It isn’t deflection. People should readily be able to understand the difference in a lawyer praticing fiduciary responsibility to their client and a judge applying non partisan critical thinking in the application of the law. That’s what was done in the nomination of RBG. And that’s the record K has demonstrated in his bench rulings in the DC circuit. Nobody is seriously attacking his bench performance. They are attacking his character.I think you are in the wrong thread with that deflection.
Federal law enforcement officials have referred a two-year-old email hacking investigation to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to the Republican operative who was the target of the hack.
The referral adds yet another dimension to the special counsel’s sprawling probe, even as some of President Donald Trump’s allies portray Mueller’s work as nearing its conclusion.
The operative and Trump critic, Cheri Jacobus, told POLITICO that FBI agents in the bureau’s cyber division informed her earlier this month that they had forwarded their investigation to Mueller because the matter came to exceed the bounds of computer intrusion, the crime that had been the initial focus of the investigation. It is not clear what led the FBI to conclude that Mueller has jurisdiction over the matter.
GOP operative who sued Trump says FBI referred hacking of her email to Mueller
And what does that have to do with Federal investigators referred this to Mueller's team? Did you miss the point of my post?She sued for defamation because Trump called her a "dummy" on Twitter?
"At the same time, Jacobus was embroiled in an apparently separate legal fight with the Trump camp. During the 2016 primaries, Jacobus was a regular Fox News and CNN commentator, and she both praised and criticized Trump. One particularly critical segment drew the ire of Trump, who pronounced her a “dummy” on Twitter, as well as Lewandowski, who, like Trump, portrayed her as a disgruntled job-seeker.
Jacobus sued them for defamation in New York. "
Politically motivated for sure. There are just too many absurde lawsuits in America. Most get tossed but there are some that get through depending on the judge. I agree though.Just pointing out the absurdity of suing because someone called you a dummy on Twitter.

There is now a concrete storyline backed by irrefutable evidence: The FBI allowed itself to take political opposition research created by one party to defeat another in an election, treated it like actionable intelligence, presented it to the court as substantiated, and then used it to justify spying on an adviser for the campaign of that party's duly chosen nominee for president in the final days of a presidential election.
