Complains Investigation Should Not Have
Their e-mails
The people investigating how Trumpie
and friends colluded with the Russians have obtained the e-mails from
people who worked on the transition team. The team is crying foul.
It seems they claim the Special Counsel should
not have them, which of course implies that they have much to
hide.
An
organization that was part of President Trump’s transition team
claimed Saturday that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III
improperly obtained a trove of transition emails as part of the
inquiry into Russian influence in the 2016 election and other
matters.
The
batch of emails totaling thousands of pages of communications was
improperly provided to Mueller by the federal General Services
Administration, the organization claimed in a letter delivered to
congressional investigators.
Now innocent people would be happy to
give a prosecutor everything. That way they would be exonerated. A
guilty party, well they would be acting just like Trump and his
cronies. Like this.
Transition
documents are private property, not government records, the
organization contends. The letter invokes federal law and decades of
precedent to argue that Mueller overstepped.
The
transfer of transition documents is “unlawful conduct that
undermines the Presidential Transition Act of 1963,” the letter
said, “and will impair the ability of future presidential
transition teams to candidly discuss policy and internal matters that
benefit the country as a whole.”
What are they hiding? And how can
there be tens of thousands of e-mails? Were these people doing
nothing but writing e-mails?
