New: Trump officials demand Mueller return thousands of emails


Officials of President Trump's transition team plan to ask Special Counsel Robert Mueller to return "many tens of thousands" of transition emails they contend were unlawfully provided to him. But the prosecutor's office says emails being used in the investigation were properly obtained.

What's new: A source close to Trump's transition, which still exists as a legal entity so it can shut down what was once a 1,000-person operation, said the transition will send a letter to Mueller informing him that some of the emails are privileged, and asking for their return. The transition says it is willing to provide Mueller with vetted emails.


The source told me: "What they did is totally illegal, and they need to fix it." But Peter Carr, spokesman for the Special Counsel's Office, told Axios early this morning: "When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner's consent or appropriate criminal process."
Be smart: Republicans, who have been raising increasing questions about Mueller's office, are prepared to argue that if emails were obtained by questionable means, that could taint or undermine the investigation.

Between the obvious bias on Muller's team and the clown show Trump lawyers have put on so far, it's hard to know who to believe.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Well the GOPe is pathetic so it fits perfectly!

This will provide one of the reasons for which Mueller will eventually be fired and the entire investigation shut down...
