Mueller is subpoenaing all communications meaning emails, texts, handwritten notes, etc. that this witness sent and received regarding the following people:
-Carter Page
-Corey Lewandowski
-Donald J. Trump
-Hope Hicks
-Keith Schiller
-Michael Cohen
-Paul Manafort
-Rick Gates
Roger Stone
Steve Bannon
The subpoena asks for all communications from November 1, 2015, to the present. Notably, Trump announced his campaign for president five months earlier on June 16, 2015.
.
Bottom line: In December, the president's lawyer Ty Cobb told me the White House would be free of the Mueller investigation "shortly after the first of the year absent some unforeseen delay." We know very little about what's keeping the investigators so busy, but the breadth of this subpoena means Mueller's team could easily stumble into goodies about Trump's inner circle given so many people are coughing up material. (Cobb didn't respond to a request for comment.)

(81,856 posts)They are looking for all communication that one person sent or received to those people. They are not searching all of those people themselves
The grand jury wants all records of communications a witness made to that list of people.

These are the people who actually conspired with the Russians. The Trump Tower meeting was either just a feeler or something to throw off U.S. intelligence. Putin would never have let Natalia Veselnitskaya back in the United States to testify to congressional committees and risk having her arrrested, if anything real had happened in that meeting.

Kushner leaks a lot, but I think they've gotten a hold of him already. Could be Bannon and he put himself on the list to cover up.
