Ive been digging deeper into my theory that the mystery Mueller subpeona'd foreign owned firm is the Royal Bank of Scotland.

If I'm right this is a massive can of worms🤔
First off for background the Royal Bank of Scotland is foreign owned, 70% by the UK government.
The UK really would like to divest from RBS which it bailed out and for all intents and purposes acquired in the financial crisis over a decade ago.

The article shows how they, "took it on the chin" unloading a small amount in June....
One of the hold-ups they faced was a plea settlement with the US DOJ that hung over their heads.

It was finally settled on August 14, 2018 for 4.9 billion.👇

It was finally some closure to an embarrassing chapter for RBS🙄

That massive settlement wasn't the only one RBS had made with the DOJ. There was one in 2015 that preceded it.

You'll notice who took a lead role in the announcement: none other than assistant director in charge, Andrew Mccabe.
Lets look at the actual 2015 plea deal mccabe had a hand in:
Well looky here who we see in the signatures at the end😉
Of course we all know weissman...but look who the lawyer repping RBS was😒

It's really interesting that around the same time RR gave meullers an updated scope memo, just after the Manafort raid, that Mueller added Andres to his team. 🤔
Now let's ask first: why would Mueller serve a subpeona on RBS?
Perhaps as I originally speculated he wants RT UK LTD's bank records.

bbc.com/news/world-eur…
NatWest , wholly owned by RBS, 70% owned by UK gov't, was the sole banking provider for RT.
And we know Mueller supposedly had an interest in RT UK LTD👇

All of that makes sense. But why would RBS and the UK gov fight against a meuller subpeona? 🤔
Well, perhaps the subpeona was a little bit broader than just wanting RT's bank records. What if they wanted say, a certain oligarch's as well?
What if RBS had some real sketchy "goings-ons" with Derispaska?

telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
Do you think given the UK's strong desire to finally divest from RBS, the last thing they'd want being revealed are really sketchy deals with oligarch's, that the government turned a blind eye to, because they owned 70% of RBS, and they don't want the stock price to tank?
I think the UK has been lobbying hard for Trump to not make known their embarrassing role in spygate. I think it's logical also they don't want anymore embareassment 😬
2014: RBS declined to comment on dealings with RUSAL post Crimea related sanctions🤔

Sketchy...
RBS, while majority owned by the UK was actively helping Russian Mafia hide/launder $ from 2010-2014.
