It's called backfilling.

Permission after the fact.

“...Shortly after Rosenstein hijacked the Justice Department from Jeff Sessions and became the de facto Attorney General...”
*********************************************
Rosenstein did not need to hijack it; the meek Sessions willingly surrendered it.

Here’s what the article says about the 3rd scope of work (attributed to Byron York):

“Now there is more. The Justice Department has recently allowed members of some congressional committees to view the scope memos, and out of that has come the news that there was a third scope memo to Mueller. Dated October 20, 2017, its contents remain a secret. But its very existence suggests something was going on behind the scenes in the relationship of Mueller and his supervisors at the Justice Department.

Was Mueller heading off in new directions, with Rosenstein belatedly giving him authorization to proceed? Was Mueller proposing to investigate people or events not known when he was originally appointed? Was there something else?

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. Perhaps the memos concern matters that are still ongoing that need to remain under wraps. On the other hand, Mueller announced that his investigation into conspiracy and coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign — the core area of his jurisdiction — was over and done. “The office has concluded its investigation into links and coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign,” the Mueller report said.

These scope memos are like the three secrets of Fatima.

When does the drip-drip-drip become investigations, indictments, and arrests?

” as well as allegations that Paul Manafort “committed a crime or crimes arising out of payments he received from the Ukrainian government before and during the tenure of President Viktor Yanukovych.”

This was all bogus information according a report by John Solomon in Hannity tonight. They use bogus information to convict Manafort.

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?

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
