Rosenstein Secretly Authorized Mueller to Investigate Manafort - After FBI Illegally Raided Manafort's Home

On May 17, 2017, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote a brief memoappointing Robert Mueller as special counsel and authorizing him to investigate alleged Trump-Russia "links and/or coordination" -- and "any matters that...may arise directly from the investigation."

It was a vague memo, giving Mueller's investigation wide latitude.

But three months later, on August 2, Rosenstein wrote a second, classified memo that has just been released in a batch of court filings by the special counsel’s team.

In that August 2 memo, Rosenstein says his May 17 order “was worded categorically in order to permit its public release without confirming specific investigations involving specific individuals.”

Rosenstein said his August 2 memorandum “provides a more specific description of your (Mueller’s) authority. The following allegations were within the scope of the Investigation at the time of your appointment and are within the scope of the Order.”

So Manafort was already under investigation for his Ukraine connections and financial dealings when Rosenstein issued his specific authorization to Mueller on Aug. 2.

In a court filing last week, Manafort's attorneys moved to dismiss Mueller's superseding indictment against Manafort, arguing that the special counsel has gone way beyond the authorization contained in...
