Not sure it's a crime. And it's a hard sell to the American people to dirty Mueller while trying to rescue an American.

I do believe it presents a conflict, however. That should be examined.

But there are far, far worse things in Mueller's past and in the past actions of his team that impune him and discredit this whole deal.

Unravel U1, HSBC and other items from the past and connect the dots between Mueller, Comey, the Clintons, and so forth. That will be significant.

umm, OK

Melanie Sloan, a former Clinton Justice Department lawyer and longtime ethics watchdog, told me a “far more significant issue” is whether the earlier FBI operation was even legal: “It’s possible the bureau’s arrangement with Mr. Deripaska violated the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits the government from accepting voluntary services.”

Plus this
quote:

Deripaska once hired Manafort as a political adviser and invested money with him in a business venture that went bad. Deripaska sued Manafort, alleging he stole money.

Mueller’s indictment of Manafort makes no mention of Deripaska, even though prosecutors have evidence that Manafort contemplated inviting his old Russian client for a 2016 Trump campaign briefing.

quote:

I was alerted to Deripaska’s past FBI relationship by U.S. officials who wondered whether the Russian’s conspicuous absence from Mueller’s indictments might be related to his FBI work.
