Special counsel Robert Mueller adds Russian-speaking attorney to Trump probe

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/special-counsel-robert-mueller-adds-russian-speaking-attorney-to-trump-probe/

Elizabeth Prelogar, an assistant to the solicitor general, is assisting deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben in his part-time role on the special counsel’s team probing the Trump campaign, reported The National Law Journal.

Dreeben is considered the Justice Department’s top criminal law expert, according to the publication, and his participation is seen as a sign that Mueller is investigating possible criminal violations by President Donald Trump or his associates.

Prelogar served as a law clerk to Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan, and she appears to speak fluent Russian, which she studied at Emory College.

She graduated from Harvard Law School in 2006 and was previously a Fulbright scholar in Russia, and she also won an Overseas Press Club scholarship to study Russian media and censorship.

15. Well, she is

OVERQUALIFIED for a job in the tRump organization. tRump has no time for intelligent women, he likes bimbos.

4. Holy shit!

He ain't playing is he? Too bad Twitler is too stupid to be scared.

5. Very smart move. During the investigation, they're likely to be

dealing with some stuff in Russian. They need someone who can do translations and analysis on the spot and in real time. That this person is also an expert attorney is icing on the cake.

She sounds like a smart person who will be an asset to the investigation.

23. Great thing about this, it looks like he's going into Russian corruption issues

I can now speculate, the usage of foreign corruption act

you would need Russian speakers to wade through to prove foreign corruption

Maybe even, Russian investments in Donald Trump/Paul Manafort/an whole gang, not just collusion anymore.

31. I just think the better Mueller gets, the more likely DT will fire him, but I'm glad Mueller is so

Competent. I wonder how many people DT will go through to find a suck up to fire him. He may decide to break protocol and tweet it. Given what's going on in the Senate now, who knows what they would do.
For sure, Nunes, who has reinserted his lying traitorous self, ot Trey Gowdy, won't rehire Mueller. They are spun all in the web.

6. I wondered when they would get around to considering language.

Better stop and keep an eye on it.

33. I suspect that the administration has adopted stringent anti-surveillance measures.

All meetings conducted in Pig Latin. That kind of thing.
