“Fruit of the Poisonous Tree” is a 4th Amendment issue. It involves Search & Seizure. It is an extension of the Exclusionary Rule. It has nothing to do with the “SCOPE” of Meuller’s investigation. Too many people have been throwing this phrase around when they don’t know what it is.
Thanks for the clarification. I’m an engineer, as opposed to a lawyer.
Would the overly broad charter for the special council risk invalidating the investigation, if it is deemed by the courts to be illegally broad?
