President Trump has accused former FBI Director James Comey of illegality in leaking memos that may have contained classified information. If it is true that the leaked Comey memos – laundered through a law professor in an effort to pressure Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein into appointing a special counsel – contained classified information, who will investigate Comey?

Surely the special counsel, Robert Mueller, Comey’s friend who he helped get appointed, could not conduct a credible investigation. Nor could Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller. Will yet another special counsel have to be appointed to conduct an investigation into Comey’s leaking?
