Why is Mueller investigating anything outside the scope of the 2016 election?

[ColonelAngus]

Mueller has to clear it with Rod Rosenstein if the investigation goes beyond Trump/Putin and the 2016 POTUS election.

 

[Care4all]

We all knew mission creep was going to occur.

it was part of Mueller's assignment to include any possible crimes he may come across during his Russian investigation...

Where does it say that in the original mandate?

It looks pretty clear to me what the scope of the investigation is.

Liberals just absolutely fucking hate facts.

Order 3915-2017 is very specific and very clear.

you simply IGNORE FACTS, right before your very eyes!

Because he doubts that he's going to find any fault with Trump.

Yep. The less he finds for the "Russia collusion" thread, the farther afield he has to go to find something prosecutable, and there is nothing to the Russia collusion story. Nothing.

Everyone knows the "muh Russians" angle is BS by now. The best Mueller can do now is come up with some outlandish "Trumped" up charge, which won't stick.

Trump is President and I'll guarantee you that two years from now, he'll still be President. He hasn't done a thing wrong, but a lot of leftists will go to their graves old and bitter, believing otherwise.

However, the Dims are using this to amass a treasure trove of opposition research on Trump at taxpayer expense. Even if Mewler doesn't indict anyone, he can issue a report at the end of his witch hunt that the Dims will have a field day with.

There is no evidence of any crime at all! None. zilch. Zero!!!

And the less evidence they find.... the more they investigate! These people are SICK!

How can American people put up with this Mueller's dog and pony show baffles the mind.

Ok. Sure thing.

Why did Ken Starr investigate blowjobs? Answer: because he could. Same with Mueller. Rosenstein stated again today that Mueller may pursue any crimes. Any.

Within the scope of the probe. You're just always dishonest.

Kind of like Hillary destroying 33,000 emails.

She broke federal law.

 

[Si modo]

It says it in ii and in iii

AND....look up the meaning...investigate the Russia issue AND any crimes rising from that.

BOTH must be true for the investigation to continue.

If it said OR, you might be right. But it didn't say OR.

You may not ignore what is right before your eyes, you just don't understand it.

It wouldn't do them much good unless they can find something really incriminating. Of course with the help of the fake news cartel, they could turn it into a bunch more nothingburgers that John and Jane Q. Public would eagerly eat up.

Too bad they didn't check out Obama's background this thoroughly when he has first elected. We wouldn't have had to put up with 8 years of that slimy cocksucker.

Rod Rosenstein: Mueller needs to come to me if he wants to chase any crime outside scope of Russia probe

Hmmm......

If special counsel Robert Mueller finds any crime outside the scope of the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, then he'll have to seek permission, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Sunday.

"Bob Mueller understands and I understand the specific scope of the investigation, and so no, it's not a fishing expedition," he told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

 

[skye]

They have nothing on Trump!

And of course if they investigate long enough....probably they might find some stupid technicality and charge him. That's how they caught Al Capone, as everybody knows.

I hope Trump lawyers are very aware of all this and will act accordingly, against the scum that is the Deep State.

"any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)"

§ 600.4 Jurisdiction.

Scared bro?

 

[Reasonable]

The B. Clinton investigation started out about Whitewater but ended up about a semen stain.
How many wingnuts cried about mission creep back in the 90's?

No hands up.
Not surprised.

 

[Kondor3]

Why is Mueller investigating anything outside the scope of the 2016 election?

Because it's all inter-connected and inter-dependent.

I bet the Imperial Cheeto's staff wish he had disclosed his tax returns and divested of his businesses and not fired Comey nor trashed the Department of Justice, eh?

I bet the Imperial Cheeto's staff wish they could shut-him-the-phukk-up.

Six months of nonstop damage control, with very little to show for it.

Say it with everyone else... President Trump, live with it motherfucker. Lol

 

[Reasonable]

They have nothing on Trump!

.

Nope nothing at all.

except for the Flynn thing,

and the Manafort thing,

And the Tillerson thing,

and the Sessions thing,

and the Kushner thing,

and the Carter page thing,

and the Roger Stone thing

and the Felix Sater thing,

and the Boris Epshteyn thing,

and the Rosneft thing,

and the Gazprom thing,

and the Sergey Gorkov thing,

and the Azerbaijan thing,

and the Donald Trump Jr. thing,

and the Sergey Kislyak thing,

and the Russian Affiliated Interests thing,

and the Russian Business Interests thing,

and the Emoluments clause thing,

and the Alex Schnaider thing,

and the DNC hack thing,

and the Guccifer 2.0 thing,

and the Mike Pence "I don't know anything" thing,

and the Russian mysteriously dying thing,

and the Trump's public request to hack Hillary's email thing,

and the Trump's house sale for $100 million at the bottom of the housing bust to the Russian fertilizer King thing,

and the Russian Fertilizer King's plane showing up in Concord, NC during Trump rally campaign thing,

and the Nuñes sudden flight to the White House in the night thing,

and the Nuñes personal investments in the Russian winery thing,

and the Cypress bank thing,

and the Trump not releasing his tax returns thing,

and the Republican party's rejection of an amendment to require Trump to show his taxes thing,

and the election hacking thing,

and the GOP platform change to the Ukraine thing,

and the Steele Dossier thing,

and the Leninist Bannon thing,

and the Sally Yates can't testify thing,

and the intelligence community's investigative reports thing,

and the Trump's constant reassurance that the Russian connection is all "fake news" thing,

So there's probably nothing there since the swamp has been drained, these people would never lie probably why Nuñes cancelled the investigation meetings all of this must be normal just a bunch of separate dots with absolutely no connection.

Thanks for admitting your blatant hypocrisy.

 

[Rambunctious]

Trump is innocent of the accusations of Russian collusion. If that comes out after all the tax dollars that has been spent the people will be outraged. The swamp knows this so they will find something even if it is (Trump pulled Sally's pigtail in 1945).....it's a scam folks!
