A newly declassified memorandum from Rod Rosenstein shows that the former deputy attorney general used bogus claims from discredited Clinton campaign operative Christopher Steele to justify Robert Mueller's investigation of the Trump campaign.
Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s memo authorizing Robert Mueller’s anti-Trump investigation was riddled with conspiracy theories lifted straight from the bogus dossier of Christopher Steele, a newly released, less redacted version of the memo shows. The memo, portions of which were declassified on April 30, 2020, specifically targeted former Trump campaign affiliates Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and one individual whose identity is redacted.
The Aug. 2, 2017 scope memo, which was provided by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to the Senate Judiciary Committee following requests from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., cited Steele dossier collusion conspiracy theories about Manafort and Page.
Rosenstein ordered Mueller to investigate allegations that Page “committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election[.]” The same language was used to justify the targeting of Manafort.
Rosenstein’s memo also peddled discredited legal theories about the Logan Act, a 1799 law criminalizing political speech by American citizens that has never been successfully prosecuted, to justify investigations of former White House National Security Adviser (NSA) Michael Flynn. The scope memo directed Mueller to investigate allegations that Flynn “committed a crime or crimes by engaging in conversations with Russian officials during the period of the Trump transition.”

On August 2, 2017 Donald John Trump had been President for 194 days, and his subordinate Rod Rosenstein wrote that memo.
Think on that.
You both seem to presume that the Democrat-CIA-FBI-media conspiracy to remove a popular GOP President who had just humiliated the Democrat nominee in a can't lose election in 1972 was somehow DIFFERENT than the IDENTICAL conspiracy BY THE SAME ACTORS in 2016.
Crossfire Hurricane - Mueller Investigation - Adam Schiff - Jerrold Nadler tried to rerun the Watergate script, and if it were not for "social media" it would have worked.
“It isn’t Graham these people need to be worried about.”
By “these people”, do you mean the Deep Staters — Strzok, Comey, etc.? Because you’re right; THOSE people don’t need to be worried about Graham. He’s on THEIR side, in cahoots with McCain. If McCain had his assistant schlepping dossiers and other stuff among agencies, you can bet Graham knew about it at best, or was involved in it at worst.
I have often wondered if Rosenstein and Mueller obtained Pardon Letters from POTUS Trump in that meeting the day before Mueller was appointed SC and this whole thing was a sting operation.
Think about the warm and gushy retirement party DOJ threw Rosenstein with Barr in attendance.
How did you know I was old and burnt out? :-)
I pray that you are right about these jerks having to pay for their crimes.
That would be cool! I’m wondering how the MSM and the Democrats will attempt to spin this. They never, ever admit that liberals do anything wrong.
Empirical data seems to reflect this. However, we have a new sheriff in town and now that Schiff was caught in a lie, I don’t think this is going to be swept under the rug.
