WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special Counsel Robert Mueller has issued grand jury subpoenas seeking testimony from public relations executives who worked on an international campaign organised by former Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort, NBC News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

 

This is the first indication that Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign team and Russia, is beginning to compel witness testimony before the grand jury, NBC said.

 

Russia's government has denied interfering in the election and the president has denied collusion took place.

 

One executive whose firm received a subpoena told NBC Mueller's team is looking at the lobbying campaign, which ran from 2012 to 2014. Some of the firms involved in the campaign received subpoenas for documents weeks ago, and Mueller's team is now seeking testimony, NBC quoted him as saying.

 

Manafort, whose Virginia apartment was raided by FBI agents last month, is a key figure in the Mueller probe. The longtime political consultant and lobbyist is being investigated for possible money laundering and has been targeted as someone who might testify against former colleagues, two people familiar with Mueller's work have said.

Why they are going to catch something big.

                   I just heard, on MSNBC ('fake news' for Trump fans, ha ha ha) that Mueller's team is questioning a Russian hacking expert who says his hacking codes were stolen by Kremlin operatives - and used to aid Trump's campaign.  If true, it's yet another hole in the plastered/scotch-taped dam which Trump is trying to use to hold back the tide of truth.

 

                     All the King's (Oval Office's) soldiers and all the King's men, won't be able to put Humpty Trumpty back together again.

Only those who don't want to hear the truth would say this. Luckily, those in power, from both sides of the aisle, don't think it's a fishing expedition.  This is serious stuff. And should be treated as such.

Right Wingers who purport to care about the well-being of the USA should each have a poster pinned to their fridge doors which reads:  IF THERE WAS MEDDLING IN US ELECTIONS BY ADVERSARIAL COUNTRY GOVERNMENTS, WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.  .....and bust those involved, to the full extent of the law.

.....impeach, and toss him and his partners-in-crime - in Jail.  Give him a can of gold-colored spray paint, so he can paint his toilet and whatever else, gold.  That way he'll feel more at home.  He can share a cell with this woman....
