Dean Vernon Wormer once imposed Double Secret Probation on the Animal House in that classic movie by the same name. Now the Justice Department's Mueller team is claiming the same sort of gobbledygook applies to the "scope memo" that defines the original limits of the Trump-Russia collusion special investigation. Fortunately Judge T.S. Ellis wants to see for himself if Mueller has exceeded his authority in his prosecution of Manafort for bank fraud and money laundering.
The DOJ is claiming to Judge Ellis and to Congress that this scope memo is secret because it contains national security issues ... maybe "double national security issues," but I doubt if the American people are going to tolerate such an unfettered mandate in what every day becomes clearer what it really is -- an effort to "take down a duly-elected president" to paraphrase Judge Ellis.
As Allan Dershowitz and many others repeatedly complain ... this is criminalizes politics and thus undermines the very foundations of our Republic. It is Mueller and his posse of Clinton contributors that needs to be investigated.
