In reply to the discussion: Mueller Subpoenas Communications With Trump and Inner Circle [View all]garybeck
(9,942 posts)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.
