![Experts Debunk, Mock Trump Lawyers Claims Mueller Obtained Transition Emails Unlawfully GSA: Trump Transition Team Informed Communications Could Be Handed Over To Law Enforcement Specifically, Loewentritt said, "in using our devices," transition team members were informed that materials "would not be held back in any law enforcement" actions. (Buzzfeed) Renato Mariotti, Former Prosecutor: Not inappropriate or Unusual "Of course Mueller obtained emails from a third party," wrote former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. "Prosecutors in most white collar criminal investigations do that. It's not 'inappropriate' or even unusual. Anyone who claims otherwise has no idea what they're talking about." (Business Insider Jeffrey Cramer, white collar former federal prosecutor: "Not a problem” This is not a problem," he said, referring to the way Mueller's team got a hold of the emails. "The server owner, in this case GSA, properly has the emails and can turn them over if there was a subpoena or court order," in the same way that internet providers and banks can provide emails and records about clients to law enforcement. More than that, Cramer added, the special counsel's team may not even have needed a subpoena to obtain the emails. An administrative request- a legally authorized and judicially enforceable demand for records issued by a government authoritymay have sufficed, he said. (BusinessS Insider Norm Eisen, Former White House Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform: "Executive privilege does not apply” "Executive privilege does not apply until you are the executive; these documents are from the transition, before Trump became the executive, QED no executive privilege. Grasping at straws here. (Twitter) William Jeffress, white collar defense attorney: No evidence of privileged information ."I seriously doubt there is anything here to taint the [Mueller] investigation," said William Jeffress, a white-collar defense attorney who represented Vice President D--- Cheney's senior aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, during the Valerie Plame CIA leak investigation. Jeffress added the letter included no evidence to prove any privileged information had been obtained by Mueller's team and that even if it were, there are procedures for retrieving them. (Politico) The Hill: Swalwell mocks report that Mueller obtained Trump transition emails illegally ."Private documents' on a US Government, public email system? What are they afraid was found? Baloney. This is another attempt to discredit Mueller as his #TrumpRussia probe tightens"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/323/929/183.jpg "Trump allies don't law so good")
![How it happened: The sources say Mueller obtained the emails from the General Services Administration, the government agency that hosted the transition email system, which had addresses ending in "ptt.gov, for Presidential Transition Team. Axios has asked the Special Counsel's Office for comment and vwill update this story with the response. The transition sources said they were surprised about the emails because they have been in touch with Mueller's team and have cooperated. "They ask us to waive NDAs [nondisclosure agreements] and things like that," a second source said. "We have never said no' to anything."](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/323/926/2b8.jpg "But Their Emails!")
