Isn’t this what the SCO did with Cohen?

How is the payment related to collusion with Russia to influence the election?

Are you saying the SC was appointed to investigate Trump's entire life regardless of any connection to Russian collusion with the election?

You've just proven the point of this thread.

Let's throw illegally obtained in there if that's what you need to float your boat.

The sc will move to jaywalking from 50yrs ago... if they think they can "get him".

Msm hosts and articles would have a deeply concerned, ominous tone when discussing the jaywalking, also. They would claim how serious it is.

And some democrat politicians would get on tv and say shite like - "the president is just trying to change the subject.. but we aren't having it, he has to answer for his crime.".

I never said that. Hence my weapons analogy.

I'm referring to the entire investigation. What prevents Congress from investigating Russian collusion? What prevents Congress from establishing a commission, consisting of former intelligence officials and investigate reporters, to find out all they can about Russian meddling? What prohibits Congress from investigating allegations of obstruction of justice? They have the right to subpoena witnesses during the course of an investigation and fact find. They also can refer complaints to DOJ for prosecution.

The Special Counsel is a secretive and unaccountable authority. We deserve to know the facts about Mueller's investigation and the facts, or the lack thereof, that he's uncovered. Otherwise this whole saga will never end.

Are you paying attention to anything or just making shite up as you go?

The one body that should have access to that information is being blocked. Congressmen have repeatedly requested the DOJ give them the memo regarding the scope of the Russia probe and they've been repeatedly denied.

Not sure how you know exactly what the investigation is for when Congress doesn't.

Isn't that what police do when they enter your house with a warrant. Look for any illegal activity?

What is your point?

If the SCO during the course of its investigation comes across information involving a potential crime not within its jurisdiction then it consults with the DOJ as to whether it gets additional jurisdiction or refers to matter to a US attorney with jurisdiction.

In the Cohen case, SDNY was determined to have jurisdiction.
