		Under the statute, the independent counsel cannot be a government official, and must be "an individual who has appropriate experience and who will conduct the investigation and any prosecution in a prompt, responsible and cost-effective manner." The Special Division then provides her or him with a charter setting forth the independent counsel's jurisdiction.
		The independent counsel then begins to investigate her or his case, using a wide variety of prosecutorial techniques.
		An independent counsel can be removed from office by the Attorney General "only for good cause, physical or mental disability...or any other condition that substantially imparis the performance of such independent counsel's duties." The independent counsel may appeal such decisions, however, to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

	frontline: secrets of an independent counsel: donald smaltz: inside the war over independent counsels
		Reno's unwillingness to seek an independent prosecutor in the campaign finance case appears to be shaped by her experiences -- almost all bad from her point of view -- with other outside counsels appointed at her request since she took over in 1993.
		These remarks are also particularly unsettling because the overwhelming majority of the attorneys in the independent counsel offices are detailed from the Department of Justice and the United States Attorney offices, and a significant portion of the remainder are former Justice Department employees or AUSAs.
		Attacking the independent counsels and their staffs, who are carrying out tom the best of their abilities the investigations that you earlier set in motion, by definition independently of the perceived needs and desires of the Department of Justice, serves to undermine the cause of law enforcement, generally, and the fair administration of justice, particularly.

		Nonetheless, whether or when other opportunities for this Court to consider the issue arise depends upon whether or when the President, or other Government employees, will risk disclosing to Government lawyers significant matters that, under the Court of Appeals’ decision, are not privileged.
		They may very well choose the cautious course, holding back information from Government counsel, perhaps hiring outside lawyers instead.
