Court Request From Special Counsel Mueller Hints at Future of Russian Investigation
A request made from special counsel Robert Mueller in court Wednesday provided a hint of the future of his investigations into Russian election interference and alleged collusion.
While many Republican allies of the president are demanding that Mueller wrap up his investigation, the special counsel requested a hundred more “blank subpoenas” from a federal court in Virginia Wednesday. . .
Recipients of the subpoenas would be expected to appear in a U.S. District Court in Alexandria on July 25 – the date of the beginning of the trial for former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.
Manafort has been charged with numerous criminal counts including tax evasion and bank fraud, but those that have been made public appear to have been committed before his time as then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign manager.
As only one of two people left who could become President, why wouldn’t the FBI or Department of “Justice” have told me that they were secretly investigating Paul Manafort (on charges that were 10 years old and had been previously dropped) during my campaign? Should have told me!

….Paul Manafort came into the campaign very late and was with us for a short period of time (he represented Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole & many others over the years), but we should have been told that Comey and the boys were doing a number on him, and he wouldn’t have been hired!

Mueller’s investigation has come under attack by those who claim that recent revelations about the bias of certain FBI officials prove that the probe into collusion and interference was politically motivated to damage Trump.
