Summary
This document, from a source labeled 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT', presents a legal argument that the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller was fundamentally tainted and a violation of due process. The author contends that the preceding FBI 'Crossfire' investigation was politically motivated, and this bias rendered all subsequent activities, including Mueller's appointment and findings, as 'fruit of a poisonous tree'. The text does not contain any information related to Jeffrey Epstein or his associates; its entire focus is on the Mueller investigation and related legal precedents.
