I hate to be a Debby Downer, Steve, but the statute of limitations has no bearing on this matter, if you ask me.
This isn't a "criminal investigation" per se, but a "background check".
It is my considered legal opinion (haha) that neither jurisdiction nor legality has any bearing on the legitimacy of an "FBI investigation" in this case.
At this point, it's about politics only. No criminal charges will be filed or are planned for, even by the derps. All they need is to turn a couple of votes and BAM. Mission accomplished.
So we best not hang our hats on the statute of limitations or jurisdiction. Trump has "ordered" an investigation so there will be one.
And I'm not even sure that a one week limit on the investigation is gonna fly. There are myriad ways the derps can play for time. Watch and see.
Keep in mind that [RR] expanded the scope of Mueller's investigation and he's still in office. Watch out for his shenanigans.
It will take some ballsy moves by the FBI to nip this in the bud. That's what I'm holding out hope for.

Good points Bagster, But this one week ‘investigation’ is limited to current allegations only. If the Dems try to bring more crazies to the table, they will be shown the door.
POTUS is comfortable with a one week delay.
I’m confident Judge K will be Justice K soon.
Hey, I’m having a drink-first in like, a year! Am I an alcoholic??? I’ve been thinking about it all day...and you know what that means!

As this is all Shakespeare in the Park, do we know that the FBI has NOT been investigating this in the background since DiFiChiSpy received the letter or before? Or, that NoSuchAgency hasn’t been capturing the chatter between people involved who maybe are being watched (under FISA warrant)?
The ‘one week’ limitation seems strange, and I don’t think Trump would come out with that if he didn’t already have the results in his back pocket.
First paragraph of MD reply : to do anything, the victim must file a report. We dont investigate by proxy.
To quote WC Fields, Go away, boy. You bother me.
The burden of proof remains with the accuser and so far she has provided nothing that would enable an investigation. To the contrary, those she alleges were present have provided sworn statements that they have no knowledge of any of what was alleged.
