      Dear everyone: Mueller is conducting an investigation into possible espionage targeting people who had access to a SCIF. What the fuck kind of legal process do you THINK he needs to get govt docs? Have you ever once followed a single leak investigation?

      If you don't like the FBI being able to access the govt files of people (whether Peter Strzok or Jared Kushner) being investigated as insider threats so easily, push back against Insider Threat programs.

      And note: the very same people SQUEALING abt Mueller obtaining (but not leaking) the govt emails of espionage subjects, HAD LEAKED the texts of Peter Strzok.

          Here's the funniest thing abt Langhofer's letter: in his proposed legislative protection for transition emails, he admits that NatSec would trump notice. How is an espionage investigation not a NatSec purpose? So even w/his proposed law, Mueller could still get the emails.pic.twitter.com/nHucD7kuWu

          The DOJ released the texts, they weren't leaked.

          DOJ released the texts after Members of Congress first leaked them.

          Sorry, but no. That is incorrect. Read some actual articles and not just tweets or headlines and you will find out that the DOJ released and had planned to release the texts as soon as they handed them to congress.

          So timeline in short: (1) Copies delivered to Congress, (2) Some media outlets are in possession of copies of texts (3) Department shows copies of texts to reporters working in the building.

          The letter released by the IG tonight is entirely consistent w my earlier tweets & DAG’s testimony. IG had no objection to release to Congress. We then consulted senior career legal/ethics experts to determine there were no issues w releasing texts to either Congress or press.

          Anybody know how the hell they got those texts in the first place? Were they on gov phones? And why did anybody go looking at an agent's texts?

          Yes, govt phones, so equiv of getting GSA emails. They were obtained as part of IG investigation into Hillary investigation.

          So remind me, the IG was investigating the HRC investigation this summer then? And then somebody selectively leaked what they came up with. That about right?

          this is the point where the truth is the rubber hitting the road and the intellectually challenged talk & act like it didn't . I will never understand how djt can actually believe that the truth follows him on twitter to see what to do next.
