It would be maximum #resistance time, yep.
So, if I understand your point of view, it is that Mueller is investigating Obama, and this investigation is part of what is redacted in Rosenstein's scope memo, and Obama is also within the "investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government" scope that Comey described.
And since this investigation into Obama is currently hidden from public view, it is also the reason that the DOJ is resisting providing an unredacted scope memo to Congress.
I don't mean to limit that analysis to Obama. I used a specific name becuase it is easier toread and I think easier to describe how I see your point of view. You could substitute another name in there if you want. You offered Clinton and McCain as well.
If we have a difference of opinion on the wisdom of public disclosure, it's because you think Obama (or Clinton) is a taget, and I don't think that. I am convinced, totally, that the only targets is Rosentein's scope memo are Trump and his associates.
And get this by Comey - who said Trump was not under investigation ...
WARNER: And my understanding is, prior to your meeting on January 6th, you discussed with your leadership team whether or not you should be prepared to assure then President-Elect Trump that the FBI was not investigating him personally.Now, my understanding is your leadership team agreed with that. But was that a unanimous decision? Was there any debate about that?
COMEY: Was it unanimous? One of the members of the leadership team had a view that, although it was technically true, we did not have a counterintelligence file case open on then-President-elect Trump.
His concern was, because we're looking at the potential -- again, that's the subject of the investigation -- coordination between the campaign and Russia, because it was President Trump -- President-elect Trump's campaign, this person's view was, inevitably, his behavior, his conduct will fall within the scope of that work.
And so he was reluctant to make the statement that I made. I disagreed. I thought it was fair to say what was literally true: There is not a counterintelligence investigation of Mr. Trump. And I decided, in the moment, to say it, given the nature of our conversation.
