	FAQs and Web Resources on the Impeachment Process: Background: The Office of the Independent Counsel
		The Independent Counsel Statute establishes a process for appointment of the Independent Counsel by an appellate court panel (or "special division") that provides the parameters and scope of the investigation based on a preliminary assessment by the U.S. Attorney General that there is sufficient evidence of wrongdoing to warrant further review and analysis.
		A main difference between the Independent Counsel and other U.S. Justice Department prosecutors is that the Independent Counsel operates pursuant to a charge from the special appellate court panel and the Independent Counsel must report to the panel about the investigation at its conclusion.
		The Independent Counsel operates under the laws and rules of the U.S. Department of Justice, although there may be some greater latitude due to the independent nature of the prosecutor's work.

	The Independent Counsel's Report
		The OIC argued that the civil discovery process should be halted because it was having a negative effect on the criminal investigation.
		After careful consideration of all the evidence, the OIC has concluded that the evidence of wrongdoing is substantial and credible, and that the wrongdoing is of sufficient gravity that it warrants referral to Congress.
		It is not the role of this Office to determine whether the President's actions warrant impeachment by the House and removal by the Senate; those judgments are, of course, constitutionally entrusted to the legislative branch.
