Mueller grand jury subpoena strikes deep into the Trump campaign.

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.)

They are looking for all communication that one person sent or received to those people. They are not searching all of those people themselves

stonewall until the last possible moment. By then most communications will have "disappeared". Rule of law means nothing to these rat fuckers.

If Mueller has copies from another source, that's a felony. It could be he is trying to trap someone

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.

(Who got the subpoena?)

A name I don't see on that list is Jared Kushner? or Don Jr.?

Got me curious.............

So that likely knocks out Pence and Christie.

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.
