WASHINGTON - Special Counsel Robert Muellers office notified a federal court in Virginia on Thursday it had filed under seal an unredacted memorandum that is expected to shed light on the scope of his wide-ranging probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The filing, made as part of Muellers criminal case against President Donald Trumps former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was requested by the judge, who told prosecutors earlier this month he wanted to see an unredacted copy of an August 2017 memo written by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein which fleshed out Muellers investigative mandate.
In a court hearing two weeks ago in the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge T.S. Ellis told Muellers office to turn over a copy of the memo under seal to him by this Friday so he could review it before deciding whether or not to dismiss the charges against Manafort.

Why is the memo even secret? It alleges to be an attempt to set the scope of an investigation into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election and if the Trump campaign knowingly assisted or coordinated that effort. The scope of the investigation shouldn’t be secret (some of the investigation might need to be secret, but not the scope of the investigation). RELEASE THE MEMO.
Then what does this mean?

BTTT
Lets hope the judge gets on with bringing some “justice” into matters.
Its hard for me to see that lately down in the swampland.
But I guess I need to cool it for now and see what Judge Ellis comes up with.
A Republican appointed judge I understand and one might think he would like to correct Democrat judge’s games disguised as justice.
lets contrast and compair
There is the possibility that Manefort is the plant and this charade is to protect his identity.
All is now poison fruit from a poisoned tree. Sadly, too many republicant blackmail files will prevent the Congress from doing the job they should be doing, which is removing Rosenslime and Mueller et al from this coup attempt, to Gitmo and hangman’s nooses. And yes, Congress can remove the treacherous pricks by demanding the President (who is the DOJ ultimate boss) demanding these filthy traitors be fired so they can face prosecutions.
The ‘malfeasance’ is far worse than merely DOJ. Congress has been a willing spectator, by their inaction complicit in fact, hoping something will remove the president who threatens their criminal wealth and power syndicate.
Absolutely. The more flagrant, unprecedented and serious Mueller’s misconduct becomes, the more Congress pretends it isn’t happening. They’re backing Mueller 100%, and anybody paying attention knows it.
Too many of both parties are deeply compromised. If Trump remains working for the people, there is a growing chance these dead soul bastards will be exposed.
Because gangsters never destroy evidence!
They want him gone so they can return to destroying America.
True, but give them credit. Along with destroying American Congress is making itself very, very rich. They’re afraid that if the constant attacks and threats ease off, Trump might have the time and political capital to put a crimp in their money gusher.
AKA a witch hunt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9DstddKE58
there is that
Halper may have been feeding tempting lies to Pap; Manefort may have been a know quantity that a SC could count on for reason to seek the broadest warrant; Page was clearly a FBI means to seek the max warrant. The plot has all the hallmarks of a CIA operation with more than one or two ways to run the op, an op which is clearly an attempt at a coup, and now a coup on an elected President, which means treacherous treason. Brennan should be hung by his evil neck until his putrifaction ascends to all Democrat nostrils.
100%
ITEMHillary Clinton ran in the 2008 ad 2016 Democratic primaries and in the 2016 general election.
ITEMS/C Mueller uncovered that the Russian scheme seems to have (cough) "materialized" at some point in 2014.
Now, heres the $64,000 question Muellers not addressing:
Why didnt the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?
Were Obamas PDBs falsified?
Brennan has been outed as working the phony "pee dossier" into Obama's PDB's.
Dates are important b/c Snowdens revelations indicate:
<><>Obamas government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on everyone in the U.S. in 2001.
<><>The Obama police state succeeded in mastering the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.
This we know:
<><>(A) that NSA traffic travels through FBI computers, and,
<><> (B) that the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.
