Because the point is that Congress should do its job, or not. Deep throat's leaks in a parking garage in Rosslyn had nothing to do with a special prosecutor. The solution was for the executive and the legislative branches to go to institutional warfare if they believed it was called for. The harm done to the executive function (and frankly, the legislative branch, too) continue to hobble the functioning of the system to this day.

Come now, that's just fucking stupid. We don't need co-equal branches of Gov't battling each other, that's just silly. You may want to believe that's what the founders had in mind, but I find it patently absurd.
