    Chris Geidner Retweeted Axios

    I asked Special Counsel's Office for clarification on how Mueller obtained the emails without Trump officials finding out, per @mikeallen, until they were used in questioning. Through a spokesperson, Special Counsel's Office declined to comment.https://twitter.com/axios/status/942136120594321408 …

        SCOOP x 3: That career GSA lawyer also told me that the GSA initially "suggested a warrant or subpoena" for the materials, but that the Special Counsel's Office determined the letter route was sufficient.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-trump-campaign-claims-a-federal-office-illegally-turned?utm_term=.uyZqV12y5#.qkAy7WzBV …

        [I see that while we were in editing some other folks did get and publish the Trump campaign lawyer's letter, so that's not a S-C-O-O-P! Apologies!]

        In an investigation you are not required to reveal your sources

        Replying to @dana_sickels

        I think the question is why the sources didn't reveal themselves. If it came from the transition team their lawyers would have shared that info. I think Chris wants to know what kind of warrant got them to the emails.

        They were on .gov servers. Ergo, owned by the government Mueller works for. Easy peasy!

        If Trump had more interest in competence instead of loyalty, this might not have happened. Thank God he doesn't

        Interesting how FOXNews has no interest in finding out whether it was an unlawful search and seizure of Manafort’s residence? 🤔
