Mueller’s Investigation Flouts Justice Department Standards

Gates was charged with $100 million in financial crimes — and pled guilty to two minor offenses, one of them highly questionable. These columns have many times observed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s failure to set limits on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. To trigger the appointment of a special counsel, federal regulations require the Justice Department to identify the crimes that warrant investigation and prosecution — crimes that the Justice Department is too conflicted to investigate in the normal course; crimes that become the parameters of the special counsel’s jurisdiction.

Mueller’s Investigation Flouts Justice Department Standards

Then apparently Mueller lacks candor. Wasn't McCabe fired for his lack of candor?...I thought so.

I watched Trey Gowdy say, “So to suggest that Mueller should shut down and that all he’s looking at is collusion, if you have an innocent client Mr. Dowd (Trump’s lawyer), act like it.”

President Trump is treading on untread territory. The IG report should open up a new highway for him to act. It think it will provide him with the ammunition to proceed with the prosecutions and the terminations. The nation will approve of his actions.

Enough with the “Rosenstein” talk. Can anyone put Rosenstein on the spot and demand an accounting of his actions.
