Trump World doesn't respond well to Mueller obtaining emails
As the investigation into the Russia scandal has unfolded  there have been more than a few questions about  Donald Trump’s  legal team and some of the idiosyncratic arguments pushed by the president’s attorneys.
Indeed  it was just two weeks ago when one of  Trump’s  top lawyers argued – twice – that it’s impossible for a sitting president to obstruct justice. The contention was soon after rejected by  among others  one of  Trump ’s other lawyers.
 A top lawyer for President Donald Trump’s transition team  has accused a government agency of unlawfully turning over thousands of emails to special counsel Robert Mueller as part of  his  investigation into Russia’s election meddling and potential collusion with the  Trump  campaign. Kory Langhofer  general counsel to the transition team known as Trump for America (TFA)  wrote a letter to the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Saturday detailing claims that Mueller’s team had improperly received emails sent and received by  Trump  officials before the start of  his  administration.
As a rule  Mueller and  his  investigators say very little in response to assorted criticisms  but in this case  Peter Carr  a spokesperson for the special counsel’s office  told NBC News in a statement  “When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation  we have secured either the account owner’s consent or appropriate criminal process.”
