Something I was unaware of, Mueller had to get a waiver to be SC
From what the good representative from Georgia posted....
I'm confused. I don't see how either of the pics relate to each other or to the tweeted message.
Please hawgsplain it for me 
From what I can find so far some are saying the waiver is believed to relate to Mueller's work in recent years as a partner at the WilmerHale law firm, which also represented Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner.
However, the document posted above, signed by DOJ's top career official, Associate Deputy Attorney General Scott Schools, provides no detail, zero, zilch, nada at all of the grounds for the waiver. In fact, it's so vague that it doesn't even convey why anyone would think Mueller needed such a release. It's very very shady, but then may I'm just suspicious.
Here's the real strange thing about this. If you search out waivers in the past DOJ appears to have been more forthcoming with explanations of waivers granted to other officials. In May, Justice released a batch of ethics waivers granted to Noel Francisco in travel ban litigation despite his former law firm Jones Day's entry into that legal fight. The memos were released in response to a lawsuit filed by the liberal watchdog group American Oversight.

Quote:
"The memo is protected by the deliberative process privilege (Exemption 5 of the Freedom of Information Act). This is in contrast to the communications related to the Francisco waiver, in which the deliberative discussions were expressly adopted by the decision maker,"
Now here's what doesn't hold water when it comes to the speculation on Mueller's partnership with WilmerHale. At the time the waiver was signed, the DOJ had not "publicly" confirmed any investigative interest in Manafort or Kushner. Manafort was indicted in October on charges, including money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent for Ukraine. Kushner was reportedly questioned by Mueller's team last month but has not been charged. And WilmerHale officials have said that when Mueller worked at the firm he had no role in representing Manafort or Kushner. Okay so why did he need a damn waiver then.
WELLLLLLLLL maybe the dimwits at CNN reported on what may be the reason and didn't even realize it.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/14/politics/mueller-flynn-legal-work-ironbridge/index.htmlFor those that don't want to give CNN the clicks here's a summary. CNN reported in September that while at WilmerHale, Mueller worked very briefly for a company involved in a nuclear energy project championed by Michael Flynn, the retired Defense Intelligence Agency chief who would go on to serve for less than a month as Trump's national security adviser. It's unclear whether the one-sentence waiver finding from Schools covers what was reported to be less than half an hour's work Mueller billed to the firm, IronBridge.
Don't know what to think. George Webb and Thomas Paine have both stated in their podcasts that Mueller is dirty in Uranium One more than is being told. Right now it's been a focus that Mueller was the FBI Chief and that it all went down under his watch, that they were actively investigating the contractor of U1 and failed to let anyone know while they were making the deal. But There may be way more to it than just that. Mueller has some financial skeletons that may come back to haunt him if they can ever be ferreted out.
All very speculative I know much with all the craziness going on everything is suspicious to me.
