      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?

      Replying to @dansolomonza @AndrewCMcCarthy

      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.

      Replying to @emptywheel @AndrewCMcCarthy

      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.

      Replying to @dansolomonza @AndrewCMcCarthy

      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?

      Replying to @dansolomonza @AndrewCMcCarthy

      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?

      Have you read the heading of the appointment letter by the way? “Appointment of Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election and related matters”. How much clearer can that be?

      I'm sorry. Have you not understood when I said 1) this has been litigated 2) publicly reported 3) reinforced in subsequent press releases 4) (and also backed by my personal reporting and experience).

          You say litigated, do you mean in court? Looking at Ellis ruling on Mueller legitimacy, page 10 quotes EXACTLY what I quoted in my tweets. Pg.10 https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000164-3dc7-dbdc-a96d-3dff8c890001 …

          You mean those three bullets, which proves my point. You are wrong, and so is Andy, but again, I understand why you badly want not to be wrong.

          I don’t understand the argument. It was the Russia investigation, the Trump campaign piece was a part of it, and regs say there’s no right to challenge DOJ on it. To say Rosenstein shouldn’t is not to say he couldn’t. What’s done is done.

          That's false Andy. You're simply wrong (I've got firsthand proof, on top of both my own and others reporting, you're wrong), but I understand why you badly need to believe that.
