Trump lawyer: Mueller improperly obtained transition documents in Russia probe
Fox News ^ | 12/16/17 | John Roberts & Alex Pappas

Posted on 12/16/2017 2:15:33 PM PST by x1stcav

A lawyer for the Trump presidential transition team is accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office of inappropriately obtaining transition documents as part of its Russia probe, including confidential attorney-client communications and privileged communications.

In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent to House and Senate committees on Saturday, the transition team’s attorney alleges “unlawful conduct” by the career staff at the General Services Administration in handing over transition documents to the special counsel’s office.

Officials familiar with the case argue Mueller could have a problem relating to the 4th Amendment – which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.

At this point, Mueller has come up empty in his investigation. So his tactic appears to be to take increasingly provocative actions in the hope of being fired. Then he and the Dems can play the martyr card and start screaming for Trump’s impeachment.

Looks like some GSA career types stuck their necks out. Sucks to be them ... hopefully!

I guess the GSA is infested with members of the interagency federal government employees criminal enterprise task force also. The federal employees in the GSA who criminally released information need to be fired. Will they? Of course not...they’re federal employees and thus entitled to lifetime protected pay and benefits.

Crystal clear violation of the 4th Amendment as well as a violation of Attorney/Client privilege (which is based on the 4th Amendment) meaning there are at least two reasons to take away Muller's BAR ticket and the ticket of anyone who was in on this and had access to the illegally seized documents followed by indicting all the lawyers in his crew sith violating Trump's Civil Rights Under Color of Law (any of his staff that didn't come forward about this should be charged as well unless they flip in exchange for testifying against Muller and his gang of criminals.).

This isn't trivial. This is a very real abuse of authority and a clear cut, no hold barred, coup attempt.

There was a report that Nunes was sending people Thursday to physically get documents that the weasels have been stalling ... wonder if they succeeded.

And this becomes known, and publicly announced, just two weeks after General Flynn pleads to a process charge and shares information with the SC. Do not dismiss this as mere coincidence.

The SC probe may end of it’s own sooner than anyone thinks, it’s quite possible Mueller will simply wrap it up, declare there was no collusion, and defer to the IG investigation for other recommendations.

But meanwhile, those of you who are convinced Robert Mueller is an idiot, corrupt, deep state operative, etc ad nauseum - how else would we know the things we now know? Look as those who he hase set up by putting them in a position where their TDS bias and corruption would be observed by the one organization whose job it is to investigate wrongdoing by DOJ/FBI employees: the OIG.

Just stay tuned.

“...quite possible that Mueller will simply wrap it up, declare there was no collusion, and defer to the IG investigation... how else would we know the things we now know...”

I tend to think this as well. Everything that is coming out now is the clue and the reason that I am optimistic that Mueller will wrap it up soon. Time will tell of course.
