white house no? to the president know about this investigation himself? what we do know now is based on information that came out last week, is that very senior mobile levers and the fbi, cia, and in the white house, were well aware of this investigation early on and may have coordinated. sean: gregg? i think the big news really comes out of the court documents. thanks to manafort s attorneys, we know that rosenstein admits that he wrote intentionally a vague order in his appointment of mueller trying to mislead the american public. sean: intentionally vague to mislead. right. to mislead and disguise what it is they were doing. he didn t realize or anticipate that manafort s lawyer would say, wait a minute, this violates the special counsel law. they go to a judge and make a motion to dismiss. so now we find out that in addition to writing this vague memo, they secretly
directed towards a person is pretty scary. when i was a federal prosecutor, i had 150 cases, and i m not just saying this because i m an admirer of colonel north. i never would ve prosecuted him in 100 years, but you put somebody in that position with that one case, i ll tell you, it s a scary thing. but isn t the an issue? look, i m surrounded by very bright people here. it strikes me that, up to this point, what s happened with mueller is that he s got a bunch of cases that had nothing to do with the original issue of was the trump administration colluding with the russians before the election to affect the outcome? and thus far, i think the american people look at it and say, there s nothing there. well, this is the risk of a special counsel law, that every nail needs a hammer, and they start to look everything, everywhere, and they stray from their original mission.

ah, the special counsel is not an unguided missile. i don t believe there is any justification at this point for terminating the special counsel. why? because now they can set perjury traps? now that there is no russia-trump collusion? let s move to the finances of oh, jared kushner. like where was that in the original mandate or investigation? investigative creep is the biggest problem with the special counsels. it was. and rosenstein wrote it in his appointment assignment to robert mueller. he also violated the special counsel law when he selected robert mueller. you have to, if you read the law carefully you have to have evidence of a crime. there was never any evidence of a crime. yet, he appointed a special counsel to investigate in search of a crime. that is backwards. sean: because of his buddy, james comey, who you think is the most foolish man on earth to be going on a book
by meeting with mueller, you are anyway legitimizing his investigation, which is illegitimate. the special counsel law, there has to be stated crime. look at the order signed by rod rosenstein to mueller. there is no stated crime. it s an illegal investigation but the president may have no choice. sean: let s get your take on this, jason chaffetz. i wouldn t in a million yeari would fight that after the supreme court on the grounds that number one, mueller s team is corrupt, that it was founded remember, hillary rick the primary. hillary paid for the phony dossier. hillary got a passenger committed felonies by people that even more involved in the investigation. especially peter strzok and peter strzok and comey and he set it up using information he never should have revealed. the phony dossier was a predicate to get this fisa warrant against the president. i don t think i believe,
