Rosenstein mandate to Mueller: "to serve as Special Counsel '''to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation''' of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election”, i.e. to take over and continue a FISA Title I counterintelligence investigation with the illegal evidence accumulated by the Obama DOJ and FBI. | + | *'''17 May.''' Rosenstein mandate to Mueller: "to serve as Special Counsel '''to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election."''' Lisa Page later testifies under oath that '''after nine months of the most invasive surveillance capabilities of the U.S. government, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.'''<ref>https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/406881-lisa-page-bombshell-fbi-couldnt-prove-trump-russia-collusion-before-mueller</ref> Questions remain over the legality of Rosenstein's appointment of Mueller. By statute, a Special Counsel can only be appointed in criminal investigations; Comey's Trump-Russia investigation was a counterintelligence investigation, not a ciminal investigation. Comey's illegal, felonious [[fake news]] [[leak]] of his memo is an effort to create a criminal obstruction of justice charge against Trump, however Rosenstein's mandate clearly authorizes Mueller to continue the FBI counterintelligence investigation into Russian meddling. What's more, the mandate makes no mention of authorizing Mueller to pursue unrelated banking and tax fraud charges against [[Paul Manafort]], which Rosenstein himself deemed unmerited for prosecution a decade earlier. |
