Which would require a vote by the House and Senate.

So, the short answer to your question is no.

Did the House vote on Mueller?

The Special Counsel would report to the AG, correct?

Why would a Commission be preferable?

His activities and budget and subpoena power were very limited. He only investigated what the AG already had the authority to investigate.

The commission and potential committee the Speaker could form would have much broader authorities, powers and budgets than the DOJ has. If DOJ was going to do those things, Congress would have to vote to grant those broader powers and give DOJ a larger budget.

There are things the AG can do that Congress can't (e.g., conduct criminal investigations, convene grand juries, indict and prosecute people, etc.), things that Congress can do that the AG can't do. A commission or committee is necessary to carry out those latter activities that the AG either doesn't have the authority to do or doesn't have the budget, staffing and expertise to handle. That's why it's important for there to be a commission or committee working while the AG focuses on the criminal investigations and prosecutions that it is working on.

Of course, they'll cooperate and coordinate, but the work needs to be spread out.

Would a Special Counsel be preferable to a Select Committee?

Speaker Pelosi can appoint a select committee to do most of the things a commission would do, many of which DOJ can't.

Under Merrick Garland, DOJ is doing everything a Special Counsel would do.

McCarthy may be able to appoint Members, so it's possible.

By people like Jordan and a few others?

Jordan being on the committee does not mean he can sabotage it. He's one person with very little power.

He was on the House Judiciary Committee and didn't sabotage the impeachment.

We need to stop looking for ways to complain that this process or that process won't be perfect. No process will be perfect and in a divided government, there is no way to move forward without some Republican involvement.

I agree.

to investigate and screw the composition equality guardrails that the rethugs wish to use to cover up their stinking corruption and complicity in the insurrection. This charade of bi-partianship will never work. They proved this when they persisted to go after Hillary Clinton over Benghazi and before that with Ken Starr's actual witch hunt for Travelgate and Whitewater that led to the Lewinsky mess. Screw the GQP.

A HSC would have more power, including subpoena powers, than the compromise commission in the current proposed legislation.

And it will all be televised, unlike DOJ or Special Counsel investigations- and DOJ’s indictments will continue regardless.

Being in power doesn't mean just shoving things down people's throat and rushing in wily nily.

Just like impeachment, foundations and groundwork must be laid. A lot is occurring behind the scenes so that when a committee is formed, it's ready to go from day one. Just because you can't see it happening doesn't mean it's not.
