donald J. Trump trials.

Key Points: 
  • Americans will have few opportunities to binge-watch the Donald J. Trump trials.
  • Even members of Congress from both sides of the aisle proposed legislation requiring cameras in the U.S. Supreme Court.
  • In this age of Court TV and Judge Judy, why would trials not be televised?
  • There are many reasons why all trials aren’t televised, spanning the history of case law, congressional legislation, empirical research, high-profile “circus” trials and, in some cases, fear.

From public to pensive

    • The right to a public trial is enshrined in English common law and the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
    • Almost everyone is guaranteed public access to, and thus oversight of, their case, which allows the public to hold the system accountable.
    • But the courts have struggled to define how “public” to make a public trial.
    • Generally, in most state courts, an individual judge can make the ultimate decision about allowing cameras in their courtroom.

Grandstanding or transparency?

    • A lawyer representing Trump in the federal 2020 election case said in July that he would prefer cameras in the courtroom.
    • Judges say cameras invite grandstanding by lawyers, intimidate jurors and witnesses, or cause select sound bites to reflect poorly on the court.
    • Introduce the possibility of using artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos about courtroom proceedings, and judges may get even more skittish.
    • One study indicates that recording trials can actually help train better lawyers by viewing, not just reading about, previous cases.
    • A 1994 Federal Judicial Center study found that judges and lawyers noted little-to-no detrimental effect of cameras on federal proceedings.
