      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!]

          Oh so SOME emails on government servers SHOULD be “private,” according to Trump? Fox News must be outraged at this flip-flop. “Crooked Donny?”

          They should have just set up an email server in a basement somewhere.

          They could have just gotten a warrant and the transition team would not have to know.

          But surely the essential is that Mueller did not obtain them inappropriately?

          Is the letter to Congress publicly available? Do we know what privilege the Trump transition is claiming?
