Where Are Rosenstein's Scope Memos to Robert Mueller?

The 2nd DOJ scope memo of August 2nd, 2017? Nor the 3rd DOJ scope memo of October 20th, 2017?

The released Weissmann/Mueller report showed there were two additional scope memos authorizing specific targeting of the Mueller probe.

The second scope memo was issued by Rod Rosenstein to Robert Mueller on October 20th, 2017.

With Paul Manafort outlined as an investigative target in the original authorization and the first scope memo, the second scope memo authorizes expansion to his business partner Richard Gates and their joint businesses.

The first redaction listed under "Personal privacy" is unconfirmed; however, the second related redaction is a specific person, Michael Flynn Jr. In combination with the October timing, the addition of Flynn Jr to the target list relates to the ongoing 2016/2017 investigation of his father, General Michael Flynn, for: possible conspiracy with a foreign government; unregistered lobbying; materially false statements and omissions on 2017 FARA documents; and lying to the FBI. This October 20th, 2017, request from Weissmann and Mueller aligns with the time-frame were special counsel team lawyers Brandon L. Van Grack and Zainab N. Ahmad were prosecuting Michael Flynn and attempting to force him into a guilty plea.

The October 20th, 2017, expanded scope memo authorized Mueller to start demanding records, phones, electronic devices and other evidence from Mike Flynn Jr, and provided the leverage Weissmann wanted.

The IG Report on Comey's memos clearly shows former DAG Rod Rosenstein working with the corrupt FBI and DOJ small group toward an objective of appointing their special counsel selection, Robert Mueller.
