Hold your breathe. If something was there you think they would hesitate to act? For what purpose?

Flynn's emails were in there. Flynn is now a guilty cooperating witness.

Flynn emails were in the privileged cache? Link? Flynn cooperating has really done a lot of good. Zero.

This is a huge and complex investigation. They didn't indict Flynn for months after they knew he lied to them. This is remedial stuff, Bonds.

And 4.4b seems to apply to inadvertantly received evidence. The GSA counsel says Mueller asked for it himself. What's inadvertant about that?

Exactly. The average special counsel investigation goes on for years. They don't just drop an indictment the first moment they have cause. Who knows if anything will come of this, but something sure seems to have spooked Trump.

Even further ethical violations. Using power to obtain privileged info. I don't think thats the route you want to take.

The Associated Press reported that the GSA turned over a flash drive containing tens of thousands of records on Sept. 1 after receiving requests from Mueller's office in late August.

Those records included emails sent and received by 13 senior Trump transition officials. Among the officials who used transition email accounts was former national security adviser Michael Flynn,

I'm sure you will have no problem with the pending special counsel investigating Mueller, his bias, and his abuse of power.

The protocol for investigating malfeasance in a DOJ official is an OIG investigation, so I'm sure if there's cause Horowitz will investigate and ok by me.

Look up the OIG investigation doc alluded to. It's already underway.

You see what you want to see. This is standard practice for attorneys to cite violations.

Furthermore, and yeah I'm going out on a limb here and not bothering to look this up (that's my superpower), but isn't there a general public interest in these documents that would cause them to fall under FOIA obtainable/mandatory to keep laws.

Given that almost no one involved was actually in government at the time, how can anyone with a straight face claim that HRCs personal emails are public property but this shite isn't?

They also appear to be pulling that new trick of asserting a potential future executive privilege, which in this case is a strech even for them, they weren't in the executive at that point.

This is the internal investigation that was triggered by the odd circumstances of the Hillary Clinton investigation under Comey. It's the same investigation that caught up Strzok when he OIG examined his FBI issued phone. As far as I know it doesn't involve the Mueller/SC investigation per se, just Strzok since he was involved in the Clinton investigation too.

Alleged violations yeah.

My wife is an attorney in Texas. Occasionally we deal with some folks from the East Coast, she says she has to remember to set her bullshite detector to "everything" when she's dealing with them because they talk like literally every single aspect of every feature of case is in their favor.

This happen in Texas too but the opposing counsel is generally more polite and deferrent about it.

This sounds like a typical bluster and hope move from Trump's attorneys. They're not jumping up and down the way I'd expect if they'd found something actually worth a shite.

No, I mean Trump himself (as well as the Congressional R's). He gave a speech to police at the FBI academy highly critical of the FBI, mentioned publicly that he wasn't "yet" ready to consider a pardon of Flynn, and a congressional Republican came out for the firing of Mueller.

At first I thought it was just because of the stories Mueller had subpoenaed bank info related to Trump after Trump had declared his finances a "red line" back in July (NYT interview), but now I'm wondering if it was discovering Mueller had these transition emails.

None of this is congruent with reality.
