"All one has to do is read the letter appointing Mueller to see that his brief is to investigate matters that arose or may arise DIRECTLY out of the March 17, 2017 testimony Comey gave to the House."

Nope... it was to conduct the investigation that Comey confirmed was taking already taking place. Nice try, tho.

Under the Deputy Attorney General’s Order, Special Counsel Mueller is:

authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including

(i) any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and

(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and

(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. Section 600.4(a).

Right, and the old Manafort prosecution was not pursued because of prosecutorial discretion, not by one US Attny, but by all those who occupied the Eastern District of VA since 2006. All Mueller did was dredge it up for leverage, as the judge stated.
