Sure, I just don't see what requires a special counsel. Historically, special counsels have existed to independently investigate issues where major executive figures (whether the AG, President, or other DOJ leaders) must recuse themselves as they have some vested interest or involvement. This would be an investigation by one administration's DOJ over the actions of a past administration's DOJ. 

Reno had an independent counsel look into Waco because she was the responsible party. Ashcroft had an independent counsel to look into the Valerie Plame leak after close political allies were involved. Clinton had an independent counsel for Whitewater because it was investigating himself. Mueller was brought into the Russian interference investigation because Jeff Sessions recused himself because he had contacts with Russian diplomats during the campaign. 


The Daily Wire either doesn't understand what the point of a special counsel is or they are just writing this drivel to get ignorant people who are enraged at the Russian probe to react.
