§ 600.4 Jurisdiction.
(a)Original jurisdiction. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsels investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted.
(b)Additional jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of his or her investigation, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional matters within the Special Counsels jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere.
(c)Civil and administrative jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel determines that administrative remedies, civil sanctions or other governmental action outside the criminal justice system might be appropriate, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General with respect to the appropriate component to take any necessary action. A Special Counsel shall not have civil or administrative authority unless specifically granted such jurisdiction by the Attorney General.
I repeat:
The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated.
The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated.
The judge should rule that Rosenstein’s appointment of Mueller was illegal because of the lack of lack of a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated and because of the mixing of Title-1 and Title-3 authority. The investigation should be halted, all indictments voided, and the evidence sealed as the fruit of a poisonous tree.
...The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated...
Put in a Clintonesque manner, it all depends on what your definition of a specific factual statement is.
Picking apart the relevant portion of part B...If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned...
Manafort is alleged to have received cash from Ukraine in 2005. IIRC, Ukraine was a state independent from Russia. Therefore, no cash was received from Russia,this no relevant connection to the investigation.
