Think the 9/11 Commission, that farce of an investigation that the GOP ultimately used to absolve themselves of any guilt. You call for an investigation, then use and abuse the powers of your office to avoid as much actual investigation as possible. Remember that, during said commission, the GOP spent more time blaming the Clinton administration for the rise of Al-Q than it did looking into whether or not the Bush admin had dropped the ball.

Appointing a commission is always the most bullshit approach of all the approaches. A special prosecutor* definitely has the greatest chance of finding wrongdoing (it also has the greatest chance of going sideways in the quest for wrongdoing).

*I was under the impression that they let the special prosecutor law expire during the Bush Administration. Sort of a bipartisan acknowledgement that the Starr investigation turned into way too much of a shit show.
