possible manslaughter charges, wonder who they would file them against

Looks like this dude is getting paid though.

Schuette said it is hard to say how much the investigation will cost, noting that some people will earn as little as $20 an hour. But Flood will earn $400 an hour as special prosecutor, according to Schuette, who noted that is the same rate special assistant attorneys general earned Detroit’s 2014 bankruptcy case.

“We’re not going to shortchange justice,” Schuette said. “We’re not going to do justice on the cheap. We’re going to have a full and complete investigation, and where the truth goes, that’s where we’ll go.”

Some state lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof, have questioned the need for an attorney general’s investigation and the price tag it may bring. But Schuette said he is confident the Legislature will provide funding, if requested.

Flood, a former Wayne County assistant prosecutor who now operates a private practice in Royal Oak, said he did not think anyone in the Legislature would want to be seen as impeding the probe.

“This is not some Jones Day firm charge,” he said, referencing the pricey Washington, D.C., office that represented Detroit in the municipal bankruptcy case. “I’m charging a lot less than I normally would on a significant amount of my clients. At the end of the day, we’ve put together an A-team of investigators that you can’t find anywhere.”

Schuette is a schmuck; I have never liked him. Even when I was a GOP precinct delegate and he was running for office, he struck me as a career politician with his own interests in mind rather than that of the people. What most people forget is that the AG's job is to protect and defend the people of Michigan; he is the people's attorney, elected by them... Sadly, he spends the bulk of his time defending the Snyder Administration rather than holding it accountable.

you think Snyder is going to get recalled?

I think it is unlikely, but its interesting to watch. If he is, Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley is a decent guy and would be an improvement.  I was at the state convention when he was chosen; down to earth guy.
