I like it......NOW the trick is to get the powers that be to recognize the discrepancies in letting Mueller go forward. I believe it was Jonathan Turley a couple of nights ago (either on Tucker or Hannity’s shows) who said the mandate to Mueller is too vague - amounting to about one sentence which gives Mueller leeway to go into any area he chooses. I believe it was relative to the discussion of going back years into Trump’s finances. Let’s hope someone picks up your scenario and dumps it in front of those legally charged with these decisions.
“amounting to about one sentence which gives Mueller leeway to go into any area he chooses.”
That one sentence is the ball game. Rosenstein put it in there to allow Mueller total free reign while excluding any looks at Obongo of the witch. Again Rosenstein must go.
Turley is trying to be deferential to Mueller and "the process," and as a lawyer, he is generally deferential to wildly different interpretations of any given prose.
Interpretation of DOJ Order 3915-2017 breaks down on a partisan basis. One side sees it a license to conduct fishing expeditions against the people who worked for the Trump campaign, and the other side see it as a license to investigate just the campaign.
The charge is the campaign colluded with the Russians, whatever the heck that means, so it's pretty clear to me which of the two takes makes the most sense. The other side, the one that finds Manafort's 2008 real estate deals to be part of the Trump campaign, they have to either use a strained interpretation of the authorization, or craft an imaginary web of connections and maybes to justify reaching that far.
