Mueller asks court for 100 more blank subpoenas ahead of Manafort trial

100 blank subpoenas?

[Psalm 73]

“You get a new subpoena, you get a new subpoena, you get a new subpoena, you get a new subpoena....”

[Pearls Before Swine]

ok, I’m ignorant here. I thought subpoenas needed court approval, although that wasn’t hard to get. But, blanks? How does this work?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This means he has less than nothing. He’s just wants to drag it out as long as possible by bringing in witnesses that have nothing relevant to say.

If he only requested one subpoena I’d be worried.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Isn’t that like asking for blank checks ?

[Pikachu_Dad]

250 now.

This does not pass the smell test.

You type and file a subpoena. Don’t think you ‘request’ one.

Now perhaps you can file a subpoena and ‘hide the name’ of who was subpoenaed.

But requesting blanks ? Don’t think so.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Can people blow these subpoenas off like Lisa Page and other federal law breakers do?

[Logical me]

What, I thought he would go for 5000 more Subpoenas. He'll get Trump because Trump is incapable of fighting.

[Rurudyne]

You can’t run a witch hunt without the ability to issue your own orders.

Mueller is going to keep going till he ruins enough lives that he has to be stopped by the President.

[MichaelCorleone]

President Trump - please - fire this imbecile.

[Jolla]

100 blank subpoenas?

??? make that 101

[Celtic Conservative]

This stinks of a psychological mind trick from a prosecutor who knows he has nothing.

CC

[proust]

he already has that.

[SpaceBar]

We’ve gone full banana.

[MichaelCorleone]

“Can people blow these subpoenas off like Lisa Page and other federal law breakers do?”

Nope. Rule of law is for little people only.

[frank ballenger]

I think Mueller has gone crazier and is wild eyed and drooling now.

Eliot Ness would wake up a judge to sign one to get a bad guy busted and supply some evidence later.

Maybe all the leftist judges hate Trump so badly they will do anything Mueller wants, sort of like a blank contract and a blank check for his fee to go along with a blank subpoena. But 1,000 times? Loony Tunes.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Where are the grownups? When is someone going to step up and say enough is enough? In the past newspapers like the Washington Post and New York Times would have spoken up. There would be a bipartisan call for this tomfoolery to end.

Since when does any white collar alleged crime committed by a private citizen require 200 plus subpoenas? No one is in control. There is no mechanism in place to keep this from escalating endlessly. A real Attorney General would have quenched this months ago.

I wish some judge would wake up and tell this guy to put up or shut up.

[TexasTransplant]

When does DOJ start asking for 100’s of Subpoenas and Arrest Warrants?
