      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!]

          Could such documents simply be under FOIA? Can transition documents be covered under a privilege claim since Trump was not the executive?https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/12/15/us/politics/epa-scott-pruitt-foia.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/ …
