Good news

I wonder if they set fire to the wrong room at Trump towers a few months ago...?

Read this thread. A number of journalists and lawyers have been retweeting it.

Someone last night on the BBC. Kayleigh Mcenany from the Republican National Committee, said the Trump Org had been cooperating fully.
The anchor then mused "I wonder why a subpoena was necessary then".

They were cooperating fully because of the subpoena, which was issued a few weeks ago now. They had no choice.

Was it? OK, the RNC spokesperson still seems to have used an interesting phrase then. At no point did she say it was because of the subpoena.

The RNC do seem to be selective with the facts on this subject.

The subpoena would have been issued in order to prevent the Tump organisation destroying any evidence of possible links to the various personalities who are persons of interest in the election meddling saga.

I imagine if Trump's team had got wind that Muller's Team were going to come sniffing around his business interests, then without the subpoena, the shredders would have been on fire by now.

They probably should have subpoena'd the shredders before subpoenaing the documents!

Yep. In this case, the spokesperson was a pretty smiley young blonde, which I believe is the textbook image to put forward. It's probably not just the RNC, but it does seem to be standard behaviour.

Another interesting point is whether this crosses the red line that Trump has declared.
