On Page 32 of the transcript, while trying to specify how the initiating special counsel mandate has bearing upon a decades-old banking/tax case, U.S. Attorney Dreeben tells Judge Ellis the detailed instructions were delivered in person:

The Mueller Gestapo gets a beat down. I love it.

Two words...Star Chamber. One of the powers that amendments 4 5 6,7 & 8 were placed in the Constitution to deny to the state.

This concerns me with Rosenstein. He is either an accomplice or a fool. Q says we can trust RR but Judge Ellis casts doubt in my eyes

[Kartographer]

I have no doubt that Rosenstein and Mueller used proper protocol when the super secret verb instructions were exchanged.

[Fitzy_888]

“Super-secret verbal instructions.”

Is that like double secret probation?

Why is any business of the people other than war plans or espionage secret?

This is crap.

What does it takein our representative republic to end this mulehead witch hunt?

But wait. The judge said he had a copy of the authorization, but it was heavily redacted. The judge wants an unredacted copy.

Clearly a written document exists that the judge wants.

I think they are either going to have to give the judge the document, or the judge is going to dismiss the case against Manafort. And I hope he dismisses it with prejudice.

I wonder, in their search for evidence to destroy President Trump, how much criminal activity commited by democrats, never trumpers, and justice department officials they had to wade through. I can picture a large stack of papers marked “felonies, but irrelevant to investigation”.

[Eleutheria5]

This keeps getting more absurd. It’s like a sketch on Mad TV gone wild.

[meadsjn]

...Scope Was Detailed in Super-Secret Verbal Instructions…

That ranks right up there with "...the dog ate my homework."
