Mueller wants to know more about Trump campaign's ties to NRA
ABC/San Diego, Jan 22, 2019, CNN Newsource

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has expressed interest in the Trump campaign's relationship with the National Rifle Association during the 2016 campaign.

"When I was interviewed by the special counsel's office, I was asked about the Trump campaign and our dealings with the NRA," Sam Nunberg, a former Trump campaign aide, told CNN.

The special counsel's team was curious to learn more about how Donald Trump and his operatives first formed a relationship with the NRA and how Trump wound up speaking at the group's annual meeting in 2015, just months before announcing his presidential bid, Nunberg said.

Nunberg's interview with Mueller's team in February 2018 offers the first indication that the special counsel has been probing the Trump campaign's ties to the powerful gun-rights group. As recently as about a month ago, Mueller's investigators were still raising questions about the relationship between the campaign and the gun group, CNN has learned.

Talk about grasping at straws. This would be funny if our tax dollars weren't being wasted on this.

What?  So, he's pursuing overtly non-criminal associations now?

I'd say this is getting ridiculous but it's been ridiculous (and corrupt) from the get-go. There is no possible justification for this new overreach.

Next he'll want to investigate why Trump didn't help Kevin get back with his family in "Home Alone 2".

Doesn't Mueller have to justify any expansion of his investigation into "Russian Collusion" to the DOJ? He just can't do any damn thing he wants.

There's no expansion of the investigation. Alexander Torshin is a Russian banker, linked to Putin, organized crime in Europe, and Butina, in the DC case. There was a meeting between Don Jr and Torshin at a 2016 NRA convention. It's either substantive or it's not, but it's not unrelated to campaign contacts with Russian individuals.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Not to liberals. Remember Obama wanted gun shops to be treated like drug dealers and stopped from getting SBA loans. https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/18292-obama-administration-choking-off-bank-lending-to-gun-dealers

True.  I need to readjust my way of looking at things.
