“Transition officials assumed that Mueller would come calling, and had sifted through the emails and separated the ones they considered privileged. But the sources said that was for naught, since Mueller has the complete cache from the dozen accounts.” https://t.co/xoR95VcmRH

“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. https://t.co/VZTkwiGmoB… https://t.co/q0HTbwpQRK

The highly coordinated and aggressive nature of this smear campaign against Mueller suggests there are some people who are very worried

— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) December 16, 2017

Agreed. Robert Mueller's attackers are virtually all political operatives & ideologues. They have always been the swamp; he has always been the oasis. But I would caution liberal ideologues also – he is not your savior; he's just a lawman. Respect his findings, whatever they are. https://t.co/hbc6B1XhOg

Mueller hired the best prosecutors & appellate lawyers from DOJ career ranks. They will have acted well within the law & their access to Trump transition team emails will hold up in court, which is the place that will be judged, not on FOXNews. https://t.co/0M1GnYNDgY

It's easy for many citizens to be lulled by the sense that ordinary life goes on, but if we're already at #CDC7words and the smearing of decorated veterans like #Mueller in less than a year, one shudders to think what comes next for our gravely wounded republic.

Insightful (& depressing) account of UK investigations by @anthonybarnett in New York Review of Books. The Trump/Brexit "paradox": illegal machinations must be exposed. But exposing them may weaken democracy further.
