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.

The same tech companies which built our country's gov surveillance system are also involved in creating computer systems for other industries including medical…hospitals, billing, pharmacies, etc. Keep in mind Obama used strong arm measures to push medical folks to automate. They know how to keep paper records safe and rely on contractors to advise them in computer records.
