      Note: Mitch McConnell also expressed his support for Mueller after Gang of Four meeting. That leaves Brave Sir Ryan and Burr silent (the latter of whom generally keeps secrets). Trey Gowdy: FBI’s Use of Informant for Trump Campaign Was Appropriatehttps://thebea.st/2J0aPxe

      That said, I expect Gowdy may have to reprise this refrain before things are done, bc he's operating as if Trump is acting in good faith.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5OGuG6j0Kc …

      Also, yes, I meant to say "Gang of Eight," though I'm not sure what Gang was included in last week's briefings.

      Finally, people, please give up hope any Member of Congress is going to be targeted by Mueller. The S&D protections would be formidable to overcome.

          @steve_vladeck Any thoughts on this ⬇️Q? My read of the Proxmire case, esp fn 10: The answer is probably "No." But of course that was a civil case & so that situation wd necessarily be different from what wd happen here with eg a HPSCI member & the WH. https://twitter.com/KDbyProxy/status/998694605397921792 …

          Tbc, I have no basis for saying Mueller will or won't target them. \_(?)_/ All I am saying is: If he did, S/D wouldn't protect them – eg, if they passed to Trump info they'd received at the Rosenstein briefing specifically to help Trump stymie Mueller.

          How would that be illegal? Trump still is OCA, and the GJ precedent from 2002 would also support them sharing.

          I don't know that the classification of the info passed to Trump would matter. The challenge would be proving the person who passed it did so "corruptly".

          I've been wondering if Trump's most recent tweets about Mueller and the midterms might just mean Mueller is looking at Nunes for Obstruction.

          It's just hard to imagine such sycophancy and blatant aid in obstruction unless they're also guilty of the same crimes.
