To answer that you need to look at his appointment letter here:

http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3726408-Rosenstein-letter-appointing-Mueller-special.html

and reference Title 28 › Chapter VI › Part 600 › Section 600.4 here:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/28/600.4

Seems pretty open-ended.

Open ended in so far as Rosenstein authorizes the expanded scope. Do we know whether he's done that?

@EdJames

Expecting Sessions to have already undone in the 9 months all the damage Eric "The Red" Holder inflicted at the DOJ in the previous 8 years is patently unfair I think.

I agree, it will take quite a bit of time and effort.

Start with bringing in a clean slate of folks. No holdovers. No special prosecutors. Why have assistant US Attorneys. It’s their jobs to prosecute. Why isn’t sessions using them to go after Clinton or anyone else associated with her and her crimes?

We don't know that he isn't.  Assuming that there is a handful of untainted prosecutors that he has enlisted to do just that, they may very well be doing that.  (The point being, is just because there hasn't been a press conference or statement released, it doesn't mean that the work is not underway.)

I don't know that!  But Mueller is sure acting as if he has!

Absolutely right!  And talking about it publically would be entirely improper!

Not to my knowledge.  However, I think that item b.ii. in the letter is fairly broad itself.

I find this to be somewhat encouraging.

Yes it is. But Trump must tread carefully - don't want to breath new life into this charade. Thats exactly what Mueller is hoping for.

Agreed!  That is why they must wait for the IG report to be released.

My first reaction is Thank God for Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch!  Without them and their efforts over the past several years, we would still be in the dark about a great deal of these, and related, topics!

Also, as I have mentioned to you recently, I believe that we should allow for a bit more time to make a judgement on what General Sessions and Director Wray have been doing.  At this moment, I have a bit more confidence in Sessions, but only because I don't know much about Wray and I haven't read or heard anything from him since his confirmation.

I also agree, the IG report will be a very critical element in determining how much faith we should have in swamp draining at this point in time!

After all the high minded praise about how good Mueller was, it comes down to he failed his country by failing to perform a fair unbiased investigation.

He cheated and got caught. May his name go down in infamy, as a crooked political hack.

Trump and Sessions should send him back channel signals, to resign to avoid being canned.

Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of Strzok's name?  I've heard it as 'Strock,' 'Strahzick," and 'Stroyk."

It's almost as bothersome to me as this.......

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I think would make him want to drum up more fake charges to maintain a facade of importance so his fellow Dems can incessantly banter the drums of impeachment again.

1. Terminate every "non-union" employee hired between January 2009 and January 2018.
2. Terminate every "non-union" employee hired between January 1993 and January 2001.
3. Check out EVERYONE else.

How's that?
