Mueller wants subpoenas for 35 witnesses in Manafort trial

Source: The Hill

Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday requested 35 sets of subpoenas from a judge for witnesses to appear at the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Bloomberg News reported that Mueller sought the subpoenas from a judge in Alexandria, Va., where Manafort’s trial is set to get underway on July 10.

Mueller asked for blank subpoenas, with the names to be filled in later, Bloomberg reported.

Manafort is facing numerous charges of bank fraud and money laundering. He faces 18 criminal charges in Virginia federal court and five in Washington.

Rule 45:

(3) Issued by Whom. The clerk must issue a subpoena, signed but otherwise in blank, to a party who requests it. That party must complete it before service. An attorney also may issue and sign a subpoena if the attorney is authorized to practice in the issuing court.

I’m sure he still has friends or allies in Ukraine who can hide him. Some may even have the right cutters to remove those two ankle bracelets.

I can’t help but suspect he’s holding out either for some sneaky-ass rescue or pResidential pardon.

Traditionally the Subpoena will be served by a US marshal to either the individual or their attorney. A second one will be attached to the witnesses front door which also constitutes service. This ensures that the witness cannot say they did not receive notice.

someone should develop an app, and get it going. You know, configure the app like the Brackets for March Madness NCAA Basketball.

Who can pick all 35 republican traitors to the United States of America? Name all 35 republican traitors correctly, and win a ticket for a front-row courtroom seat to watch republican family-values role model Comrade Casino* be sentenced to hibernate in bitter, barren Siberia till THE END OF DAYS.
