      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!]

          To the right, WikiLeaks giving Trump campaign illegal e-mails was okay, however.

          And public release of private text messages between two FBI agents is also OK. It’s only not OK when it’s their ox....

          My point exactly: the transition team’s e-mails were on government equipment, GSA servers.

          There are probably filters that are monitoring web sites visited, etc. No privacy should ever be expected when using gov computers.

          What part of working for the public do these people on the transition team not understand? Who else is tired of their bullshit? We should all hit them with thousands of FOIA requests.

          "Illegally turned over", kinda like saying Wikileaks* legally* obtained the DNC's emails.

          So, there was a pinky promise with a guy who is now dead, to sneak the emails through to Trump before they were given to Mueller? And now Trump is having a meltdown because said dead guy broke the promise? I’m dead...pic.twitter.com/qsvyWLHLoU
