First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

This investigation should wrap up nicely by the time Trump's first term is over
 
Why isn't the press talking about the $150M Putin's bank gave Trump Toronto AFTER the property went BK?

My bad, owing the biggest criminal in the world $150M would carry no strings.

It was also coincidental that a nine figure Russian money laundering scam was going on in Trump Tower. They were represented by Tower Tower attendee Natalia Veselnitskaya and got off with no jail time, about a dozen federal dropped and paid a fine of only about $6M. But that's not payback.

Those are just a couple.

Heard Moby on Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) radio show and it was either scary or hilarious. Moby alleges he knows people in multiple intelligence organizations and all say Trump is owned by Russia and is a de facto agent for Putin.

Help an ornithologist/statistician out here...what is a “blank subpoena”?

What is a blank subpoena, you ask?

Under Title IV, Rule 17 of Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the clerk “must issue a blank subpoena—signed and sealed—to the party requesting it,” in this case Mueller, “and that party must fill in the blanks before the subpoena is served.”

Signed, sealed, filled in blanks, then delivered.

Former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah explained that it is common to issue trial subpoenas for witnesses to make sure they show up, but they are blank because Mueller doesn’t want all of the witnesses revealed at this time.

It doesn’t mean as much as it sounds like it might. Mueller wants 35 witnesses to testify for the government against Manafort on July 10th for his trial. These are the subpoenas for those witnesses. Manafort is fucked but that’s been obvious for months.
 
I think Mueller should subpoena Ivanka just to see Trump lose his shit.
 
Exclusive: Nunes demands Justice Department records. Then he doesn't read them.


For months, he had been demanding a fully uncensored version of a highly sensitive document from the Justice Department explaining how the Russia investigation began in 2016, but he wasn't getting it.

As the standoff escalated, Nunes began warning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein -- the man in charge of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation -- that he could face contempt of Congress, or even worse.

"We're not going to just hold in contempt," Nunes said to Fox News last month. "We will have a plan to hold in contempt and to impeach."

Nunes had already been offered time to review a copy of the electronic communication formally authorizing the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, but he had publicly demanded to see what was behind certain blacked out lines.

Facing the growing pressure, and outrage from President Donald Trump, Rosenstein finally relented in early April -- and granted Nunes and Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina access to the document with only minimal redactions to protect the name of a foreign country and agent, along with all members of the House Intelligence Committee.

But when the pair arrived at the Justice Department to review the electronic communication, officials were caught off-guard by his next move. Nunes -- sitting with a copy of the document in an unopened folder directly in front of him -- opted not to read it, according to four sources with knowledge of the situation.

Gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, reviewed a copy and since then nearly a dozen other lawmakers have gone to the Justice Department to read the document, sources say.

As Nunes has moved aggressively to publicly sow doubt about the Russia investigation, the moment marked at least the second time that he has demanded sensitive documents from the Justice Department, only to choose not to read them -- allowing his staff or Gowdy to pore through the materials instead. The California Republican admitted in February that he did not read any applications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

I don't understand how you make it as far as he has in his field and you are not genuinely curious as to what is in the folder. It would sky rocket to the top of my reading list as a software engineer, let alone a politician...
 
Also, as petty as it is, a lot of these requests -- like a lot of FOIA requests by politicians (not by journalists) -- are simply intended to waste people's time.
 
A really Bad day in court for the prosecution.

Judge Ellis berated the prosecutors and said they were acting as a law unto themselves.

This is just the beginning of the end to this witch hunt and use of KGB tactics.

Real advocates of civil liberties are watching and sitting on the benches and juries. This is where the truth will find the light of day.
