6 minutes before Zeus (of course it was Zeus, lol) did exactly that.
Actual posts take longer than Mead's shitposts and none of that is goalpost moving. This is supposed to be an investigation into Russian meddling and instead it's focusing on hush money paid by an American lawyer to an American citizen. If anything is goalpost moving, it's claiming that this falls under a Russia investigation. It's straight-up fishing.
False. It falls under it because his scope, as defined by the attorney general, says Mueller had full rights to pursue anything that arose due to his investigation.
ORDER NO. 3915-2017
b) The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirned by then-FBI Director James 8. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including: (i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and (ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and (iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. 600.4(a).
So this is what he was hired to do and he hasn't strayed from it at all. Or should he just uncover illegal activities and then ignore them?
Hence "fishing expedition." After a certain point, it's pretty clear that the purview isn't to investigate Russian meddling but just to dig up dirt -- any dirt at all -- on Trump and/or his associates. ---
