Not exactly "fruit of the poisonous tree" because that refers to evidence seized in an illegal search and evidence derived therefrom.titan said:
aggiehawg,
Would this seal the "fruit of poisoned tree" and give cause to shutdown the `investigation'?
Haven't seen yet. Maybe someone else has?Rockdoc said:
Been out all day. I take it Rosenstein didn't deliver any documents?

Laura Ingram on Fox is going to update status on key DOJ documents. Should be discussing this in a moment.
If this bears fruit and there turns out to be doctored 302's Mueller will be immediately shut down, because regardless of who did the doctoring, Mueller used them to indict people and force guilty pleas. Regardless if it was Andrew Weissmann and he kept it from Mueller, wouldn't be the first time Weissmann has done it, Mueller may end up lucky to be able to practice law, with all the other shady work they have drug into federal courts lately.drcrinum said:

I can't even believe this is still the process in 2018Quote:
This archaic 302's non-sense is just a breeding ground for mischief.
Probably not. But it's absolutely mind boggling that the DOJ/FBI are STILL stonewalling OIG on releasing documents. Unbelievable.titan said:Hopefully Rosenstein -- because wouldn't that be full cause to fire him?benchmark said:Withheld from OIG until last month? Who made that call?Prosperdick said:
Agree. Congressional oversight committees are basically paper tigers with TV cameras as their only weapon. Trump could easily force the issue but hasn't. POTUS obstruction argument doesn't hold water either ...Trump could easily pick a single low-risk DOJ doc-release battle worth fighting for. Trump's failure to intercede doesn't pass the smell test.Quote:
It is reasonable to ask whether President Trump is more interested in the political advantage of posing as a victim of Justice Department/FBI abuse than in exercising his legal authority to expose and address any abuse. And if the Republican Congress continues to portray the controversy as a battle only against truculent executive officials as if these officials do not have a boss it is fair to ask whether this dispute is about accountability or theater.
