“I believe, if Trump, Sessions or Wray jump in to pull the curtain on this, that becomes the story.”
This may be the Curtain Pulling start!
A lawyer for the Trump presidential transition team is accusing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office of inappropriately obtaining transition documents as part of its Russia probe, including confidential attorney-client communications and privileged communications.
In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent to House and Senate committees on Saturday, the transition team’s attorney alleges “unlawful conduct” by the career staff at the General Services Administration in handing over transition documents to the special counsel’s office.
Officials familiar with the case argue Mueller could have a problem relating to the 4th Amendment – which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Kory Langhofer, the counsel to Trump for America, wrote in the letter that the the GSA “did not own or control the records in question.”
But, Langhofer says, Mueller’s team has “extensively used the materials in question, including portions that are susceptible to claims of privilege.”
Trump for America is the nonprofit organization that facilitated the transition between former President Barack Obama to President Trump.
The GSA, an agency of the United States government, provided the transition team with office space and hosted its email servers.
The special counsel’s office did not immediately return a request for comment Saturday.
Fair point, by curtain pulling I mean firing Mueller or demanding end to investigation.
This in my view, along with Trumps rhetoric, is our side facilitating the unravelling.......
I think they are waiting for the IG report and then they will kick it up a notch. Mueller will be forced to respond.
