Conservative Treehouse: Byron York has put down the crustless triangle sandwich and white wine spritzer long enough to finally discover the October 20th, 2017, scope memo written by Rod Rosenstein that authorized Weissman and Mueller to target Michael Flynn Jr.
[…] The Justice Department has recently allowed members of some congressional committees to view the scope memos, and out of that has come the news that there was a third scope memo to Mueller.

The transparent intent of the third scope memo was to provide Weissmann and Mueller with ammunition and authority to investigate specific targets, for specific purposes. One of those targets was General Michael Flynn’s son, Michael Flynn Jr. keep reading
Al Capone was a minor crook compared to these so called LEOs.
I hope Barr isn’t going to let Rosenstein slide on this. It’s proof he was deeply involved in the conspiracy all along as suspected.
The inertia from the DoJ is getting worrying.
