.@LRCaldwell6 was highly respected during her time running DOJ’s Criminal Division. Her good judgment likely stemmed, in part, from her time working with Mueller.
The conundrum Mueller faces is that the rules at DOJ (ie not discussing individuals who aren’t charged) are for normal cases. Here, the ultimate subject/target of the investigation, the President, uniquely can’t be charged. & there are concerns about whether the AG is acting as..
the people’s lawyer or POTUS’s. While Mueller will want to play by the rules & preserve the institution, the institution & the country may be better served by a departure from long-standing DOJ practice. It’s a hard call for an institutionalist, but the country needs the truth.

1/ When I testified about the Mueller Report to @HouseJudiciary, the topic was evidence of obstruction of Justice. But no GOP members asked me about obstruction. They didn’t make any effort to challenge the conclusion there was significant evidence of criminal conduct by Trump.
2/ GOP members of @HouseJudiciary didn’t ask any questions challenging my conclusion that the Mueller Report contained sufficient evidence to obtain & sustain a conviction of Trump related to at least 3 areas of conduct. They completely avoided that topic. docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU…
3/ When Mueller testifies listen to whether & how they attempt to attack his conclusions. Will they ignore the evidence & just attack Page, Strzok, Comey, McCabe, the FBI & DOJ? Will they do more than just repeat the no collusion, no obstruction mantra that is patently false?

It appears that the SDNY investigation into campaign finance fraud, the individual no. 1 case is over. Judge Pauley denied the gov’s motion to redact materials & has ordered they be publicly listed tomorrow. No surprise a sitting president wasn’t indicted.
A president’s immunity from prosecution only lasts until he leaves office. I would expect prosecutors to vehemently protest the release of evidence they believed they’d need for a future case. So expect lots of speculation about what this means.
Full order here: usatoday.com/documents/6205…

Trump proposes violating longstanding norms for asylum seekers with new rules that would keep Central American migrants, including children, from having the opportunity to prove they deserve asylum. apnews.com/6bef9ed6c48b4c…
You’ll recall that under AG Sessions, women fleeing domestic violence were barred from receiving asylum. Now, despite a lack of clarity over what qualifies as a “safe” country & whether Mexico is one, migrants who pass through there on the way to the US won’t qualify.
This isn’t an effort to curb illegal immigration, it’s an effort to drastically restrict legal immigration.

Robert S. Mueller, III - Deep State Fix-It Man, Part IV
1. It is important to remember Mueller acts as the Deep State Fix-It man. His worth to the DS is his ability to act as a wall between the facilitators, their nefarious actions, and the wheels of justice.
2. If cover, time and obstruction is what is needed Mueller is the man to do it. His use of disinformation, manipulation of the media, false testimony to Congress, and hiding evidence is well-documented.
3. This is a role he will continue as Director of the FBI for both GWB and Obama administrations; obstructing investigations, making evidence disappear, misrepresenting facts to Congress, the Courts and the public to further the needs of the DS, ...

Mueller has overseen the take down of quite a few criminal enterprises. In this tweet thread I name a few. He oversaw the investigation of the Lockerbie bombing, the prosecution of Manuel Noriega, the take down of the Gambino family & more. Thread below. #Mueller #TrumpRussia
1) Mueller joined the U.S. Department of Justice in 1989 to spearhead the prosecution of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. #Mueller #TrumpRussia
2) Mueller took charge of the DOJ's criminal division in 1990, where he oversaw the Lockerbie bombing case & formed the agency's first cyber-dedicated unit. He is the one who created the first cyber crime investigative unit! #Mueller #TrumpRussia

Even though the Mueller team has 16 or 17 attorneys dedicated full-time, we should all recognize that there are actually many more #DOJ attorneys helping the investigation as part of their day-to-day jobs, particularly from DOJ’s DC Criminal Division. /1 washingtonpost.com/news/post-nati…
For example, in order to get wiretaps approved, the Criminal Division’s Office of Enforcement Operations would have to be involved. In order to manage the sharing of evidence and coordination on witnesses with international partners, Office of International Affairs attorneys /2
Would need to be working with the Special Counsel’s team. In addition to those two offices, attorneys in the Criminal Division who supervise those 2 offices (OEO & OIA) would have to be in the loop and doing some work on this. Plus, those guys (and yes they are guys) would /3
