Former federal prosecutor: Mueller obtaining Trump transition emails "not inappropriate" or unusual

[Ted Frazier]

Just as I suspected, the Trump lawyers were full of shit when they claimed that Mueller getting the emails was illegal. They just want to create the impression of illegality.

Of course Mueller obtained emails from a third party. Prosecutors in most white collar criminal investigations do that. It’s not “inappropriate” or even unusual. Anyone who claims otherwise has no idea what they’re talking about. Fox News on Twitter

If Mueller didn’t follow the law, a court would suppress the evidence so it couldn’t be used. The reason Trump’s lawyers are writing letters to Congress instead of Mueller or a court is because their legal arguments have no merit. Darren Samuelsohn on Twitter

Swalwell mocks report that Mueller obtained Trump transition emails illegally
Source: MSN/The Hill

California Rep. Eric Swalwell (D) ripped the Trump administration on Saturday for claiming that Robert Mueller's special counsel office had obtained tens of thousands of emails from the Trump transition team illegally.

Swalwell responded Saturday to the claim from a lawyer for Trump's transition team, Kory Langhofer, who claimed earlier in the day that Mueller's team improperly obtained thousands of emails from the GSA, which managed the transition team's email accounts.

Swalwell railed against the claim on twitter.

"'Private documents' on a US Government, public email system? What are they afraid was found? Baloney. This is another attempt to discredit Mueller as his #TrumpRussia probe tightens," Swalwell tweeted.

That is not even what the article stated, you just made that shit up. What the fuck, did you think nobody would open it and read it.

Sixty-three percent of polled voters believe that the FBI has been resisting providing information to Congress on the Clinton and Trump investigations.

TRUMP LAWYER: Mueller improperly obtained transition docs

Trumps lawyer needs to take that argument being made in the Media to the Court and ask that the evidence be suppressed ...go to Court and show proof

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

Settle in, politikids. You're going to enjoy this... I've read the full letter Trump transition team attorneys sent to legislators re: Mueller obtaining their emails. It has a delicious reveal. 1/ https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000160-616c-dcd4-a96b-756de2a90000 …
The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago
As we now know: 1) Mueller obtained ALL of the emails sent to/from Trump transition team accounts 2) The Trump gang only realized this after Mueller's team seemed to know all about their emails 3) This made them quite... upset 2/

• The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago

4) Their lawyers then wrote the letter in the link to congressmen complaining about just how upsetting all of this is. Here's the classically amusing reveal in the letter... 3/
The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer
Earlier this year, Trump appointed the top attorney at the office responsible for providing all the electronics and email accounts the Trump transition team used. That attorney's name was Richard Backler.

The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago
Now, as background, Backler was a white collar criminal defense attorney before his appointment. He helped rich criminals beat government convictions for a firm with a name you'll find familiar. Bracewell & Giuliani. 5/

• The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago

So, Trump appointed Backler and then Backler went and ensured Trump transition team attorneys that he would not allow his org (the GSA) to provide any of their emails to investigators. One problem: Backler fell ill and ultimately passed away. 6

• The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago

So, until Mueller's crew started asking Trump aides about those emails, they had absolutely no idea Mueller had them because they thought Trump's guy on the inside was running interference for them. Let that one sink in. 7/

• The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 11h11 hours ago

Trump and his flunkies thought their friend at the GSA had locked their emails away *literally* in a vault no one could get to... They thought their bodies were all buried. 8/
The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 10h10 hours ago
As a result, Trump's people walked into their interviews with Mueller and team with a completely false sense of confidence that he didn't know what he already knew in spades. They thought he was fishing. He was just reeling fish in. 9/

Can you imagine the freakout that must have occurred in Trumpland when they realized their cleanup guy hadn't actually done the cleanup after all? Alllllllll of the things they thought they had buried were not only not buried; Mueller had them in writing! 10

• The Hoarse Whisperer‏ @HoarseWisperer 10h10 hours ago

While this is just conjecture, I suspect the entire Trump orbit just realized that Mueller has a trove that entirely hangs them out to dry AND brings them down for obstruction and lying to Mueller to boot. 11/

Trump appointed a Giuliani guy to protect him from Mueller... ...and then the guy went and died just as Mueller was coming a'calling. Trump must be losing his freaking mind... ...even more panicked: Jared Kushner. Mueller is gonna roast them all. <end>

In a statement to Buzzfeed early Sunday morning, Mueller’s office rebuked claims that investigators obtained the emails inappropriately.

“When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner’s consent or appropriate criminal process,” Special Counsel’s Office spokesperson Peter Carr

‘Appropriate criminal process’: Mueller’s office fires back over Kushner emails — and the Trump team is screwed
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office over the weekend shot down Republican complaints that emails from Trump’s transition team — including inner-circle members like Jared Kushner — were illegally provided to investigators.

We had to endure nearly 4 years of benghazi clown show without evidence.
So now since we have evidence this time, we must endure it.
