Someone pointed out yesterday on another site the choice of words here.
The Russia investigation was a Counter Intelligence operation, not a criminal investigation.
A huge difference

A very huge difference. Especially in the realm of the Special Prosecutor. If it was a criminal investigation, they’d have to have a law that was violated. As RR’s letter announcing Muellers charter states no such law violation, it’s classified as a counter intelligence, which gives Mueller FAR greater latitude in his ‘investigation’.
