Mueller Subpoenas Communications With Trump and Inner Circle

[Tactical Peek]

Source: Daily Beast / Axios


A grand jury subpoena reviewed by Axios that special counsel Robert Mueller sent to a witness indicates that many in President Trump’s known inner circle, and the president himself, are within the scope of the Russia investigation. The list subpoenas “all communications—meaning emails, texts, handwritten notes, etc.—that this witness sent and received” to Carter Page, Corey Lewandowski, Donald J. Trump, Hope Hicks, Keith Schiller, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Roger Stone, and Steve Bannon. The subpoena calls for all communications to be turned over from Nov. 1, 2015—five months after the president first announced his campaign—to the present. All of the people listed were either part of the Trump campaign or are former and current employees of the Trump White House. The subpoenas come as those within Trump’s inner circle have been suspected of being within Mueller’s sight lines, and as Manafort and Gates have already been indicted by the special counsel, with Gates recently pleading guilty.

[ffr]

5. Obstruct this!!

Wow. Your move, Trumpfart.

[notdarkyet]

6. It was nice of Mueller to let trump have his golfing weekend before plunging him back

Into the morass of the swamp he made. I think this is going to be a good week. I don’t think Mueller like waitching these traitors destroy. our democracy.

7. BIRTHER DONNY Will Be Tweeting At 4AM

Poor, poor BIRTHER DONNY those mean nasty Obama deep staters are coming for him. Just imagine if Obama had said, "Russia if your listening....."? But why do I get this feeling that we are going to have a "Wag The Dog" scenario with North Korea very soon?

[Wordilocks]

8. Good news. Lets keep calm and remember

IT’S THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN AGENDA.

31. sorry, auto-correct, I'll fix. nt

[Tactical Peek]

16. Here.

[denbot]

10. What, no Miller?

Steven Miller is the guy I want to see perp walked, far and away more than any other of Shitler’s minions.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

12. Can we assume Mueller already has said items...and knowledge of content

...so any effort by trumpf or his ilk to destroy, shred, delete will be seen as obstruction, right?

[not fooled]

13. Where's jared and the spawn?

I would have expected to see their names, too.

[SonofDonald]

14. Roger Stone is probably

Extruding large brick shaped objects right about now.

Makes me smile.

[John Fante]

26. Let see him give the white power "okay" sign now. Haha.

[calimary]

27. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him perp-walked, the mug shot, the fitting for a nice new orange suit.

Roger the Ratfucker deserves to be behind bars. For the rest of his miserable life. Payback on him is gonna be a world-class bitch.

[BSdetect]

35. They will have to stitch two orange suits together to fit drumph.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. Among other things, its an Obstruction trap.

Mueller knows that the WH destroyed documents, and Mueller has all of them right now. He wants to compare what he has with what the WH gives him. And he’ll no doubt find that the WH scrubbed it’s files. More counts of obstruction and other associated felonies are in the menu.

And this stuff is just the low hanging fruit.

[SergeStorms]

25. My thoughts exactly.

Whatever damning communications existed have already been "misplaced". I hope you're correct about Mueller already having many - if not all - of these communications already. I want Mueller to bury these bastards beneath a mountain of their own lies and obstruction.

17. who is "this witness?"

Last edited Mon Mar 5, 2018, 02:15 AM - Edit history (1)

who is "this witness" that is supposed to provide all of these records?

[sharedvalues]

19. Stone? Clovis? Scavino? Miller?

The PR flack to Jared who just left the WH?

[garybeck]

21. it has to be someone that is not on the list

Stone is on the list.

why could it not be one of the targets, Kushner, or Trump Jr.

[sharedvalues]

22. Right. But it has to be someone who benefits from leaking

Strike Stone.
Bannon would benefit from leaking this to the public. But he’s on the list.
Clovis has allegedly flipped, so maybe?
The PR flack guy for Jared just resigned with Hicks, so he may be cooperating in some way and wanting to throw the rest under the bus.

Maybe Rob Porter if he’s angry at the WH?

I don’t think Jared wants to leak this stuff. But maybe.

[garybeck]

23. why would it have to be someone who benefits from leaking?

why couldn't they give a subpeona to one of the targets?

then he has to comply, and if he doesn't he is held in contempt and if he hands over only some of them or if he changes them mueller will get him for altering evidence because he already has all the emails.

this could be the real deal

whoever it is, trump could tell everyone not to comply with the subpeona due to executive privilege. then it would go to a court.

[mr_lebowski]

28. Also, Mueller could be smart enough to PUT the person under subpoena ON the list, knowing everyone

... will do exactly what we are attempting to do here .


I believe he's smart enough, no question.

[sharedvalues]

34. It was nunberg

I think we now know who it was

[Still In Wisconsin]

18. WITCH HUNT!!!!

Buh-bye Donny Two Scoops

[iluvtennis]

20. Mueller grand jury issued subpoenas for docs to Trump, Bannon, Cohen, Gates, Hicks, etc...

Amy Siskind@Amy_Siskind

BREAKING: grandy jury in Mueller probe has issued subpoenas for docs going back to Nov. 1, 2015, 4½ months after Trump launched his campaign to Trump, Bannon, Cohen, Gates, Hicks, Lewandowski, Manafort, Page, Schiller and Stone!

Link to tweet

[mr_lebowski]

29. From info upthread doesn't sound like this is accurate ... he's requested ONE persons communications

With all the above named individuals. There's a YUUUUGE difference ...

Yet, still a big deal ...

And that's even without twisting facts and creating fake news, Amy.

[garybeck]

24. Prediction: Trump will tell everyone not to comply with subpoena due to executive privilege

then a court will have to decide if they have to comply or not.

[beachbum bob]

32. no presidential priviledge for any thing prior to being sworn in Jan 20,2017

and even then, privilege can't be used to hide crimes

[garybeck]

37. "privilege can't be used to hide crimes"

just because you're not supposed to do that, doesn't mean they won't. he clearly is not admitting to any crimes.

[Zoonart]

30. Does this include the supposed diaries....

Of Spicy and Hopie?

[elmac]

33. Didn't they destroy a bunch of docs, emails

in the opening days of the fascist takeover? Seems like it was quite the deal when it happened. Good luck SC Mueller, you are dealing with a lifelong criminal with lots of money, thugs, the church and the Russians behind him.

[BSdetect]

36. Agreed, we cannot underestimate their capacity for murder. Putin has been behind many such acts.
