Well, it seems that all the perfunctory and contemptuous dismissals of the cheese-eaters didn't take on our elected representatives, eh?
Quote:GOP senator demands information about how Mueller obtained Trump transition records
The chairman of the Senate's homeland security committee is demanding information from the General Services Administration about why it turned over Trump transition documents to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team for its Russia investigation.
In his letter to the agency, Johnson said the GSA did not have “authority” over transition documents. “The National Archives and Records Administration considers records of the presidential transition team to be private records – not federal or presidential records," Johnson said. "GSA does not have authority over the transition’s operations, its employees or its records."
Johnson also asked for the name of the GSA staff member who authorized handing the documents over to Mueller.
But, but, but...Mueller and the GSA claim otherwise! Sure, because their tit is in a wringer and they have no scruples about the methods they gotta use to try to escape liability. Certainly no logical or factual matters influence their attempted "justification."
Highly regarded legal scholars have called Mueller's tactics, "reckless, foolish," and worse, and attributed it to shoddy legal thinking.
So why did he do it? It's obvious, aint it? This was the only way that he, in conspiracy with the GSA, could make sure that the creators of the emails didn't know he had them when he interviewed them.
He was hoping to "Flynn" them, and accuse them of lying, if they make any mistake when talking about emails they may (or may not) have sent/received. He was hoping to "create" a crime and then file 13 indictments for "lying to the FBI."
