re: Our President's attorney's allege illegal conduct by Robert Mueller

From the GSA counsel who turned over the emails:

quote:

---

Specifically, Loewentritt said, "in using our devices," transition team members were informed that materials "would not be held back in any law enforcement" actions.

Loewentritt read to BuzzFeed News a series of agreements that anyone had to agree to when using GSA materials during the transition, including that there could be monitoring and auditing of devices and that, "Therefore, no expectation of privacy can be assumed."

Loewentritt told BuzzFeed News that the GSA initially "suggested a warrant or subpoena" for the materials, but that the Special Counsel's Office determined the letter route was sufficient.

As to whether the Trump campaign should have been informed of the request, Loewentritt said, "That's between the Special Counsel and the transition team."

Above my pay grade but will be curious to see if Langhofer has a leg to stand on here. I'm betting Michael Dreeben was brought in for just this sort of issue, though.

I'm also wondering if the fact that Langhofer claims the materials are "susceptible to privilege claims" but doesn't directly claim them to be actually privileged (then goes on to ask Congress to change the law to prevent impairment of future transitions) is something of a tell of a weak hand, but

Suppose this will be adjudicated if Trump doesn't fire Mueller first. And probably still will even then.

How can we say nothing came of it if the investigation is ongoing?

No real need for adjudication. Mueller saw the privileged communication. Nothing came if it. It just goes to show "honest" bob plays fast and loose with ethics rules. I don't expect you to care. I expect you to attempt to justify it

And he should. Allegations like these are no minor matter. He needs to answer for them.

Except I never said anything about Trump getting caught up

Wait. What? So you agree the investigation is a farce?

You have no idea what he may or may not have

I thought you said they'd not be adjudicated. If these are privileged, won't any evidence & testimony based on them be suppressed?

And it's not true that nothing's come from them. They were apparently being used to guide Mueller's interviews of transition officials (appparently this is how the White House came to know that Mueller had them).

Coming from a guy that lives in his moms basement.

You keep saying "nothing came of it" but the investigation is ongoing.
