    One thing people reporting on transition email story NEED to ask your sources: why come public with this now? This has to have been known for months. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/12/16/trump-transition-team-outraged-to-be-treated-as-transition-team/ …

        If you don't ask that question ... you're not really doing journalism then, are you?

        Remember: George Papadopoulos remained in Trump orbit all the way through transition. He flipped in late July. Mueller obtained these emails in August. So possible GP alerted him to stuff withheld.

        Trump team says they didn’t discover until 12/12/17!

        Didn't discover how Mueller had gotten them. They had to have realized he had them in October.

        My guess is the OGR/HJC committee to politicize the Mueller investigation learned of GSA's involvement and told transition team.

        Agreed. I wasn't like he just got them yesterday. Regardless they are public documents.

        Not public but certainly available for subpoena.

        They are public in the sense they are not private. A FOIA request could get them unless there was a valid reason not to supply them.

        He leaked it. Why? He has nothing & wants to be fired.
