      Why does @AndrewCMcCarthy say this? That's not what happened. What happened was Mueller took over a CI investigation OF TRUMP's CAMPAIGN. Part (if not all) of the larger CI investigation were later subsumed in it. Andy might ask why that is. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/what-to-make-of-the-cohen-plea-and-manafort-convictions/ …pic.twitter.com/E2uoER8COl

      Mueller appointment letter stated he was picking up the investigation Comey testified to congress about. "The F.B.I., as part of our counterintelligence effort, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 president election,”

      I read them and they state that in addition to what Comey testified about, Mueller will investigate links to Trump campaign and any additional crimes which might might be uncovered during investigation. Your tweet claimed Russia was NOT what Mueller picked up.. it was..

      That's false, but I understand why Andy is desperate to believe that. I base that on a number of different things: >Plain language >Mueller's team >Other reporting >My own reporting >My own interview w/FBI

      Replying to @emptywheel @AndrewCMcCarthy

      It has nothing to do with what Andy wants to believe, its plain english. “The SC is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director Comey.” I have already tweeted Comey transcript. Are you saying the transcript or the appointment letter is false?

      No. I'm saying you're not reading the bullet points, the public reporting, the Mueller team, or anything else. Andy's wrong. I understand why he needs to believe that. But he is absolutely wrong, and therefore needs to revisit his conclusions.

          Your claim was SC did not pick up CI probe into Russia Interference, my quote shows he did. The bullet points do not remove the previous clause they simply add to it - potential Trump Campaign collusion. Current / further reporting also doesnt change the appointment letter.

          No it doesn't. Again, I've pointed to 4 other kinds of evidence. I mean, SC ultimately DID pick up those CI sides. In November 2017. After finding evidence that parts of those CI investigations needed to be protected.

          I’m still confused, maybe we talking past each other. Mueller at time of appointment was tasked with looking into Russian election interference AND any collusion with the Trump campaign. I have not seen anyone question or deny that point, perhaps until now by you?

          Sure you have. Reuters in February and WSJ in November both reported differently. The GRU indictment press release backs their reporting. Those bullet points have been litigated extensively. Pretty much all the evidence is against you.

          Care to provide me a link for Reuters / WSJ article that states Mueller was not appointed to investigate Russian interference in the election?

          Believe what is written in the appointment letter and Comey transcript? If not the written record, what should one believe?

          I believe what is written. I’m just curious about mccarthy’s need to develop an altered interpretation.
