"Permission after the fact."

That's like conducting an illegal search on a premises, and then requesting the warrant to search for all the items you seized in the illegal search.

Maybe we should ask Pope Mario what's in them.

I never trusted that guy. Just go back and look at his career in Washington in politics and as a foreign lobbyist. He was the personification of the “Swamp” that Trump campaigned against.

Oh ... and I never trusted Mike Flynn, either.

It’s important to note that Rosenstein’s scope memo giving Mueller authorization to hunt down Manafort was 2 weeks after the FBI raided Manafort’s home looking for bank records.

speaking of which, isn't there a breaking Hill story about a phoney ledger (Ukraine) used as evidence against Manafort?

Where is Sessions? Sessions is riding his attack squirrel and dreaming in blissful oblivion of his old Senate seat:

Great cartoon, maybe someday you and the artist will understand what actually happened....

https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/05/15/jeff-sessionss-grave-conflict-of-interest/

In early 2017, Sessions had been investigated for perjury and lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing to be attorney general about his contacts with a Russian diplomat during the 2016 presidential campaign. Sessions’s testimony was demonstrably misleading, but as the Mueller Report, released April 18, noted of its investigation of the matter: “evidence was insufficient to… obtain or sustain a conviction for perjury or false statements.”

During my reporting for this story, I spoke to more than half a dozen current and former federal law enforcement officials and criminal defense attorneys, with no direct involvement in the Mueller investigation. They told me that any skilled and experienced attorney would, in the case of an interview of such consequence, have asked the special counsel’s office beforehand whether their client was a “witness,” “subject,” or “target” of the investigation. Sessions’s attorney, Chuck Cooper, had been an assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel during the Reagan administration, and has over thirty-five years of legal experience. I could not learn if he asked the special counsel about Sessions’s status before he was interviewed, and if he did, what he was told. The special counsel declined to comment, and Cooper also refused to disclose this information or to comment on any other matter reported here.

A witness to a federal criminal investigation is a person not under investigation themselves, but who may have valuable information for the authorities. A “subject” of an investigation is someone under suspicion, but who the government wants to investigate further to see if there is evidence of a provable crime. The Justice Department defines a “target” as “a person as to whom the prosecutor or the grand jury has substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutor, is a putative defendant.”

One of these days, these documents will be declassified ... right?

Maybe not this one. Towards the end Trump and Barr managed to turn Rosenstein. Likely with a promise to cover his arse on this.

“At the moment, the third scope memo, like most of the second scope memo, remains a secret. It is unclear whether all that secrecy is warranted.“

It’s not. The Mueller witch hunt is over and no witches were found.

Release it all.

Today.

When Mueller was head of the FBI he tried to get mandatory and for whatever reason didn’t get him.
When Trump hired Manafort Fusion GPS,Glen Simpson and his wife’s antenna went up,they hated Trump and that’s when this whole mess started. But they were going to get him this time
