"...It asked for Congress to act immediately "to protect future presidential transitions from having their private records misappropriated by government agencies, particularly in the context of sensitive investigations intersecting with political motives."
The letter said Mueller's office obtained the emails despite the fact that it was aware the GSA did not own or control the records. It said the special counsel's office has "extensively used the materials in question, including portions that are susceptible to claims of privilege" without notifying the Trump for America team...."
Heard Judge Nap say that the GSA getting the information wasn't actually illegal. The Trump transition team basically agreed to use GSA computers, which by some 1987 law (I think he said 1987), means that federal system could get that information from the GSA, and not have to get it directly from the transition team.
Does it prove anything? Nope, other than the information was not gained illegally, by a law already passed and on the books.
He said it may look fishy, but it was completely legal.
Me thinks Mueller has mastered the game of 4d chess. These Trump University lawyers are playing uno.
