Nice work.

To get Mueller back in the box Sessions will have to reassert that he has recused only from matters relating to the Trump campaign and nothing else, and that Mueller must confine himself to campaign related matters only. Looking into associates’ business dealings from a decade ago is not campaign related.

Unfortunately Sessions seems to be running away from a number of issues. Public pressure might change that.

Your post needs to be given greater exposure and driven into discussion by the pundit class. This public exposure might force Sessions to act.

“To get Mueller back in the box “

This may not even be possible. Mueller is on a vendetta for firing his BFF and he probably hates Trump. But something must be done.

Thanks for the compliment. Hats off to Alberta's Child for suggesting the link between the scope of Mueller's assignment and the scope of Sessions' recusal (Alberta's Child to Cboldt - 07/22/2017 5:41:55 PM PDT).

That's not the only way to get there, and if he does that, I think it better if Sessions does that in private, addressed to Rosenstein only. Sessions can't be seen as interfering with Mueller.

Rosenstein, on the other hand, created Mueller, has a regulatory duty to constrain Mueller's jurisdiction, and has a regulatory duty to enforce all the other DoJ regulations that Mueller might violate.

I've seen signs of the mission creep aspect pop up, before I even composed this. The question of there be no basis in the first place, that angle has not been played, and I hope it is. It is a more difficult intellectual exercise though, compared with mission creep. The mission creep thing is "how does that relate to the campaign?" over and over and over and over, Crimson and Clover.
