Axios: Trump officials demand Mueller return thousands of emails
Officials of President Trump's transition team plan to ask Special Counsel Robert Mueller to return "many tens of thousands" of transition emails they contend were unlawfully provided to him. But the prosecutor's office says emails being used in the investigation were properly obtained.
What's new: A source close to Trump's transition, which still exists as a legal entity so it can shut down what was once a 1,000-person operation, said the transition will send a letter to Mueller informing him that some of the emails are privileged, and asking for their return. The transition says it is willing to provide Mueller with vetted emails.

WNU Editor: The Mueller team is defending its actions .... Mueller team defends obtaining Trump transition emails (The Hill). As to what is my take .... I am raising an eyebrow .... I recall very clearly that the Mueller Commission was established to investigate events before the election .... so why this? The answer is revealed by Mueller spokesman's explanation to The Hill .... these emails are being used to question witnesses (i.e. search for a process crime), as well as looking for new leads. I am not impressed. This seizure of emails is just making the case for the critics of the Mueller investigation that the Commission has put aside its original mandate and is now on a partisan fishing expedition.

It must be noted that transition team officials all previously signed agreements that informed them of the monitoring of government servers, so they should not have reasonably expected to have privacy in these discussions. However, the emails are said to heavily feature correspondence to and from Jared Kushner. The Trump son-in-law was reportedly fielding all sorts of flotsam (including a “backdoor overture”) from Russia.
alas, a number of links go to 2 types of things
1. Mueller team seizes....
2. Trump and associates say it was illegally done
tip: there are any number of sources that are NOT from Trump that assert that what was done was legally done...those links not here. Makes a lad sort of wonder about bias here
Fred. I posted in my commentary the Mueller response to these claims and why it was legal. With the exception of FOX, I also purposely posted links only to media organizations that have been supportive of the Mueller investigation.
"It must be noted that transition team officials all previously signed agreements that informed them of the monitoring of government servers"
Unless you are Hillary Clinton. Then you can destroy Blackberries and laptops. You can have a private email server. Anyone who works for the government, if they are honest are furious, because they take security training once a year. They know the score. We have a lot of lying media.
You might cow people using the media & crooked politicians and get people somewhat compliant, but if the structure is rotten, they will let you down. In the days of the sword, people would cut of their right thumb so they could not be drafted into the Roman Empire for example. In the modern day they withhold tax money, not volunteer for the military, or hold back in countless ways.
There have been people who say these thongs take 2 or 3 years. Well, these clowns in the FBI started spying in 2016. It has been 2 years and we will be in year 3 soon are are already there. All we see is lawfare.
Short term the Democrats can perhaps win in their civil war. Long term they cannot win, because they are too debased and too corrupt.

Donald Trump, rapist,
One of the female accusers sent a nice letter a year after the alleged traumatic incident.
Roy Moore, pedofile,
Lawyer Bloom backed a woman that forged a year book inscription.
Lawyer Bloom was offering $750,000 or more. Lawyer Bloom is offering 25% to 50% of what people make in a lifetime just to show up to a press conference. Bloom should be disbarred.
Ralph Shorty, child slaver,
Mr. Shorty is or was a state rep. I am not going to check the story, because I have already seen it in one of the news sources I read, The Daily Mail. About the only way that Mr Shorty can vote Republican now is if he moves to a Blue/Democrat state if or when he gets out. In places like Virginia, Democrat governors let pedophiles vote. I would like to point out to Jay that his brethren, liberal gays, yest they are his brethren because they are part of the Left, will come out against Jay. The reason being is that gays have no problem with older men say 40 being with a 16 year old boy or one even as young as 12. Mr shorty's sin is being a Republican and being caught now instead of 10 years form now. It is not that liberal gays think that what he did was wrong. For back up look at the reaction to Obama;s safe school czar and to how liberal's lionized Harry Hays.
Any Mr. Shorty is no longer part of the Republican party while Bill Clinton is part of the Democrat Party and will most likely take part in the next Democrat National Convention. This after pal'ing around with someone, who is a convicted pedophile. The only reason Clinton has not been convicted is that the liberal press is not interested in the Lolita flights.
This is the big difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats often get a wave off for crimes and are still lionized by their fellow party members.
Dan Johnson, rapist,
That is an allegation.
Phillip Giordiano, pedofile,
Giordiano must not be a national figure. All I can find is something about Waterbury, Connecticut. Is Jay talking about a city official?
