Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has seized thousands of emails sent by members of Donald Trump's campaign and transition teams. Trump's attorney's have lodged a complaint, because the emails were sent and received before the start of the Trump administration, and therefore required notice to and permission from the still-existing Trump transition team as agreed to by the GSA. The tens of thousands of emails in question pertain to 13 senior Trump transition officials and even include totally private conversations regarding the selection of people to hold key positions in the Trump administration; such information would, of course, be highly confidential.
On Saturday, Kory Langhofer, general counsel for the transition group,
sent a letter to two congressional committees alleging that the GSA had
improperly provided the transition records to Mueller's investigators. Langhofer also said that a GSA official appointed by Trump in May had
assured the transition in June that any request for records from
Mueller's office would be referred to the transition's attorneys.
Mueller's team has responded by saying that the Trump team used GSA offices and equipment during the transition and that information generated during the transition is therefore subject to review and audit at any time, evidently regardless of any agreements to the contrary. Not only were the documents turned over by GSA to Mueller in September, but the White House did not learn of this until last week, so it was obviously done in secrecy and implies that Mueller knew he was in violation.
I would guess that Mueller and his team are eagerly looking forward to the day when they can set up a gallows on Pennsylvania Avenue and hang Trump in front of God and everybody by his family jewels. Mueller would then supposedly be surrounded by Clinton-Obama minions and members of "the establishment," hoisted upon their shoulders and paraded around Washington in total awe and admiration.
