Mueller asks court for 100 more blank subpoenas ahead of Manafort trial
The Hill ^ | 07/11/18 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 07/11/2018 4:35:33 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Special counsel Robert Mueller is asking a federal court in Virginia for 100 blank subpoenas in the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The request was made in a filing on Wednesday. The subpoenas would require their recipients to testify in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria on July 25, when Manafort's trial in Virginia is set to begin.

No further information was provided in the filing, and a spokesman for the special counsel did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.

The request comes roughly a month after Mueller filed a request for 150 blank subpoenas.

Manafort is facing numerous charges, including tax evasion, bank fraud and failing to report foreign bank accounts. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has sought to delay the trial and move the venue to Roanoke from Alexandria.

Manafort has been held in the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Va., since last month, when a federal judge in Washington, where he is facing separate charges, revoked his bail in response to new charges that the former Trump campaign chair sought to sway the testimony of two witnesses in his trial.

Mueller's team is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as any other alleged crimes that may arise during the course of the probe.

How can blank subpoenas possibly pass constitutional muster?

What a colossal disappointment is Sessions.

Rod Rosenstein was asked by Conress if anyone other than Carter Page was wiretapped via a FISA warrant.

His answer: “I don’t comment on FISA”

Now we know that Paul Manafort and Donald J. Trump were BOTH wiretapped!

He must be lining the walls of his country estate with them. Too cheap to buy insulation.

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

Only Democrats, the lawless, pedophiles, Globalists, and the Deep State can ignore subpoenas. You know that!

Trump's greatest error.

Even I wouldn't pull ANYONE from Congress - especially one like Sessions who'd been ensconced in the Senate for 30+ years - and expect any work-product at all from them.

Mueller would like to indict each and every one of us that voted for Trump. This is turning into a war.

No blanks, and no subpoenas before the Page subpoena!

In all the annals of human history has there ever been a more useless jagoff than Sessions?

100 subpoenaes
And where is the crime?
Hang the judge!! Subpoenas are issued ONLY for investigation of an alleged crime. There is no crime.

“Even I wouldn’t pull ANYONE from Congress - especially one like Sessions who’d been ensconced in the Senate for 30+ years - and expect any work-product at all from them.”

EXACTLY right. I remember reading this complaint about Congress maybe 30 years ago. They are almost ALL followers, not leaders. They hide behind the groupthink of the other 534 or 99 fellow do-nothings. True leaders don’t go to Congress.
