He needs more than the factual truth. His opponents spin up innocent remarks ("if Russia has the 30,000 emails ...") into a finding that Trump is working with the Russians.
Mueller needs to follow the DoJ regulations that cabin the scope of his jurisdiction. The press has been misrepresenting the scope of Mueller's jurisdiction. Whether or not the press reports are correct remains to be seen, but Trump should be pushing back on scope of jurisdiction.
Mueller's grant refers to Comey's March 20 testimony.
I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts.
To me, this means Mueller's jurisdiction investigates ONLY these angles (and any obstruction related events that occur as these angles are probed):
In relation to Trump defending himself agianst the army of accusers under Mueller's command, I think it is also fair for Trump to research and produce material up to and including the equivalent of the dodgy dossier. That would be a response no stronger than the attack made against him. This is a self-defense principle, he is entitled to use as much force in response, as he was confronted with in the first place. Draw the line at "dodgy dossier" type accusations.
Mueller will have the press on his side no matter what. He will go anywhere he is told to do by the deep state. He needs to be fired.It might be a good thing since the drivebys would then have to talk about that and give up on Russia......
thanx four your insight
