Mueller Issues Grand Jury Subpoenas to Trump Adviser's Social Media Consultant

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued two subpoenas to a social media expert who worked for longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone during the 2016 presidential election campaign.

The subpoenas were delivered late last week to lawyers representing Jason Sullivan, a social media and Twitter specialist Stone hired to work for an independent political action committee he set up to support Trump, Knut Johnson, a lawyer for Sullivan, told Reuters on Tuesday.

The subpoenas suggest that Mueller, who is probing Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, is focusing in part on Stone and whether he might have had advance knowledge of material allegedly hacked by Russian intelligence and sent to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who published it.

Stone appeared before the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee last September and denied allegations of collusion between the president's associates and Russia during the election. "I am aware of no evidence whatsoever of collusion by the Russian state or anyone in the Trump campaign," Stone told reporters at the time.

According to sources familiar with the ongoing investigation, Mueller also has been probing whether anyone associated with the Trump campaign may have helped Assange or the Russians time or target the release of hacked emails and other social media promoting Trump or critical of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Chances are Mueller stumbled over the killers of Seth Rich and decided it was immaterial to his investigation

I’ve been thinking the same soon after this all started and we saw within a few months nothing really happened. I also think it’s to cover up the Dem crimes.

At this point, the Mueller inquisition is doing nothing other than p*ssing off all Trump supporters. The result is going to be not a blue wave, but a red wave in the Fall as an FU to Mueller for his witch hunt.

“You show me the man, I’ll find you the crime.” —Robert Mueller

When he said that, did he ever expect to be looking in the mirror?

Nobody is talking about it anyway. With all of Muellers staff over a year has gone by without any of them contacting wikileaks about where they got the podesta emails. Its not an investigation, its a process crime harrassment mill.

Oh, and Mueller is a “Republican” - like James Comey and John McCain, that is.

In the interview in the May 14, 2018 issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, Comey admits that he is no longer a Republican.

I may have rounded off interest from a savings account to the nearest dollar incorrectly. Good thing I did not work for the Trump campaign. Otherwise here comes the subpoena!

That may be the first time he’s actually been honest. Probably an isolated incident.

Thanks for the info. /hat tip

Wonder if the FBI will bust down their doors early one morning to gather evidence?

We can only hope because the country hangs in the balance.

The two things that need to be done to save America haven’t been done yet—Dealing with the illegal alien problem and bringing the deep and corrupt state to justice. IOW, restoring the rule of law.
