But I don't see how this could be considered out of bounds to at least look at.

For all we know, those bank records could have included payments to Gucifer himself. We do know that they include financial ties to some of the very same people who could be involved in the conspiracy. So there seems to be firm standing to at least look at them.

Having looked, would it then be the responsibility of the Special Prosecutor to ignore other financial crimes that came to light? Even if they weren't directly linked?

If the judge honestly reviews Rosenstein's memo about scope, he won't dismiss Manafort's indictment emulatorloo May 2018 #3

"honestly reviews" that's the caveat with this Reagan appointee. arthritisR_US May 2018 #6
