Well now thatâs a surprise! I thought we telegraphed long ago that we shredded and burned all information from our campaign. What, weâre under investigation?
"The Wall Street Journal reported, citing an unnamed source familiar with the matter, "
So what are they trying to tell us, at this moment.
According to the report, the subpoena was a surprise to Trumpâs campaign
Oh, I bet it was!
Wow, the WSJ actually dishing dirt on their Messiah?
A dozen?! I presume this is additional to Manafort, Flynn, Page, and Popodoupolas. If so, this by definition, has to reach into the innermost sanctums of Trumpâs campaign. Right into the beating red heart of the beast.
Could Trump himself be on the receiving end of a Mueller subpoena?
Everybody sing⌠Itâs the most wonderful tiiiiiiime of the yeeeeeear!
Wasnât the operation of a shredder the first thing taught to new hires in the trump White House??
Wait⌠thereâs an official Presidential Papers Act??? Who knew??
Slightly O/T but just saw this on the Daily Beast:
Iâm not a lawyer but it occurs to me that Trumpâs penchant for binding his subordinates with NDAs backed by aggressive litigation is another factor that a prosecutor needs to consider when choosing to issue a subpoena. It is my understanding that the consequences to someone bound by a NDA are legally ambiguous if they cause harm or embarrassment to their principal under uncompelled questioning by law enforcement. However, once a subpoena is served.the ambiguity vanishes. At that point, the NDA signer is both compelled to provide the documents or testimony and protected from the consequences of breaking the NDA. The subpoena pierces the NDA and protects the signer.
So⌠it is possible that issuing a subpoena is more than just âbad mannersâ it may be strategic.
Of course the people on the receiving end of the subpoenas knew they were being subpoenaed.
Which may explain some earlier Twitter tantrums from the tiny-handed traitor that may have seemed kind of random at the time.
Wow, colluding with a hostile foreign power while not leaving a discoverable paper trail is hard. Who knew?
Itâs just one more example of how government is so much less efficient than the private sector.
Oh and the private sector has never been hacked?? How reassuring??
You have an interesting way of looking at it.
There is no privilege to not respond to a subpoena based on an NDA. Also, you can break a NDA at the risk of being liable for damages (but I suppose your defense would be that you were compelled by the subpoena). Interesting.
Yippeee!!
Letâs be clear. Flynn is guilty and only can save himself or his son by flipping. How far the âflipâ goes is still open but I suspect it includes Michael Cohn, Felix Sater and of course, the Trump crime family.
Itâs always about the money to everyone but Big Donny, who is about the money BUT always about the ârespectâ.
This is forever about a small time NYC mob family âwantabeesâ and when the prosecutors are done, including the NY AG, we will see how corrupt Trump and his âfamilyâ really are.
It may take time, but I want to know it all.
I think you meant orange.
I am sure that Donald Trump deploys NDAs for everything, but I am not sure if campaigns for public office are subject to NDAs, as a matter of public policy I would think they cannot be used to conceal information in which the public has an interest. I am sure he used them on the campaign. I just dont know if they are binding in that situation, unlike, say in his shitty, failing family held,non-stockholder businesses where he is accountable to no one.
Hope you are right on this!
So is this the âQUIET BEFORE THE STORMâ, part of the investigation?
