"There is simply no factual basis for this investigation. It violates both DoJ and FBI standards that require a factual predicate. It is a fishing expedition where it has been clearly established – by two prior independent counsel investigations and a congressional investigation led by the current Secretary of State – there are no fish," he said. Bromwich added: "The government has refused to provide the basis for venue in Florida, nor has it been willing to describe the statutory violations it is pursuing.

Justice Department releases document outlining Mueller’s mandate to investigate Russia – Raw Story
On Wednesday, Politico reported that the Department of Justice is releasing the memo that laid out the precise nature of how former special counsel Robert Mueller was tasked with investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia — which has long been sought by President Donald Trump’s allies.
“The memo, ‘The Scope of Investigation and Definition of Authority,’ was sent on Aug. 2, 2017, to Mueller by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general at the time,” reported Daniel Lippman and Kyle Cheney. “The unredacted bullet points include four names, beginning with former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page. It tasks Mueller with determining whether Page committed a crime by ‘colluding with Russian government officials’ as they interfered in the 2016 election.”
