That's not true though, why are you not just referencing the actual legal document?
any links and/or coordination between 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).
(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.
You say it's only (i), when there is obviously, factually, legally, more to his order.
Also note what 28 C.F.R. 600.4 refers to, jurisdiction, as follows:
Wait a minute. Ken Starr investingating Whitewater and then Lewinski (!), took around 4 years and half of that was so improper, even Ken Starr later agreed...
Benghazi redux, redux, redux - 4 years, with much of it an obvious partisan attack on Hillary that just repeated itself over and over and over for no apparent reason other than political partisanship.
In contrast, this is an investigation into a foreign adversary's attack on the united states, along with possible co-conspirators in the United States, where a crap ton of evidence casually linked the Trump administration to it. So based on that, you got 4 years total before you can lift a finger.
Just so you know, the wikileaks email leak, and the magnification of the Russian fake-news propaganda that people unwittingly re-tweeted, copied, referenced, etc., affected the election more than if a handful of votes were changed directly. Wikileaks was a bomb dropped right after access hollywood broke that not only spurred no Trump voters, but far more damaging it turned off Hillary voters, and REALLY pissed of Sanders voters, many likely deciding they would rather do nothing than support HRC given her underhanded tactics in gimping Sanders.[/QUOTE]
First off if I might.. the first thing I posted that this was my "OPINION"
That being said.... OK so you kinda offered more to my initial point that,
1) Usually there is a crime, that was committed, to initiate something right? What Crime was committed that initiated the investigation of Trump? What I mean is, Russian actors to disrupt our 2016 Elections? This was known by 17 agencies. So what crime or possible crime or Actual crime committed by a potential American Citizen related to Trump?
2) So the Special council was in fact created to investigate Trump without just cause just assumption?
I get the jurisdiction now... But it does seem like they are digging so deep just to find anything again OPINION.
"wait a minute"? White water was there NOT an initial crime committed by someone to question the involvement? WHAT crime was committed happened to initiate an investigation?
Benghazi, 4 AMERICANS DIED, 1 an ambassador? NO one was held accountable? While a direct crime was not committed Americans LOST their lives due to seemingly dereliction of duty upon request for higher security, Byt the HIGHEST ranking person in Benghazi? And then UH OH, an actual LAW was BROKEN, Private email server.
SO ..... Again..... What Crime..... happened did someone die? Did we find Russians and polling booths, Did we have trump paying someone money to change votes? Was there actual VOTE manipulation other than Dumb@$$ people being swayed by Social Media rather than doing their own homework.
AGAIN.... Its fine to investigate, but usually something indicates a crime was committed. HRC losing and Trump winning is NOT an indication of a crime......For the 10th milion NON sarcastic non disrespectful time.
I am scared that one day, I gain the courage to run for office in my state.... and someone brings up a claim that I colluded with a lobbying group, thus a special council is enacted and spends money to investigate a hunch with NOTHING else other then saying I colluded with someone. With NO other evidence.
Finally Wiki leaks and re-tweets YET again, if you take Twitter, Social Media/Facebook as your knowledge and educational point to VOTE for someone, thats on you and NO ONE else to blame, as a citizen and my responsibility is to research the candidates and vote based on the facts that they are able to meet my political beliefs.....Trump again is a scumbag, but meets my belief. HRC is a bigger scumbag and does not meet any of my political beliefs.
