(CNN)Last month, when President Donald Trump was asked by The New York Times if special counsel Robert Mueller would be crossing a line if he started investigating the finances of Trump and his family, the President said, "I think that's a violation. Look, this is about Russia." The President is absolutely correct. Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing. According to a CNN article, Mueller's investigators could be looking into financial records relating to the Trump Organization that are unrelated to the 2016 election. According to these reports, "sources described an investigation that has widened to focus on possible financial crimes, some unconnected to the 2016 election." The piece goes on to cite law enforcement sources who say non-Russia-related leads that "involve Trump associates" are being referred to the special counsel "to encourage subjects of the investigation to cooperate."
This information is deeply concerning to me. It does not take a lawyer or even a former federal prosecutor like myself to conclude that investigating Donald Trump's finances or his family's finances falls completely outside of the realm of his 2016 campaign and allegations that the campaign coordinated with the Russian government or anyone else.

translation: Hey, Nancy, you want to try and impeach me? We may as well make it over something GOOD!
Just read this one:
“BREAKING: *WHITAKER SAID TO TAKE OVER MUELLER PROBE: U.S. OFFICIAL”
Whoa!
We have the Senate! Things could get real!
Uh Oh. Watch out Mueller.
CNN is America’s permanent bureaucracy and Deep State’s Pravda or People’s Daily. Once they criticize one of their own, that person is about to be purged.
Wow if true ....I wonder if RR will resign in protest
Also it wouldn’t surprise me if the FISA declassification happen thus week
SWEET! That WAS a chess move by the President, several actually:1. take the Senate, the Republicans in the House are Deep State anyway 2. Fire thine enemies after the midterms. See #1 3. Hire who YOU choose. See #1. 4. Wait until the Dems see that they have been had 5. Have a huge party.
LOL !!! You nailed it - 3D CHESS MOVE !!!
This ain’t CNN. It is Whitaker ON CNN.
CNN is running it. Classic Pravda or People’s Daily.
A new opinion has been released.
Someone on another thread just questioned whether mittens would vote to confirm. Just another little something to fume over. But imo, Mitch will make sure Trump gets his picks.
Well, well, well, Mr. Mueller, not only are you getting shut down, but apparently your budget books will probably be opened as well.
He needs to demand their declassification while we shave control of the House. Schiffless needs not to be in control of that.
HAVE control. Eye roll.
Trump knows what’s in those FISA docs.
That's right - he holds all the cards ...
What should happen is that Me. Whittaker should not touch Mueller and, instead appoint a second Special Counsel to investigate the FISA doc, the Clinton Investogstion, the Dossier AND ALL MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
Wow
Maybe this is why President Trump worked his ass off to gain seats in the Senate..my Mom kept on asking me “How come he isn’t trying to win seats in the House” UH, because the Senate is FAR MORE important!
RELASE THE DOCUMENTS!
and Rosenstein didn't, and it did and does.
Mueller signaled he would wrap up his report after midterms. Well, midterms are over. Release the report by Friday.
