I'm saying we don't know whether he ALSO, under a different assignment, assisted with a counter-intelligence investigation.

But we do know he's doing something for the DOJ still. And one thing that's still going on is that "mystery" investigation involving some foreign company, which was secretly acted on b the Supreme Court. My bet's on that.

And if that's part of a counter-intelligence investigation, it may never get unsealed -- or we might have to wait for decades.

His Report makes clear the FBI is/was handling the counterintelligence aspect, not Mueller. SunSeeker May 2019 #24

Again, this doesn't preclude the possibility that Mueller was involved in both areas. pnwmom May 2019 #32

His Report says he wasn't involved in both areas, that's why the FBI was embedded. SunSeeker May 2019 #35
