(CNSNews.com) - On August 2, 2017, then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a memo to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, outlining the "scope" of Mueller's investigation.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department released to Sen. Lindsey Graham a declassified version of that memo, drawing gasps from Graham, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman:

"The legal foundation for Mueller's appointment is crumbling," Graham told Fox News's Sean Hannity Wednesday night.

Jim Jordan rips Mueller, Wray: Why didn't we learn about Flynn from them?

The Justice Department on Wednesday released a mostly unredacted version of then-Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's August 2017 "scope memo" outlining the authority of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller -- and the document reveals for the first time that Mueller's authority went significantly beyond what was known previously.

Rosenstein, who later left the Justice Department for a law firm, oversaw Mueller's probe and played a central role in its still-unfolding drama. He was the subject of a two-page memo written by then-Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that outlined how Rosenstein allegedly proposed wearing a wire in the White House "to collect additional evidence on the president’s true intentions," and thought the scheme was plausible because "he was not searched when he entered the White House." Rosenstein has denied those allegations and slammed the FBI.
