Mueller Issued Subpoena To Trump Campaign
Remember Robert Mueller?
He's that guy who has already indicted Paul Manafort. And Rick Gates. And who will almost surely indict Michael Flynn in relatively short order. And who will probably indict Michael Flynn's son and use him to gain leverage over his father. And who has a cooperating witness in George Papadopoulos whose e-mail chains appear to implicate Carter Page and Sam Clovis. And who will probably end up indicting Jared Kushner before it's all said and done.
Yeah, that Robert Muell
yippee ki yay mofo! 🙂
“So why subpoena them?”
Because in a criminal investigation NOT ultimately serving a subpeona on these type of witnesses would, without a doubt and without question, be prosecutorial malpratice. These prosecutors knew when they drawing up the voluntary requests that they would be issuing subpoenas for the same material as well additonal material. Often, sending voluntary requests have several purposes to include directing the witnsesses to preserve all documents, to prompt the witnesses to begin the process of searching for documents, to cause the witnesses to send emails or texts about the documents and to see which witnesseses fail to produce particular documents they ar eknown to possess. Then the grand jury subpoenas are issued for a new set of prosecutorial puposes which are apparent and sometimes not so apparent. If prosecutors know that a witness already produced documents that were altered, fabricated or he/she failed to include a document as part of a series of documents now is a good time to commsnd that the witness produce the same documents. However, prosecutors would not highlight only the witness or witness(es) who have done that, so they subpoena them all. In this case causing a subpoena to issue for all is the prudent path given what we have seen.
