      New tonight: The Justice Dept. has asked a judge to toss out Paul Manafort's lawsuit challenging special counsel Mueller's appointment. How do they start? By arguing that Mueller "is properly operating within the scope of his authority" https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …pic.twitter.com/EDe33mXNuj

      DOJ begins by defending how Mueller has handled the investigation so far, but the government is arguing the judge shouldn't even get there -- that Manafort shouldn't be allowed to use a civil suit to challenge a criminal prosecution https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …pic.twitter.com/9BXFEUgCnq

      DOJ: "[Paul] Manafort has an adequate forum in which to raise his arguments — the underlying criminal action." https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …

      On Count 1 against DOJ re: the validity of Mueller's appointment, brought under the Administrative Procedure Act, DOJ argues it should be tossed because Manafort has another remedy available -- to argue for dismissal in his criminal case https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …pic.twitter.com/itLmy1GvN9

      On Count 2, alleging that even if Mueller's initial appointment was valid he has exceeded the scope of his authority, DOJ argues that Manafort failed to present a legitimate cause of action to give the court jurisdiction https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …pic.twitter.com/QbKlj2N6VI

      DOJ concludes by noting DAG Rosenstein has said, under oath, that Mueller is acting within the scope of his authority (a transcript of Rosenstein's House Judiciary testimony to that effect in December is attached, see: https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rod-rosenstein-said-no-one-has-communicated-to-him-a-desire?utm_term=.bqEaDOZBE#.ujw81mP0L …) https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4365828/2-2-18-DOJ-Mueller-Motion-to-Dismiss.pdf …pic.twitter.com/055EeFgO77

      In other words, Rosenstein secretly changed Mueller's scope after he was appointed -- to include years old, pre-existing, unrelated investigations of Flynn/Manafort -- without notifying the American public? Why would Rosenstein hide this information?pic.twitter.com/Sxzf4Q0aHE

      That's a quote from a hearing that was on TV. How is that hiding anything. Also, you're misreading the Manafort indictment.

          What's the scope? Has the counterintelligence investigation become criminal? Is the President implicated? 24/7 leaks make it appear so. Rosenstein pretty much testified: "Mueller and I know what the scope is, and we agreed." That tells the public nothing.
