Final paragraph:
If Mueller wants more than a coup stick prosecution, the move against the GSA was one door he should have opened rather than kicked down in his investigation. Only time will tell, of course, but this is a legal complication that was as unnecessary as it was unprecedented.
The transition lawyers insist that Richard Beckler, general counsel for the GSA, reportedly agreed with transition officials that this information belonged to the transition team and that GSA had no right to access or control the records, but GSA denies the comment. The Trump lawyers argue that, when Beckler was hospitalized, Muellers people moved on the seizure and acquired the thousands of messages.
Good analogy - I think it was W’s AG John Ashcroft.
It was Ashcroft in the hospital.
POTUS & Congress need to use this outrageous GSA seizure to HAMMER Rosenstein. I’m so sick of him expressing “confidence” in Mueller.
