If DOJ was reviving idea of charging Assange w/ conspiracy in new context of Russian theft of Dem emails, that's Mueller's purview now, no?

No, I don't know TBH. But even if it already has, if there's a Russia 2016 hook, doesn't that mean Mueller now owns it?
-
1) Not by my read, https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/05/17/the-scope-of-the-special-counsel-appointment-is-totally-inadequate/ … 2) Not if they're indicting for Snowden related stuff
-
3) You're more likely than I to be able to get clarification whether Mueller can cover anything outside of scope of Sessions' narrow recusal
-
Adding, even if they do have evidence to merit a RU-related indictment they may want to keep that secret for now.

It seems inevitable Mueller is going to have to coordinate a lot with Boente anyway. Scope of his mandate/autonomy definitely very ambiguouspic.twitter.com/hCiYqydw0w
-
Boente as Acting NSD or Boente as USA for District investigating Assange?
-
Which then raising questions abt value of Mueller over prior status quo save 1) reassure FBI 2) devoted attention.
