Anything is plausible with them. Barr would never agree to this.

Barr ain't doing that.
That is how most people read the current guidance. While I put no stock in the Anons, it wouldn't surprise me if House Dems claimed they had authority to appointment a SC
Well, the Constitution has never really been of interest to them to this point.
The House could not confer to a single person greater authority than it has as a single body. It has zero judicial authority outside of its impeachment authority and it only obtains that through a vote. Even then, the Constitution clearly states it is the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that has the sole.power of impeachment. It cannot confer that authority (or investigative authority related to impeachment) to a non-member.

No, appointment of independent (aka "special") counsel is only done by the AG or, if the AG recuses, by the Deputy AG.
Previously, under Title VI of the Ethics in
Government Act of 1978 relating to the appointment of
“independent counsels” (called “special prosecutors” until 1983), the Attorney General was directed to petition a special three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals to name an independent counsel upon the receipt of credible allegations of criminal misconduct by certain high-level personnel in the executive branch of the federal government whose prosecution by the Administration might give rise to an appearance of a conflict of interest.
In 1999, Congress allowed the “independent counsel” provisions of law to expire.
That explains the Starr appointment.
