Republican lawmakers should be asking about Rosenstein aide DAAG Tashina Gauhar.

Did Rosenstein order Tashina to write a 5/16/17 memo about a 5/8/17 meeting on the firing of Comey?

Mueller appointed on 5/17/17 - the day after Tashina's "obstruction memo"

5/16/17 was the same day that Tashina was passing Rod Rosenstein's talking points to Peter Strzok.

5/16/17 - the same day Tashina finished her pro-Rosenstein "notes" on various earlier meetings re: Comey..

She was calling Lisa Page at 11:36 PM discussing reviewing documents.

By now they all knew Mueller would be appointed the next day.

Interesting wording: Tashina "recorded all these notes during one or more meetings on May 16, 2017"

"One or more meetings" the day before Mueller was appointed.

Meetings to get their story straight. Tashina transcribed the official version.

On those Lisa Page/Tashina talking points discussed on 5/16/17:

The Mueller report references a "Page Memorandum" that recorded the "events of 5/16/17."

The "events of 5/16/17" are likely the DOJ meetings the day before the Mueller appointment. Talking points.

Another curiosity: the Mueller Report makes no mention of a Tashina 302 (interview) - yet Special Counsel records indicate they asked her about the origination of the 5/16/17 notes.

"Guahar determined that she likely recorded all these notes . . . on May 16, 2017"

Tashina Gauhar history:

Tashina was at the NSD directly under John Carlin - who resigned after failing to notify the FISC of abuse.

At NSD, Tashina classified this letter to a FISC judge detailing "overcollection", "compliance incidents", and unauthorize access to "Section 702-acquired information."

Tashina was transferred from NSD, had a very close working relationship w/ Deputy AG Sally Yates (before transferred to Rosenstein).

"All aspects of the NSD went through Tashina."

Based on the testimony of DAAG Toscas at NSD --

For the Trump/Russia/Flynn investigation, Tashina would have been the Office of Deputy AG (Yates) go-between for NSD and DOJ/FBI leadership.

NSD >>> Tashina >>> Yates/etc

More on those 5/16/17 meetings...

That's the date Rosenstein allegedly suggested recording Trump and using the 25th Amendment against Trump.

Tashina may be a witness. Get her under oath.

Confirmation from the new McCabe memo.

Tashina was at the meeting where Rosenstein allegedly offered to wear a wire.
