Robert Mueller files request for 150 blank subpoenas in Paul Manafort case

Special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday filed a request for 150 blank subpoenas in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort lives.

The two-page filing reveals little, but says that that each subpoena recipient must appear in the Alexandria, Va., courthouse on July 25 to testify in the case.

Judge T.S. Ellis III has now moved the trial date twice, first from July 10 to July 24, and then from that date to July 25.

The 150 blank subpoenas amount to 75 total possible subpoenas — in each case, a subpoena is needed for the witness and another is needed for the defense. Court documents filed in April show that Mueller's team was pushing to subpoena 35 witnesses in the trial.

Just proves Louise Mensch was wrong.
She said Mueller would subpoena 100.
Missed it by 50, Louise!

Still, chops to Louise.

4. I though it was Cohen's lawyers that were abandoning him

, not Manafort. What did I miss?

6. Indeed, I stand corrected. Thank you. Was just following the lastest on Manafort & Cohen

at the same time..not a good idea since much is going on with both at the moment.
News saying Its Cohen who is more likely to flip than Manafort or perhaps both already have.
No one would know but Mueller.

There has to be a beginning to the end of this story for America. Hoping this is it.


Thanks, Will edit.

(Mensch was right that Mueller would prepare subpoenas on about 100 people, that included Congress & Senate, mostly repubs but some othr Party affiliation, as well as complicit American citizens. I don't doubt that prediction at all.)
