In 12/17 Deutsche Bank began to comply with a Mueller subpoena originally reported as being for Trump’s records, but corrected to “people associated with” him. google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
2/ Trump was reportedly outraged by the subpoenas & wanted to fire Mueller. @businessinsider reported he backed off after Mueller’s team told his lawyer’s reports of the subpoenas were t accurate. google.com/amp/s/amp.busi…
3/ Deutsche Bank’s German offices were searched the same day in 11/18 that Michael Cohen unexpectedly appeared in federal court to plead guilty to lying to Congress. Reports were the search involved Panamanian money laundering. Trump’s name didn’t surface. salon.com/2018/11/29/tru…
4/ We’ve not hear much about Deutsche Bank lately until today’s NYT story surfaced - Trump sought & was denied a multi-million dollar loan for his Scottish folk course in 2016. Trump Sought a Loan During the 2016 Campaign. nyti.ms/2DQqHSW?smid=n…
5/ In addition to all the other rumors that swirl around some of the risky positions Deutsche Bank was willing to take was one that said it engaged in money laundering for Russians. They’ve been fined for this conduct as recently as 2017. money.cnn.com/2017/01/31/inv…
6/ Trump denied having business with Russia during the campaign, the NYT story today reminds us that a golf journalist said Eric Trump told him in 2013 the company’s golf properties were funded by Russians. Eric Trump denied making the comment.
7/ It’s interesting there’s nothing further about the Deutsche Bank raid. Interesting that a mere subpoena to DB triggered Trump. Nothing clearly links DB to Mueller’s investigation & it could be unrelated. But Trump once said his finances were a red line Mueller couldn’t cross.
8/ For a prosecutor, a subject who forbids him to examine an area isn’t just issuing a dare, he’s waving a red flag over what he believes makes him most vulnerable, potentially for criminal conduct. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Russian money laundering & Deutsche Bank.

So basically, Russia is trying to discredit the Mueller investigation.
Special Counsel thinks it would be a mistake to wholesale ship off sensitive information to Russia. They're willing to permit review in the US offices of Concord's lawyers - which essentially means a defendant who wants to see it must submit to the jurisdiction of the court.
Special Counsel argues against disclosure beyond the existing protective order: sensitive discovery identifies uncharged individuals & entities that..are continuing to engage in operations that interfere with lawful U.S. government functions like those...charged in the
indictment

1/ It’s important to remember there are layered possibilities here. Mueller is a prosecutor, not a savior of some kind. He will bring indictments in cases within his grant of authority from the DAG where there is sufficient admissible evidence to obtain a guilty verdict.
2/ The report he writes could be a simple recitation of prosecutive decisions - what charges were brought & what cases they considered but declined to charge. Or it could be a detail-rich recitation of the investigation, like we’ve seen in speaking indictments.
3/ Mueller may also, as part of his wrap up, send cases on to US Attorneys with jurisdiction, where he believes issues are outside of his grant of jurisdiction. This will depend on how strictly he construes the job Rod Rosenstein gave him.

Literally no federal prosecutor ever expected this to be the case. I think it still surprises us all when people are interested in the difference between an indictment & an information or want to know why a grand jury gets extended for an additional 6 months.
Y’all, I’m so touched by the replies. I want to answer you all individually, but instead of clogging your feeds I’ll just say thanks very much & if you want more insight from former government lawyers, consider following @BarbMcQuade, @Mimirocah1 @mayawiley @JillWineBanks (con’t)

“Why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates outside their home?” he asked. “They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside but because they love the people on the inside.”

 Do open border policies work?
No.
All one needs to do is look at Germany, France and everywhere else who let immigration flow freely into their Countries.

Rape and sexual crimes have increased to a point of crisis.

 #Germany is having a rape crisis due to their open borders.
Human trafficking has increased and so has violent crimes.
#Trump is right. A strong border wall is needed.

Seems like a thread on recent US practice w/r/t criminal prosecution of foreign sovereign entities might be of interest. @S_R_Anders @YesMomsCan @jedshug @ZoeTillman @lrozen @nycsouthpaw @kpolantz #Mueller #subpoena 1/19
For non-lawyers: to “quash” a subpoena, the recipient (defendant or witness) must show that compliance would be “unreasonable or oppressive.” A court can hold in contempt a witness “who, without adequate cause, disobeys a subpoena.” 2/19 law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/r…
Yesterday’s panel opinion upholding the subpoena and the contempt order rejected the foreign state-owned company’s arguments that it was 1) immune from US jurisdiction and 2) precluded from complying by foreign law. 3/19 lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2018/3…

It is all well & good that companies & lobbyists are reassessing #Saudi Arabia over reported murder of #JamalKhashogg. BUT! Where the fuck have all these people and firms been for decades? The violations of the #Saudi monarchy have never been a secret. nyti.ms/2CcsOjL
Glad to see people pay attention, finally, and I wish it hadn’t been over such a gruesome crime. I wish people and firms had started boycotting #Saudi royal family over its gender apartheid that affects all women there. Or the #Yemen war. Or jails full of activists. Or. And. Or.
This was my first oped about #Saudi Arabia for a US newspaper - ironically enough, The Washington Post. Fifteen schoolgirls had died in a fire because religious police wouldn’t let them out because the girls weren’t wearing a cloak and a headscarf washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

/1
Andrew McCabe, the corrupt little weasel who was deputy FBI Director from the Comey days was running scared. So scared in fact he cancelled a House Intellgence Commiettee testimony.
/2
He was scared because it’s been discovered that Bruce Ohr’s wife was working with Fusion GPS.

McCabe’s wife got three quarters of a million dollars for a failed congressional campaign as a Democrat.
