Mueller Subpoenas Trump Organization, Demanding Documents About Russia
NY Times ^ | 03/15/2018 | Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman

Posted on 03/15/2018 10:51:59 AM PDT by GIdget2004

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.

How can Mueller continue to violate so many civil rights with clear intent only to overthrow the current administration ( not to enforce any law ) without himself being convicted and sentenced for a crime by a Grand Jury ?

it just boggles my mind that this is happening in the USA, this is third world government activity that we are tolerating.

Well, Rose, we have never been all that good at the
protest game. The Tea Party was about as outwardly
activist showtime as we get. But something like this
would not be about something that our leaders failed
to do. It would be about the giant thumb that the
libtard leaders and their minions stick in our collective
eye. No, we don’t protest well but I think we have
some fight in us.

Looks like we were right - fake recycled news from the failing NY Times.

If Trump doesn’t at least fire Sessions or Rosenweasel he’s toast. No one could survive the unlimited witch hunt Mueller is conducting, no one.

This was reported months ago. Cahterine Herridge on FOX-—one of the top 3-4 reporters out there with Sara Carter, Greg Jarrett, Sharyl Atkisson-—said this is the “wrap up” and that it was a typical end-of-project subpoena that is seen when investigations are about to end.

Trump doesn’t understand that he is in the constitutional right and Mueller as “special counsel” is in the constitutional wrong. He doesn’t yet understand he would be backed by the Constitution to fire this guy. I hope he figures it out soon. My guess is his counselors are not clear about this stuff either, since most of them have accepted the status quo even if they don’t like it, which is a grave error.

Trump is a quick learner. He’s been focused real estate all his life. He knows somethings wrong in D.C. that’s why he’s there. He needs to learn, and I think will, about THE REASON D.C. is so perverse: the Establishment Left (BOTH GOP and Dems) have perverted, ignored, and violated the Constitution at just about every turn.

The Trump Organization is the collective name of a group of approximately 500 business entities of which Donald Trump is the sole or principal owner. Around 250 use the Trump name. https://www.trump.com/

Trump probably will be replaced by Pence soon. I believe he will restore the image of conservatives.

Neo-conservatives don’t have anything approaching a positive image to be restored. A president Pence will guarantee a Democrat landslide in 2020. Your desire?

I imagine the Trump Organization is the management that is conducting or keeping track of all the money he has invested or the contracts for which he is receiving payment.

Alabama has a Democrat Senator now. P-18 has a Democrat. You’re ignoring the obvious consequences of Trump phony conservatism, a fraudulent facade developed to profit Trump Org.
