re: Judge Ellis has been given scope memo from Mueller

You do realize that the DOJ is a creation of Congress? So Congress does have oversight it would be folly to argue otherwise

Personally, I'd like Congress to use the power of the purse and stop funding for the OSC. These guys are nothing but fishermen going all the way back to Lawrence Welsh and Ken Starr

Congress has oversight over the DOJ. they have oversight over rosenstein. They don't have direct oversight of Mueller.

You don't want mueller providing information directly to congress. You want it to go through DOJ if you are a trumps supporter. Otherwise mueller could document to congress what was done in the trump campaign, and then it would immediately go public. The DOJ provides a buffer.

Shutting down the investigation now just makes you look guilty as frick.

i thought we already knew the memo? and knew that it said "anything else arising from" or something of that nature?

Different Rosenstein memo. The one you're mentioning is Rosenstein's memo appointing Mueller SC and outlining the overall scope of the investigation. It was learned in the process of Manafort challenging his charges within the scope of the SC investigation that Rosenstein had written a second memo (dated Aug. 2, 2017) which more specifically authorized Mueller's scope with regard to the Manafort aspect of the investigation.

As you can see here, though, most of the particulars were redacted.

Well... it’s new and the story is still developing so... it’s BREAKING news.
People need something new to bitch about.

And you make my point for me. Let's say trump is 100% innocent, this wouldn't stop mueller from sharing something with congress. And congress leaks like a sieve, so everyone would know.

---

If he’s innocent, what’s Mueller going to share with Congress?

You’re just talking in circles now. Easier than admitting you have no clue, I guess.

Congress has had access to sensitive info for months but continue on with the lies

quote:

Rosenstein, aware of the threats against him, has taken unusual steps to try to meet the demands, adding employees to review the requested files and sharing unredacted documents normally off limits to Congress — including memos drafted by former FBI Director James B. Comey about his interactions with Trump. The department has even set up office space at its headquarters for congressional staff members and lawmakers to review hundreds of thousands of documents already studied by the department’s inspector general, according to a department official.

The problem is the pubs want to undermine an open investigation and share the info with Trump. That's all this is. This is like the mob getting to jurors

They’ve strung this out so long, they’ve hit the point of diminishing returns. If he shut it down tomorrow, there’d be a hue and cry in the media but the fact is, he’d suffer minimal fallout with the public. The Dems have badly overplayed their hand.
