Let me post something that will definitely get me accused of being a 'concern troll'.
If you're going to have a special investigator, it's got to be someone who is unimpeachable. I love Gaetz, but he's very partisan and quite strident. You want someone like Robert Mueller, who is respected on both sides, and where it will be very difficult for them to try to impugn his impartiality. And yet determined to root out deep state corruption. Is there such a someone? Probably not. But you can do better than Gaetz.

The problem with that is that people like Robert Mueller tend to be people like Robert Mueller. Anyone “respected” by the establishment of the right and the left is almost certainly in that “respected” position because they will play along with the corruption. On the off chance that you can find someone who is respected on both sides that also has the qualifications and is either a person of genuine integrity or is not yet compromised enough that they can’t be lured away by a perceived shift in the winds of power—a trifecta of traits that is nigh impossible to find in combination—all it will take is one set of headlines about “Richard Miller sides with the Nazi conspiracy theorists!” and all that “bipartisan respect” is out the window. Think about how much reddit et. al. worshipped Elon or Rowling, and how quickly and completely that adoration disappeared as soon as they put one toe out of line and became the enemy du jour.
There will never be a genuine investigator that’s “respected by both sides,” because one of the sides is composed almost entirely by NPC media drones with no memories and the corrupt people who run them.

Absolutely true. I was sure the same thing would happen with Mueller. And yet when he found no 'collusion', the Mueller sub on Reddit actually accepted it. I actually posted a compliment on their sub because they did.
Of course, you're probably right that retaining the respect of both sides it is a pipe dream. They can try to smear anyone. An yet, it's much harder to smear someone who isn't an avowed partisan like Gaetz. For comparison: imagine that they had appointed Maxine Waters instead of Mueller.
There is a reason Elon and Rowling have been instrumental in the past few years. Because while they fooled some people some of the time, they couldn't fool all people. The same will be true of a Republican who does his job fairly, if there is someone, while also having everyone's respect.
Also worth considering: I thought that Marco Rubio and Waltz were worthless picks. But they've done a fine job so far. Of course, they are on a far shorter leash than a special counsel would be. Still, the corruptibility of these people cuts both ways, they can also sell out establishment pieties for advancement.
People on tiktok are spreading the rumor that Gaetz has already been appointed as a special investigator.
