My question is whether Mueller dropping subpoenas on the Trump Org. is a defensive move in advance of the IG report and the hellfire that will bring, or if it’s an attempt to goad Trump into firing him. I think this McCabe issue fits in with either of those scenarios.
I'm trending here altho Mueller will criminalize DJTs business dealings if possible. So, Trump is on the horns of a dilemma. Thank you Jeff Sessions. Not.
It’s a good question and frankly, I can’t conclude because I’m not sure this is accurate at all. If it is, it says there’s a sense of desperation on the Mueller team. After all, they are 14 months into a “Russia counter intel investigation” and what’s the basis for the ask? You’re possibly requesting a big firm’s records and what’s the basis other than a fishing expedition?
James Brower on Twitter says “Mueller subpoenaed these records because he is digging deeper into CIA operative Felix Sater.”
We’ll probably need more time to smoke this one out and digest. At least I can’t conclude much of anything at this point.
