Now that the Justice Department belatedly has admitted that the entire investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was a sham, it is time to turn to the bigger picture.
On August 2, 2017, acting attorney general (for all matters involving the Trump-Russia collusion hoax) Rod Rosenstein signed a memorandum expanding the jurisdiction of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. Almost a year after Mueller released his report, the expanded jurisdiction memorandum remained a secret until Wednesday. A third jurisdiction memorandum remains secret.
It is unclear why the Department of Justice says it kept this memo secret until now or why it continues to keep the third memo secret to this day. But the real reasons are obvious: When one compares the matters Rosenstein told Mueller to investigate with what was already known at the time, we can easily deduce that the questions being “investigated,” were already answered by available evidence.
The Mueller “investigation” was never intended to discover new evidence. It had two, largely successful, objectives: To delay accountability for the effort to derail the peaceful transfer of power to the duly-elected president, and to continue that interference as long as possible. As I wrote here, it was obvious as early as 2018 that the Justice Department had turned the Russian collusion investigation into a “puzzle designed never to be solved.”
Rosenstein used the secrecy of the sham investigation to blunt and parry legitimate oversight from the House until after January 2019 when House Intelligence Committee chairman, Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), could use his gavel to end all House inquiries into the hoax.
Let’s review key figures cited in Rosenstein’s second “scope” memo authorizing Mueller’s expansive probe.

Excellent point in post 2....
Russia collusion only by Trump.
I said this so many times I was blue in the face when it was obvious who colluded with Russia to try and influence an investigation.
This is why Steele leaked his dossier far and wide and why so many deep staters did the same.
Was the Steele Dossier supposed to be the October surprise?
If/when prosecutions start, the Dems and the media are going to shout down any other messages other than a claim of abuse of power, and their tyrant message. There’ll be not much of anything else said.
I think more than anything Mueller was acting. No one could have went from leading an investigation to a bumbling old fool that quickly.
Oddly enough, Rosenstein was involved in another case converning Iranians the US detained over transferring space technology to Iran and Russia... there was an Obama admin prisoner swap deal over these and the case was connected to NIAC and a man still held there named Siamak Nemazi ...
Rosenstein was involved in the case of businessman Nader Modanlo whose connections to Russia helped Iran launch its first satellite, an Earth observation satellite, on Oct 27, 2005, according to reporting by Ellen Nakashima. Midland got 8 yrs.
