      Let's not conflate beating up on a political flack like McCabe w beating up on law enforcement.

      Does Mueller count as law enforcement?

      Replying to @emptywheel

      Generally yes, I'd say. But his Russia collusion thingie is supposed to be a counter-terrorism investigation, no? In any case, saying that it needs to be wrapped up, or focus on Russia collusion, is not "beating up on law enforcement", IMHO.

      The term "collusion" is one invented by propagandists on both sides to obscure that this investigation is about conspiracy.

      1. If Mueller is conducting an investigation re whether there was a conspiracy between Trump campaign and Russia (I'd actually prefer either campaign and Russia, but whatever) I think there is a very broad support to let him conclude that. I certainly support it as a citizen.

      2. But I don't think it's his job to investigate if Kushner or Manafort laundered dirty money. Not that I'm in favor of them laundering money, just think that's the job of NY AG, not Mueller.I think Mueller needs to be monitored that he sticks to investigating conspiracy w Russia

      The accusation against Manafort is that he laundered money TO HIDE that he was pursuing the interests of RU backed UKR party. It's also that he laundered money to try to stay afloat during the period he worked for free for Trump. That's a key background step.

          Similarly, to the extent that Mueller is investigating the pitches Jared entertained, I suspect it's part of a ConFraudUs charge that the actions they took during transition did not represent US interests. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/21/jareds-clearance-and-the-foreign-policy-version-of-conspiracy-to-defraud-america/ …

          2. Whether Paul Manafort or Michael Flynn were laundering money/avoiding disclosure/running a black mkt kidney ring, let the appropriate Agency investigate them. Why does it require a Special Prosecutor and Natl Attention?

          3. If, OTOH, Trump and family (or HRC and Bill and Chelsea) made deals w FSB to gain an advantage, that merits Mueller and everything the “Colusion Story” has been

          So you want Mueller to prove the quid pro quo without first collecting the data on the quid pro quo?

          1. No, he should do what he’s doing, as long as his objective is to prove conspiracy between either campaign and FSB. If at the end of it he tells me he’s indicting Jared for bribing the electric inspector or laundering money or trading w Iran, I think he should pass it to

          1. I would say all fine and good, but the only question that deserves such Natl Attention is whether either campaign knowingly conspired w agents of Russian govt to gain an advantage. Pls tell me if there is a separate or different matter that merits to hold the Union captive.
