This is entirely speculation, but it seems logical that our official secrets act would have some dispensation to enable trangressions to be investigated, whether that dispensation involves ensuring the investigator(s) are rated to allow access to the correct levels of classified information. There are also provisions within our law that allow crimes involving classified data to be prosecuted and tried. Of course, they do require that any staff involved in trying the crime are cleared for the correct classification.
I would have thought that the Americans would also have a similar setup. Not necessarily the same laws, but they would have a way that crimes involving classified data can be investigated, prosecuted and tried. I would be suprised if Mueller has not ensured his team are already cleared to the correct level.

It's certainly not going to go down well with anyone in the US needing a washing machine in the near future... Go Donald, hit the electorate in the pocket and spark off some revenge tariffs for US exports !
Wonder if Trump/ and or friends/family have shares in Whirlpool ? Up 2.5%.... |
Well, the tariff on Solar Panels is in keeping with Trump's apparent agenda. He does seem unusually lenient on Fossil fuels..
