HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030262

This document primarily discusses the political dynamics surrounding the Mueller investigation and the potential for presidential interference, rather than directly addressing the Epstein case.

🔑 Key Evidence:
  • The Special Counsel seems less worried about its legal position than it does about its existential one—continuing to anticipate how the President might use his authority to move against it.
  • It sees its most immediate threat as a move by the President to replace Rosenstein.
  • Both of these actions could, the Special Counsel believes, become part of the behavior that it argues in the indictment amounts to a prima facie case for obstruction of justice.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_030403

This document primarily discusses the potential legal challenges faced by President Trump in relation to the Mueller investigation, rather than directly addressing the Epstein case. However, it highlights the political dynamics and potential misconduct within the government that could indirectly relate to the broader context of Epstein's connections and the influence of powerful individuals.

🔑 Key Evidence:
  • The case, according to my conversations, is fundamentally Trump versus the FBI, Justice Department, and Mueller investigation itself.
  • The indictment is said to charge that the firing of Andrew McCabe...was an instance of illegal retaliation tampering or conspiracy by the President against a potential witness.
  • Almost nothing about the case involves new information...this indictment could have been drafted without anyone being interviewed.
