Washington (CNN) A defense attorney for Andrew Miller, who's fighting a subpoena from Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, learned Monday afternoon that the special counsel still wants witness testimony for a federal grand jury.
Paul Kamenar, the defense attorney, says the assertion from Mueller's team made clear to him that Mueller and the Justice Department are considering an additional indictment of Roger Stone or have plans to charge others.
The development sets up the potential for another twist in the Russia probe. It comes hours after acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said that Mueller's investigation was "close to being completed."
Kamenar's client is Miller, a former employee of Stone's whom Mueller subpoenaed in mid-2018 to testify to the grand jury. In a court hearing about Miller's testimony, a judge made clear that Mueller sought information Miller had about Stone's communications regarding Wikileaks and Russian hackers around the time they disseminated damaging hacked Democratic emails.

(5,273 posts)His stepmother Dianne Thorne was a Stone assistant for years and his father Timothy Sueren made money boating undocumented immigrants to Florida from Bahamas and Jamaica until Sueren got caught by feds and became an informant in fed drug smuggling efforts. Thorne, Miller and Sueren were set up by Stone to be highly paid assistants in Carl Paladino's NY governor candidacy but Paladino later called them all con artists. Miller and Thorne and Miller's wife were also set up by Stone to be on payroll of Broward Co. Sheriff Israel after he won election with assistance from Stone. Stone has called Andrew Miller like a son, since he has known and groomed Miller to do his bidding since Miller was a kid.

So this may be the calm before the storm.

(5,273 posts)Hopefully McCarthy will seat Repubs on intelligence committee soon so all the transcripts get to Mueller asap. Otherwise Mueller will have to subpoena but guess he could subpoena for all the transcripts, not just Jr's so it wouldn't be so obvious who is the target.
