by FBI agents embedded with the investigation. This was not a “fix,” but rather a matter of that material being best handled within an intelligence agency, not under a special prosecutor.
Now the question is what happened to it and why is not the House getting intelligence briefings?

Would have to agree. Am not, and never was, a Mueller fan boy. But I think there were conditions and constraints that were "built in" to the special prosecutor's role. And Mueller shouldn't be criticized for working within parameters that were given him. Now the DOJ .. I think we need to take a hard look at where they have been during this whole fiasco. A man like Trump in the oval office presents a completely new set of problems.

But I guess that may be subsumed under counter intel.
