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.

Petty sure COVFEFE is secret code to the Russians
“Probably subpoenaed Steve Bannons plumber too.”
Trump’s barber...after all, Trump might have spoken to his barber at some point.
“Hi, My name is Seth Rich. I was executed by the dnc chairman for the Hillary campaign. Could you please capture my killers?”
“Thanking the current dnc chairman in advance,
I am,
Dead”

Where’s the subpoena for Jullian Assange?
Oh, yeah, Mueller doesn’t want to talk to him. He’d probably hand Mueller his ass and blow the whole thing wide open.
Easier to subpoena social media peons who don’t know anything...
Hey, meddling is nothing to joke about.
If we let it slide the next thing you know ‘wrongthink’ will not even be taken seriously.
It’s a wonder there hasn’t been a groundswell patriot uprising descending upon D.C. by now.
Seems old Bobby Mueller ain’t interested in all that.
Gee, I wonder why. /Seth Rich /Donna Brazille /DWS /DNC/Uniparty Coup
IIRC, Seth Rich was assassinated about July 10, 2016.
The coronation of Queen Rodham Pantsuit was to begin on July 24, 2016, just about 15 days later.
I’m sure the timing was just ...... coincidence.
Anyone actually believe this Mueller will ever be arrested and held to account for HIS crimes? Not holding my breath.
Hand over the Tweet Deck login and no one gets hurt.
WHEN will people like this start telling him to F-off and die? When will Trump fire this turd, or pardon Flynn?
Its not a crime to publish Assange releases.
With Republicans like that who needs communists?
Apparently, Mr. Comey has “come out” - (up-thread)
The left wants to run the clock out and damage Trump by a 1000 cuts. Winning some Midterm battles and slowing down any MAGA is part of the battle plan. Even if it takes 8 years, the left and #NeverTrump is rerouping to come back with a Hellacious vengeance.
LOL, Bingo!
They were caught with their pants down, unprepared and without a clue. How could she lose when EVERYTHING had been laid out and planned so well.
The fact that a FIRST TIME CANDIDATE beat such a “wise, seasoned female” is quite alien to them as it shouldn’t have happened...BUT IT DID.
When will Comey admit that he’s not an American either?
Good post.
Well I for one won't be satisfied until he subpoenas Stone's tattoo artist.
