The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has subpoenaed the Trump Organization to turn over documents, including some related to Russia, according to two people briefed on the matter. The order is the first known time that the special counsel demanded documents directly related to President Trump’s businesses, bringing the investigation closer to the president.
The breadth of the subpoena was not clear, nor was it clear why Mr. Mueller issued it instead of simply asking for the documents from the company, an umbrella organization that oversees Mr. Trump’s business ventures. In the subpoena, delivered in recent weeks, Mr. Mueller ordered the Trump Organization to hand over all documents related to Russia and other topics he is investigating, the people said.
The subpoena is the latest indication that the investigation, which Mr. Trump’s lawyers once regularly assured him would be completed by now, will drag on for at least several more months. Word of the subpoena comes as Mr. Mueller appears to be broadening his investigation to examine the role foreign money may have played in funding Mr. Trump’s political activities. In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s investigators have questioned witnesses, including an adviser to the United Arab Emirates, about the flow of Emirati money into the United States.
Neither White House officials nor Alan S. Futerfas, a lawyer representing the Trump Organization, immediately responded to requests for comment. The Trump Organization has typically complied with requests from congressional investigators for documents for their own inquiries into Russian election interference, and there was no indication the company planned to fight Mr. Mueller about it.

I would love to be wrong, but he is either being blackmailed into inaction OR he is an agent of the deep state and up to his eyeballs in corruption.
In my opinion he has not only betrayed this president, but he has assisted the deep state in the destruction of the United States of America betraying all of us.
In my opinion Trump is our last chance and Sessions has aided the opposition. He KNEW he was going to recuse himself and he took the job anyway to feed his ridiculous ego. He took it without a care as to what his recusal would mean to all of us.
His having dinner with JD scum was a finger in the eye to all and especially the President and the President’s supporters. I truly hate this man.
I couldn’t agree more...Well said.
Forget the pedo for now. McCabe is toast. Word out soon.
Let me be the first to tell you, “You’re wrong.”
Do people not pay attention to news and think anymore?
AG Sessions was on with Shannon Bream admitting he assigned a DOJ prosecutor to the DOJ IG Michael Horowitz.
What does a prosecutor do? Do they proofread papers? Do they stamp them for filing?
Prosecutors file criminal charges, wait for it, against criminals.
McCabe is toast. Tomorrow is the beginning of The Show. #MarchMadness

I will believe you are right when the indictments and the perp walks begin...until then, meh, I am not the least bit impressed by your endorsement.
Despite the delusional pollyannas like Sarah Carter, etc telling us to wait for the IG report...My guess is that the IG is going to use McCabe and a few other inconsequential underlings as sacrificial lambs to end the ‘investigation’. To protect the swamp, the corrupt state, Obama, & Hillary etc.
Muller is coming up dry at every other fishing hole he’s tried...
Muller is coming up dry at every other fishing hole he’s tried...
The special counsel’s reason for being is 3 fold:
1) Embroil the Trump administration with indictments-scandals with the ultimate goal of toppling(impeachment-resignation)
2) Use the SC to bury the mountain of high crime evidence against Hillary & the O’muslim regime.
3) Show the people what happens if you want to go to work for the Trump administration...You’ll be crucified by the propaganda press and indicted by a soviet-style special counsel. Your house raided in the dark of the night by the goose-steppers of the FBI.
Yep and tax records.
Sure. Billionaires take bribes all the time./s
Give them everything they want and find out whose head exploded first later.
Trump to Mueller:
......’have you ever heard of Executive Privilege?’
‘Have you noticed that I am the President of the United States?’
......’GO POUND SAND!’
I guess Trump just doesn’t do enough invading, bombing, assassinating for neocons like you?
All your buddies (Bill Kristol, David Brooks et al) have finally revealed themselves as the pro-sodomy, pro-abortion, anti-gun, open borders Trotskyites that they always were.
Mueller finally revealed himself as a leftist “witch-hunter” par excellance.
JUST look at WHO he hasn’t investigated (hattip to Mark Levin and his list on his radio show tonight) and you’ll see his political bias up in lights.
I might add that by NOT interviewing or putting these Democrats and Russia-linked leftists before a grand jury, he has shown his bias and incompetency.
In any other sane world, he would have been removed for “cause” (i.e, because he’s biased, he’s unethical, he’s politically corrupt, he’ incompetent).
While Hannity says that “journalism is dead” as we know it (not really, only the Liberal/Leftist/Progressive/Marxist journalism besides that of the insane (Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Matthews, Don Lemon, etc), I would like to say that “Honest judicial investigations are dead if a Democrat is involved in it in any way”.
I speak as a longtime journalist (card-carrying from the halls of Congress, the streets of DC and the greenery of So. Vietnam/Cambodia), I have known some of the greatest journalists in modern American history. It was a privilege to talk to them, to learn how they work, and to understand their integrity as they try to do their best in their job.
If you eliminated the key writers at the Wash. Post, NYT, some at the LA Times, most of the McClatchey spawn of evil/Sacramento Bee, and Boston Globe, America would be a better place for “truth and honesty in journalism”.
As for TV and cable “network news” (I use that term loosely, like a bad case of diarrhea), you could get rid of 95% of it and the “honesty, clarity, objectiveness” meter would shoot off into space.
The “New Journalism”, led mainly by conservatives, some libertarians, and a few moderates (liberals and even leftists - Christopher Hitchens was one of them, surprisingly - he didn’t like Marxist or feel-good bullshit writing anymore than most writers with any integrity), is the “New” face of investigative reporting, analytical writing, and just plain “here is the news, unadulterated and as accurate as we can make it”.
You don’t always have to agree with everything they write, but there is more of a commitment to accuracy, honesty, and journalistic integrity than the Left every showed or ever will show.
Let’s read them, praise them when they are good/right, criticize when they make a mistake, and use their (hopefully documented/accurate) information to promote American freedom and justice.
If America survives the next 20 years (and not in Democrat/Marxist progressives hands), then the name Mueller will go down in the history of American justice as the “Grand Inquisitor” of the Obama/Hillary/corrupt FBI officials “Inquisition”.
Our job is to destroy the Left with hard work/research, good writing and speaking, legal actions to defend our rights (and those of all Americans), and getting out the vote for people who really care for America, not just a fancy job title and big paycheck.
Sometimes the “pen” is mightier than the “sword” (I’m a former fencer so I was biased towards the latter), esp. if you aim it squarely at your enemy and their weak spots.
Now I’m too old to wield the “sword” but I can still swing and jab mightily with a good “pen”, keyboard, the internet and friends.
As an old-time friend, a disabled NYPD officer, with likes to end his emails, “Lancers Forward” (and I add, “With Loaded Pens at the Ready”).
The whole special cousel thing is convoluted not to mention unconstitutional.
he has a full time job attempting to overthrow Trump by any means at his disposal
