BREAKING: Special Counsel Mueller on Thursday filed a request for 70 blank subpoenas in the Virginia

BREAKING: Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Thursday filed a request for 70 blank subpoenas in the Virginia court presiding over one of two criminal proceedings involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul #Manafort.

(CN) – Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Thursday filed a request for 70 blank subpoenas in the Virginia court presiding over one of two criminal proceedings involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The two-page filing doesn’t offer much in the way of details, but each subpeona orders the recipient to appear at the federal courthouse in Alexandria on July 10 at 10 a.m. to testify in trial of Manafort on charges stemming from Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Although Manafort faces no charges related to the Trump campaign, he is accused in cases filed both in Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, D.C. of hiding the work he did for and the money he made from a Russia-friendly political party in Ukraine and former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

In Virginia, he is also accused of concealing foreign bank accounts, falsifying his income taxes and failing to report foreign bank accounts

And this is your punishment for disobeying them. Do you see now what your disobedience causes? If you were just content to be a slob, NONE of this would be happening.
Every time you bathe,Donald Trump commits another crime. Happy now?

Maybe this includes some Senators or Congressmen who accepted bribes? Maybe this includes some of the useless Cabinet or White House staff? My mind is reeling right now.

Is this because they make two copies - one to file and one to issue? Perhaps it's only 35 people?

This process just CANNOT fail, and I'm reading this as a good sign that it won't. One of many.
