“The August 2, 2017 memo was classic bootstrapping. It purported to confirm Mueller’s authority to go after Manafort’s business dealings, but Mueller already was doing that and had been doing it for weeks, culminating in the July 26 home raid. So to the extent the Rosenstein August 2, 2017 memorandum is supposed to instill confidence that Mueller is receiving proper DOJ oversight, it does just the opposite.”
Related: “So yes, it is reasonable to say the Trump-Russia investigation endangers the rule of law.”
I wonder if this will allow Manafort’s lawyers to ask that anything taken in the raid not be allowed?

Not if the trial is in DC. Conrad Black was absolutely innocent but was tried in Chicago, a Democrat S hole..
Sorry – off toic, but another one for your ‘Self Driving Overlords’ file.

” Mueller’s authority”
Mueller is engaged in the prohibited practice of entrapment… The FBI interviews by Mueller produced “alleged” lies… The FISA warrant was illegal & all investigative evidence is MUTE….Nothing in Mueller’s entrapment scam is admissible in a “REAL” Court…. The FBI is engaged in racketeering by litigation threats that will bankrupt the targeted individual….
We need an entrapment statute with a criminal penalty that would put Mueller & his band of sleaze in the Pen for >10 years
Mueller has a well know history of doing just that. Which, in my opinion, should have disqualified him as a Special Whatever …
When Trump is interviewed by Mueller… Trump should know enough about Mueller that the one’s leaving in hand-cuffs will be Mueller & his sick gang of sleaze…. His is a political agenda without criminal probable cause.. Little Jeff better have Grand Jury indictments READY to go….Yes it’s time Mueller spends time with a biker cell mate
Rosenstein, another crooked joo, or am I not allowed to point that out????
As Rush Limbaugh put it today, this targeting of Trump’s people is criminalization of political differences.
In retrospect, it’s clear all the Obama politicos appointed to government (ie non-political/party) positions should all have been removed including Rosenstein and many others. Time to finish draining the swamp.
Investigate them. Fire them. Charge them. Seize their ill gotten assets. Perp walk them. Jail them. All of them.
That is the only solution to the abuse of process and powers we’ve seen.
