I think @emptywheel is raising important questions about the scope of the special counsel's investigation.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/864984131607855104 …

I'm not sure what the point is? You think its going to be just another Scooter Libby? I don't think the Plame directive was as broad.
-
Me: Did you follow investigation implicating POTUS where Special Counsel ASKED FOR PERMISSION to expand to obstruction. You: What's point?
-
Well that is a good point, that's why I asked. I don't Mueller has ever asked permission to do anything, but maybe you're right.
-
Yeah, I'm just looking at the most directly relevant precedent. If it were Fitz, he'd ask for permission. Mueller may be different.
-
But unless I'm misremembering, even asking for permission, Libby's team challenged the expansion.
