DOJ releases Mueller's marching orders
Politico ^ | 5/06/20 | Daniel Lippman, Kyle Cheney

Posted on 05/06/2020 5:26:30 PM PDT by Libloather

The Department of Justice has released a less redacted copy of a memo laying out the scope of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) after the Judiciary Committee chairman requested it.

The memo, “The Scope of Investigation and Definition of Authority,” was sent on Aug. 2, 2017, to Mueller by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general at the time.

The unredacted bullet points include four names, beginning with former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. It tasks Mueller with determining whether Page committed a crime by “colluding with Russian government officials” as they interfered in the 2016 election.

Mueller also was tasked with investigating whether former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort likewise colluded with the Russian government, whether he committed crimes related to his work in Ukraine, and whether he committed a crime by taking loans from a bank CEO who was pursuing a job in the Trump administration.

The memo makes the same collusion allegation regarding former Trump campaign volunteer George Papadopolous, and also asks Mueller to look into whether he was an unregistered agent of the government of Israel.

Lindsey Graham has protected them all.

Do-Nothing Graham also tainted Guilianni’s evidence without seeing it.

Graham / Burr / Johnson have a pact and they’re stalling to wait out Trump’s Presidency. It’s that simple.

You wont ever be able to trace it back to him. He had minions that were on the same page. Like a mafia Don. “You know that one jon I needed done? Well do it!” I’m just pissed it took 4 years to get just this far. This is out of control. Wray needs to go and take Barr with him!

Everybody in DC knew he was not a natural born citizen and they allowed him to take the oath in violation of the Constitution.

That will be protected at all costs.

We don't want that to happen. The survivors would be relocated to our neighborhoods.
